Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of this UPS System.

UPS Location Warnings

• The UPS is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and installing.

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

• Install your UPS in a structurally sound area.

• 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. Do not obstruct its ventilation fans or openings.

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

• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the

unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.

UPS Connection Warnings

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

• Connect your UPS system only to a four-wire input power connection (L1, L2, N, G). This UPS requires an input neutral connection.

• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS's plug in a way that would eliminate the UPS's connection to ground. (Note: Model SU8000RT4U has a hardwire input instead of an input cord/plug.)

• Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's connection to ground.

• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.

• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting your UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide

• The UPS contains an internal DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC power source.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might overload the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Maintenance Warnings

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

Battery Warnings

• The internal batteries in your UPS 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. CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as this could cause the battery to explode.

• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Determine if the batteries are inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.

• Fuses should be replaced only by factory-authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

• Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.

• Do not connect or disconnect external battery pack(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery.

• During hot-swap battery replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a blackout or other power interruptions.

• Do not operate UPS without batteries.

• When adding external battery packs to models with external battery pack connectors, connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of the correct voltage and type.

Rear Panel Features (Power/Battery Module and Detachable PDU Together)

Power/Battery Module: This self-contained unit houses the UPS system's power and control components as well as its internal batteries. Independent, Detachable Power Distribution Unit (PDU): This self-contained unit houses the UPS system's input and output

components along with a bypass switch. When the switch is set to bypass, the PDU can be completely removed from the power/battery module for routine power/battery module maintenance without disrupting power to connected loads. While this switch is set to BYPASS, connected equipment will receive unfiltered AC mains power, but the equipment will not receive battery power in the event of a blackout. An optional hardwire detachable PDU is also available separately from Tripp Lite. Contact Tripp Lite for details.

External Battery Connector: Although the UPS includes a robust set of internal batteries, you may want to use this connector to attach one or more optional external battery packs (available separately from Tripp Lite) to the UPS for extended runtime. Check to ensure that the external batteries you are connecting match the voltage listed on your UPS's battery connector. Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as well as runtime. See the battery pack owner's manual for complete installation instructions. Make sure cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running on battery power.

Battery Charge Level Switch (Select Models Only): Controls the UPS system's battery charge rate. If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the right (labeled “EXTERNAL BATTERIES”). This will increase your UPS's charger output so the additional batteries charge faster. CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the right (labeled “EXTERNAL BATTERIES”) without an external battery connected. There is a risk of damaging the UPS's internal battery system.

Ventilation Fans: These fans cool and ventilate the inside of the UPS. USB and RS-232 Communication Ports: These USB and female RS-232 DB9 serial ports may be used to connect your UPS to a

workstation or server. They are used with Tripp Lite software and the included USB or serial cable to monitor and manage the UPS remotely over a network and to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. See “Optional Connection” for details.

EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: This port may be used to connect the power module to a contact closure switch to enable emergency power off. See “Optional Connection” section for details.

Accessory Slot: Remove the slot's cover to install an optional internal SNMP/Web accessory card (Model: SNMPWEBCARD) to enable remote UPS monitoring and control via SNMP, Web or telnet. Visit Tripp Lite on the Web (www.tripplite.com) to learn about available SNMP, network management and connectivity products that may be installed in this slot.

AC Output Breakers: These breakers control output power from the independent, detachable PDU. AC Receptacles: Your UPS features 15-, 20- and 30-amp AC outlets. These output receptacles provide your connected equipment with

AC line power during normal operation and battery power during blackouts and severe brownouts and overvoltages. The UPS protects equipment connected to these receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. If you have a serial or USB connection to your UPS, you can remotely reboot connected equipment by turning the receptacles OFF and ON using Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software. See software instructions for details.

AC Input: Connects the UPS system to a utility wall outlet. Your UPS must be connected to a dedicated circuit of sufficient amperage.

