UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants,
dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between between 32º F and 104º F
(0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the
UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS's plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be
voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS
to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not open your UPS for any reason.
• Since batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current,
observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the
same number and type of new batteries (sealed lead-acid). Do not open the batteries. Do
not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Tripp Lite offers a complete
line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite on the
Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement
battery for your UPS.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in
the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or
visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not operate your UPS without batteries.

Important Safety Instructions Quick Installation
Connection and Start-Up
Plug your UPS into an electrical
outlet.
Plug the UPS directly into a properly ground-
ed, 3-wire, AC outlet that does not share a cir-
cuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air
conditioner, refrigerator, etc.). The outlet must
have an amp rating equal to or greater than
your UPS’s input breaker rating (see
Specifications).
Note: Once your UPS is plugged in, the fan and all
Indicator Lights will turn ON. The “LINE” and
“LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs will illuminate
and the UPS will beep to indicate normal operation.
However, power is not supplied to your UPS’s AC
outlets until the UPS is turned on.
Plug your equipment into your UPS.
Your UPS is designed to support computer
equipment only. You will overload your UPS
if you connect devices with high power
demands such as household appliances or
laser printers to your UPS's outlets.
Turn your UPS ON:
• Press the “ON/TEST” Switch
• Hold it for several seconds until you
hear a beep
• Release it
The “ON LINE” LED will now light, and your
UPS will begin providing power to its AC
outlets.
Note: If this is the first time you have plugged in
your UPS, or if your UPS has been in storage for a
prolonged period, it will need to charge its batteries
for 2-4 hours before it can support connected equip-
ment in the event of a power failure.

The connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly
without these connections.
Serial Port Connection
Using the serial cable provided, connect the
serial port on your computer to the serial port
of your UPS. Install on your computer the
PowerAlert UPS monitoring software pro-
gram (included on CD-ROM) appropriate for
your operating system. See Communications
in the Basic Operation section of this manual
to determine how to monitor and manage your
UPS using this port.
External Battery Pack Connection
Check to ensure that the external batteries you
are connecting match the voltage listed on
your UPS's battery connector. Plug either end
of the battery connection cable (supplied with
the battery pack) into the UPS’s External
Battery Connector and the other end into the
Battery Output Connector on the rear panel of
the external battery pack. Since your UPS has
internal batteries, external batteries are only
needed to extend runtime. Adding external
batteries will increase recharge time as well as
runtime. Make sure that each end of the cable is
fully inserted into its connector. Several small
sparks may result during battery connection;
this is normal.

Basic Operation
Front Panel Switches
“ON/TEST” Switch: This switch controls four separate UPS functions:
UPS Power ON: To turn the UPS on, press this switch, hold it for
several seconds until you hear a beep, then release it. The “ON LINE”
LED will illuminate.
UPS Self-Test: During normal on-line operation, press this switch
and hold it until you hear a beep. This initiates a 10-second self-test
of the battery. The UPS will shift to battery power (the “ON BATT”
and “BATT ACTIVE METER” LEDs will illuminate) for ten seconds.
Alarm Silence: To silence the UPS “on-battery” alarm, press this
switch and hold it until you hear a beep.
UPS Cold Start: To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source
when AC power is unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), press this
switch and hold it until you hear a beep. The UPS will then provide bat-
tery power to its outlets.*
* The “ON BATT” Indicator Light will be illuminated since your UPS will be operating
from battery power.
“OFF” Switch: This switch turns power OFF at the UPS receptacles.
Press this switch, hold it until you hear a beep, then release it. The
UPS will continue charging and the fan will continue to cool internal
components even after you turn the UPS receptacles off. To turn the
UPS OFF completely, including the charger, disconnect the UPS’s
power cord after pressing the “OFF” switch.
“ON LINE” LED: This green light will be lit when the UPS is in normal
on-line operation (filtering and resynthesizing incoming AC line voltage
to provide pure sine wave output). When this light is illuminated, you
can monitor the load level of your UPS on the “LOAD ACTIVE
METER” LEDs.
“LINE” LED: This green light will be lit when the utility-supplied
AC line voltage at your wall outlet is nominal. It will flash if the line
voltage or frequency is outside the nominal range (either too low or
too high). No action is required on your part when the LED flashes;
the UPS continuously and automatically filters AC line power to pro-
vide your equipment with pure sine wave AC power, regardless of
brownout or overvoltage conditions. If this light is off, then AC line
voltage is not present (blackout) or is at an extremely high voltage.

