Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS Systems.

UPS Location Warnings

• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.

• Install your UPS in a structurally sound area. Your UPS is extremely heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.

• Only operate your UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation: 12 in. (30 cm.) clearance at the rear; 4 in. (10 cm.) at sides and on top.

• Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

UPS Connection Warnings

• The power supply for this unit must be single phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems in 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.

• Connect your UPS's Grounding Terminal to a grounding electrode conductor.

• The SU6K contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

Battery Warnings

• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high shortcircuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries [(Sealed Lead-Acid) SU6K (twenty 12V/7AH batteries); SU10K (forty 12V/7AH batteries)]. Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or if in the USA call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

• Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs to your UPS’s external battery connectors.

• Do not operate your UPS without batteries.

• Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses

should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is

connected. Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work, the UPS should be turned off or put into manual bypass (see pg.

12).

• During “hot-swap” battery replacement (when the UPS is on manual bypass and connected equipment is turned ON) your UPS will be unable to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout.

• Do not connect or disconnect the battery cabinets while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.

Control Panels

Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the front and rear panel features before installing and operating your UPS.

FRONT PANEL

4 5 6 7

1. “ON/OFF” Switch: This momentary rocker switch turns the UPS System’s inverter

ON and OFF.

2. “SELECT” Button: This button performs two functions: it allows you to browse

through different power readings on the LCD Display by momentarily pressing the button; it also allows you to silence the UPS alarm by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds.

3. LCD Display: This backlit (16x2 character) dot matrix display indicates a wide range

of UPS operating conditions and diagnostic data. It will illuminate after you have properly completed installation and start-up and after the “ON/OFF” Switch is turned ON.

4. “I/P” (Input) LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate an AC input

supply is present.

5. “AC/DC” (Converter) LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate the

UPS’s AC/DC converter is activated.

6. “DC/AC” (Inverter) LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate the

UPS’s DC/AC inverter is activated.

7. “O/P” (Output) LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate your UPS

is supplying AC power to connected equipment.

8. “BYPASS” LED: This green light will illuminate when the UPS is providing filtered

mains power without engaging its converter or inverter. Connected equipment will not receive battery power in the event of a blackout.

9. “BATTERY” LED: This red light will illuminate when the UPS is discharging the

battery to provide connected equipment with AC power. An alarm will sound which can be cancelled by pressing and holding the “SELECT” switch for 3 seconds. The alarm will be cancelled, but the LED will remain illuminated.

1. Manual Bypass Switch: This red and yellow dial is used in one step of putting the UPS

in "BYPASS” mode, which must be done before performing any maintenance on the UPS with the connected load supported. (See page 12 for step-by-step instructions for going into "BYPASS.") While this switch is on "BYPASS," connected equipment will receive filtered AC mains power, but will not receive battery power in the event of a blackout.

2. Input Terminal Block: Use these terminals to connect your UPS to the AC main

power input. Unscrew and remove terminal block plate for access. The optional SUBP battery pack's IEC-320 connector accepts its charger's input power cord.

3. Output Terminal Block: Use these terminals to connect your UPS to equipment.

A plate covering the terminal block must be unscrewed and removed for access.

4. Input Voltage Select Terminal Block: Use these terminals to set your UPS's to

receive your 208V AC or 240V AC line voltage. A plate covering the terminal block must be unscrewed and removed for access.

5. External Battery Connector: Use this to connect Tripp Lite Battery Packs. The

SU10K requires a SU10KBP or SUBP to operate; additional SUBP's can be added to SU6K or SU10K systems for extra runtime. Refer to instructions available with the optional SUBP Battery Pack for connection instructions and safety warnings.

6. Exhaust Fan: This cools and ventilates the inside of the UPS.

7. AS-400 Interface Port: This female DB9 port connects your UPS to an IBM AS-400

computer interface via the AS-400 Cable included. It uses AS-400 communications to report UPS status and power conditions. Using this port, an IBM AS-400 computer can automatically save open files and shut down its operating system during a blackout. See "Communications," pg. 13, for details.

8. “Smart” RS-232 Interface Port: This female DB9 port connects your UPS to a

workstation or server. It uses RS-232 communications to report UPS and power conditions. It is used with Tripp Lite software and the included RS-232 Cable to monitor and manage network power and to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. See "Communications," pg. 13, for details.

9. Dry Contact Interface Port: This female DB9 port sends contact-closure signals to

indicate line-fail and low-battery status. See "Communications," pg. 14, for details.

10. Accessory Slot: Remove the small cover panel and use optional accessories

to remotely control and monitor your UPS. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information and a list of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.

11. “Battery Start” Switch: This momentary rocker switch allows you to “cold-start” your