Note: Model SU8000RT4U has a hardwire input instead of an input cord/plug

Maintenance Bypass Switch: This switch allows qualified service personnel to remove the detachable PDU from the power/battery module for routine maintenance without disrupting power to connected loads. While this switch is set to BYPASS, connected equipment will receive filtered AC mains power, but the equipment will not receive battery power in the event of a blackout. See “Manual Bypass Operation” section for complete bypass procedure.

WARNING! For qualified service personnel only. Failure to follow the bypass procedure completely (see Manual Bypass Operation section) will not adequately power down the UPS power/battery module, resulting in the continued risk of death or injury from potential contact with high voltage.

Connection

Plug your UPS's line cord into an electrical outlet.

Your UPS must be connected to a dedicated circuit of sufficient amperage.

Note! After you connect the UPS to a live AC power source, the UPS (in “STANDBY MODE”) will automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned on.

Model SU8000RT4U has a hardwire input instead of an input cord/plug. Remove the circular knockouts to route the input cabling to the AC input terminal block. Unscrew and remove the utility input terminal block cover to access the AC input terminals. Review the hardwiring cautions below before attempting to connect the UPS input.

Hardwiring Cautions (Model SU8000RT4U Only)

• Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.

• When making wiring connections, observe the cable connection regulations appropriate to your area [e.g. National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.] at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your installation wiring so you may cut off the AC input of the UPS during fires and other emergencies. Ensure that cables are fitted with cable sleeves and are secured by connector clamps. Tighten connections with a torque of not less than 24-28 inchpounds (2.7-3.2 NM).

• Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.

• Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause fire hazards. Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to make wiring connections. Ground conductors must be the same size and type as the power conductors used.

• See the UPS case for input and output ratings and refer to National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for proper wire gauge and output protection circuit requirements.

Plug your equipment into your UPS.

Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload your UPS if the total VA rating for all the equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. Do not connect household appliances or laser printers to the UPS's outlets. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by the input voltage (208V, 240V or 120V) to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120V = 120 VA).

Turn the UPS on.

Press the UPS's “ON” Button until you hear a beep to begin inverter operation. Your UPS will now provide output power through its AC outlets to connected equipment. Your UPS will perform a brief self-test and show the results on the LCD Display . See “Startup Self-Test” in the “Operation” section for the display sequence.*

* Cold Start: To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC input power is unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), you can “cold start” your UPS and power connected equipment from the UPS's battery. Your UPS's battery must be at least partially charged for this operation to succeed. Press and hold the “ON” Button until you hear a beep to cold start your UPS. The LCD Display will show ON BATTERY MODE. Battery power will begin discharging. Some electronic equipment may draw more amps during startup; when cold starting, consider reducing the initial load on the UPS.

To Turn the UPS System OFF: Press the UPS's “OFF” Button until you hear a beep. The UPS will stop providing output power through its AC outlets. The LCD Display will show “STANDBY MODE.” The UPS will continue to automatically charge its batteries as long as AC input power is present. To completely deactivate the UPS, unplug the UPS's line cord when the UPS system is in standby mode.

Note: The output voltage is set at 208/120V~ when the UPS is shipped from the factory. If you need to change the output voltage of the UPS, refer to “Output Voltage Selection” in the “Operation” section. You should select the correct output voltage before connecting your equipment to the UPS.

Optional Connection

The following connections are optional. Your UPS system will function properly without these connections.

USB and RS-232 Serial Communication Connection

Use the included USB cable and/or RS-232 DB9 serial cable to connect the communication port of your computer to the communication port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer's operating system. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information.

Dry Contact Note: Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port's pin assignments are shown in diagram . If the UPS battery is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1 and 5. If utility power fails, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down remotely, short pin 3 and pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds.

EPO Port Connection

This optional feature is only for those applications that require connection to a facility's Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When the power module is connected to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the output. Using the included cable , connect the UPS's EPO port to a user-supplied normally open switch. The pin assignment for the EPO port is shown in diagram . The EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor; do

not connect a phone line to this port.