“REPLACE BATT” LED: This red light will be lit and the UPS alarm
will sound three beeps* if your UPS’s microprocessor detects a
battery fault or if your UPS fails the automatic self-test (after you turn
your UPS ON) and the UPS battery is less than fully charged. Let the
UPS charge for 12 hours, then perform a second self test (see p.5 for
details). If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service.
*After the initial alarm, the UPS will beep once every hour until the problem is corrected.
AC Receptacles: These receptacles provide your con-
nected equipment with pure sine-wave AC output from the
AC line during normal operation and from battery power
during blackouts and severe brownouts. Power provided
at these outlets is filtered to protect connected equipment
against damaging surges and line noise. Each UPS
model includes a select number of receptacles arranged
into two separate load banks (clearly indicated on the
rear panel of the UPS system). Using PowerAlert
Software and RS-232 communications, power at either of
these load banks may be turned ON and OFF remotely
without affecting the power output at any other recepta-
cles. See PowerAlert Software instructions for details.
Input Circuit Breaker Switch: This resettable breaker prevents high
input current from damaging the UPS or the attached load. If this
breaker trips, make sure your UPS is connected to AC power of the
proper voltage before resetting the circuit breaker by pushing the
breaker switch in.
Fan: The fan cools the UPS’s internal components. It is always on
when line power is present.
External Battery Pack Connector: Use to connect optional Tripp Lite
Battery Packs for additional runtime. Contact Tripp Lite Customer
Support at (773) 869-1234 for the appropriate Tripp Lite battery pack
to connect. Refer to instructions available with the Battery Pack for
complete connection information and safety warnings.

“BYPASS” LED: This yellow light will be lit when the UPS’s
DC/AC inverter is deactivated and the UPS is in the “Bypass” mode.
During normal operation this LED will light briefly when the unit is
plugged in, but if an internal fault or overload occurs this light will
illuminate constantly to show that connected equipment will receive
filtered AC utility power, but will not receive battery power during a
blackout. In this case, contact Tripp Lite for service.
“FAULT” LED: This red light will flash when your UPS detects an
internal fault (overheating, overvoltages, etc.) or when it detects a
wiring fault in your wall outlet (reversed phases, missing ground,
etc.) The UPS will only detect wiring faults when it is plugged into
a utility outlet but not turned ON. If the light persists after restarting
the UPS, contact an electrician to check the AC line. Your UPS will
identify the presence of most (but not all) wiring faults.
“LOAD ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is receiving AC power to indicate that the set of four
dual-function LEDs is displaying the load level of your UPS.
“BATT ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will be lit when
your UPS is operating from battery power to indicate that the set of
four dual-function LEDs is displaying the battery charge level of your
UPS. Note: the “ON BATT” LED will also be illuminated.
“OVERLOAD” LED: This red light will be lit when your UPS’s capaci-
ty has been exceeded while it is in on-line operation. The UPS alarm will
beep continuously. Immediately remove overload until light and alarm
go off. If you do not immediately remove the overload, the UPS will
transfer from on-line to bypass operation.
“BATT LOW” LED: This yellow light will be lit when your UPS’s
battery charge level is low. The UPS alarm will beep until either the
battery charge is depleted or the batteries are adequately recharged.
“ON BATT” LED: This green light will be lit when AC line voltage
is not present and your UPS is providing your equipment with battery
power. The UPS will also beep every two seconds, unless silenced by
the “ON/TEST” Switch. When this light is illuminated, you can monitor
the battery charge level of your UPS on the “BATT ACTIVE
METER” LEDs.

“SMART” DB9 Port: Your UPS’s DB9 port can be used to monitor
and control your UPS using either RS-232 or dry contact protocols. It
can also be used to connect an emergency power off switch.
RS-232 communications are very complex but are easy to implement.
The easiest way to monitor and control the UPS using RS-232 is to connect
the UPS to a computer with a DB9 cable and install Tripp Lite’s
PowerAlert software on the connected computer.
Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of
electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port’s pin
assignments are shown in the diagram at the left. If the UPS battery
is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pin 1 and pin 5. If utility
power fails, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pin 8 and pin 5. To
shut the UPS down remotely, send a 5V to 12V signal on pin 3 (using
pin 5 as the (negative) ground) for at least 3.8 seconds.
You may connect your UPS to an EPO switch and a computer at once
using a Tripp Lite EPO cable (not included; order accessory #73-
0901 from Tripp Lite). Follow the connection procedures included
with the EPO Cable.

Storage and Service
Storage
Service
First turn your UPS OFF: press the “OFF” switch to turn power off at the UPS outlets, then
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Next, disconnect all equipment to avoid battery
drain. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS
batteries once every three months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet and letting the
UPS charge for 4-6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period
of time, they may suffer permanent loss of capacity.
Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps:
1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that the service
problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the UPS
System's circuit breaker(s) are not tripped. This is the most common cause of service inquiries
which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual.
2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp
Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service technician will ask for the UPS's model number, serial num-
ber and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone.
3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material
Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the
technician can arrange to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage
during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect,
special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an
authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to
Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid.
Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year
warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the UPS for service using an
insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.