1b1a

2b EPO Pin Assignment

External Battery Connection

Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery system; external batteries are needed only to extend runtime. Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as well as runtime. The illustration shows the location of your UPS's External Battery Connector, where you will insert the battery pack cable . Complete installation instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery pack owner's manual. Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running on battery power.

NOTE: Select models feature a Battery Charge Level Switch . If you connect any external batteries to these models, set the Battery Charge Level Switch (see diagram) to the right (labeled “EXTERNAL BATTERIES”). This will increase your UPS's charger output so the additional batteries charge faster.

CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the right (labeled “EXTERNAL BATTERIES”) without an external battery connected. There is a risk of damaging the UPS's internal battery system.

Internal SNMP/WEB Card Insertion

Remove the slot's cover to install an optional internal SNMP/Web accessory card (Model: SNMPWEBCARD) to enable remote UPS monitoring and control via SNMP, Web or telnet. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234 for more information, including a list of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.

Manual Bypass Operation (for UPS maintenance or replacement)

WARNING! For qualified service personnel only. Failure to follow the bypass procedure completely will not adequately power down the UPS power/battery module, resulting in the continued risk of death or injury from potential contact with high voltage. The UPS's power/battery module and detachable PDU are extremely heavy. This procedure requires several people to perform.

The UPS system includes a self-contained power/battery module along with an independent, detachable PDU with a bypass switch. This switch allows qualified service personnel to remove the detachable PDU from the power/battery module for routine maintenance without disrupting power to connected loads. While this switch is set to “BYPASS”, connected equipment will receive unfiltered AC mains power, but the equipment will not receive battery power in the event of a blackout.

Note: An optional detachable PDU with hardwire input/output is also available separately from Tripp Lite. Contact Tripp Lite for details.

UPS Power/Battery Module Removal

STEP 1. Disable PowerAlert Software and disconnect communication cable(s) from the communication port(s) on the UPS power/

battery module.

STEP 2. Turn the detachable PDU's Bypass Switch to “BYPASS”. STEP 3. Press the UPS's “OFF” Button , if the UPS is powered, until you hear a beep and see a “STANDBY MODE” message shown

in the LCD Display .

STEP 4. If an external battery module is connected to the UPS , disconnect it from the UPS.

The UPS power/battery module is now safely powered down and it can be detached from the PDU

to perform maintenance/replacement.

STEP 5: Remove the five screws that hold the detachable PDU to the power/battery module.

STEP 6: Using several assistants at each end, carefully pull the detachable PDU away from the power/battery module. During this process,

ensure that each section is properly supported after they are separated.

• If the sections are detached in a rackmount application, ensure that each section remains adequately supported by the UPS's rackmount rails. Remove the rackmounting hardware from the front panel of the UPS; slide the power/battery module forward, and remove. The PDU will remain supported on the rackmount rails. Care should be taken in this process because the PDU will not be secured to the rack with hardware of any kind.

• If the sections are detached in a tower application, ensure that the PDU is supported by the UPS's tower feet. Adjust the tower feet so they are as close together as possible.

To reattach the PDU, reverse the process listed above.

Internal Battery Replacement

Under normal conditions, the original batteries in your UPS will last many years. See Safety section before replacing batteries. The batteries are designed for hot-swap replacement (i.e. leaving the UPS ON), but some qualified service personnel may wish to completely turn the UPS OFF and disconnect equipment before proceeding.

Storage

Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF. If you store your UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries for 4 to 6 hours once every three months. Note: after you connect the UPS to utility power, it will automatically begin charging its batteries. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

Your SmartOnline UPS is covered by the 2-year limited warranty period described on the next page. A variety of Extended Warranty and On-Site Service Programs are also available from Tripp Lite. For more information on service, call Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234.

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.

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 number 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. They will also discuss proper packaging and shipping procedures. 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.
