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. Note: The rotary bypass switch should only be operated while the UPS is in BYPASS Mode. (See section “Manual Bypass Operation” on page 8 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-, 20and 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.

2 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).

3 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.

Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however, maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.

To Turn the UPS System OFF: Press the UPS's “OFF” Button until you hear a beep. The LCD Display will show “BYPASS 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 bypass mode.

Optional Connection

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

1 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.

2 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 UPS is connected to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the UPS’s inverter and inhibits transfer to internal bypass. Using the cable provided, connect the EPO port of your UPS (see ) to a user-supplied normally closed or normally open switch according to the circuit diagram (see ).

Note:

1.If using a cable other than what is supplied, the cable should not exceed 350 feet or have a resistance of greater than 10 ohms.

2.If a non-latching EPO switch is used, the EPO must be held for a minimum of 1 second. This does not apply to a latching EPO switch.

CAUTION: The EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor; do not connect a phone line to this port.

Optional Connection (continued)

3 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 3a. 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 3b. 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.

4 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.

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.

(Optional: During a hot-swap, the PDU can be housed in the back of the rack configuration using supplied PDU hanger brackets and hardware. See STEP 1 below for mounting instructions.)

UPS Power/Battery Module Removal

STEP 1. (Optional) Attach a PDU hanger bracket to the right and left side, rear mounting rails using included screws and cage nuts. Important: determining where to attach your PDU hanger brackets will depend on your rack configuration. Generally it is recommended to mount the brackets in a U space close to where the UPS and PDU are mounted in. Be sure to mount both left and right brackets in the same U space on each side.

STEP 2. Disable PowerAlert Software and disconnect communication cable(s) from the communication port(s) on the UPS power/ battery module.

STEP 3. Press the UPS's “OFF” Button , if the UPS is powered, until you hear a beep and see a "Switch to Bypass N(NO)/Y(OFF)" message shown in the LCD Display . To continue, press the OFF button. If the bypass voltage is out of range, the unit will display "Bypass Out of Range, Unable to Bypass" and will cancel the request. Repeat this procedure. If the error persists, contact Customer Support.

STEP 4. Turn the detachable PDU's Bypass Switch to “BYPASS”.

STEP 5. 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 6: Remove the five screws that hold the detachable PDU to the power/battery module.

WARNING! High Voltage! Risk of electrical shock! SEE PAGE 9.

STEP 7: 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 it is desired to leave the detached PDU in the rack, hang the unit in back of the rack on the installed PDU hanger brackets by the screws used to attach the PDU to the UPS system.

•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.

Operation (continued)

Normal Operation

During normal operation, the first line of your LCD Display shows which operating mode your UPS is in: “UPS MODE”, “ON BATTERY MODE”, “BYPASS MODE” or “STANDBY MODE”.

“UPS MODE”: The UPS provides AC power while utility power is available and switches to ON BATTERY MODE instantly (zero transfer time) if AC power is interrupted.

“ON BATTERY MODE”: The UPS provides AC power from battery backup so long as battery power lasts. It switches back to UPS MODE if utility power is available and shuts down if it runs out of battery power.

“STANDBY MODE”: The UPS is plugged in, charging it’s batteries and receiving AC power. However, it has not been turned on. “BYPASS MODE”: The UPS provides AC power while utility power is available. The UPS shuts down if AC power is interrupted.

The second line of the LCD Display shows basic power conditions. Push the SCROLL buttons to browse through these basic power conditions in the sequence shown below.

On Battery Alarm

When in the ON BATTERY MODE, the UPS power module will beep to inform you that it is using battery power to support connected equipment. If its connected batteries are at more than half capacity, it will beep every two seconds. If its connected batteries are below half capacity, it will beep twice per second. If its connected batteries are nearly depleted, the UPS power module will beep continuously. To silence the On Battery Alarm, press the “ON/MUTE” Button.

Configuration Menu

The UPS output voltage is set at 208/120V~ when the UPS is shipped from the factory. In order to change the output voltage of the UPS, you first need to enter “ON BATTERY MODE” by cold-starting the UPS. (The battery must be at least partially charged for this operation to succeed.) If the UPS is on, press and hold the “OFF” button until you hear a beep, disconnect any connected equipment and disconnect the UPS from its AC power input. After the UPS is disconnected from AC power, press the “ON/MUTE” button until you hear a beep. The LCD screen will show “ON BATTERY MODE” and an alarm will sound periodically to inform you that the UPS is using battery power. Silence the alarm by pressing the “ON/MUTE” button.

After the UPS has entered “ON BATTERY MODE”, press the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons simultaneously for longer than 1 second. The UPS will beep and the LCD will show the SET-UP screen(1). Press the SCROLL UP/SELECT button to enter the “UPS SET-UP” procedure(2). Press the SCROLL UP/SELECT button again to enter the “OUTPUT SELECT” procedure(3). There are 3 output voltage selections. Press the SCROLL DOWN button to scroll to the desired output voltage selection (3)-(5) and then press the SCROLL UP/SELECT button to select it. The LCD will return to the “OUTPUT SELECT” screen(2). Press the SCROLL DOWN button to reach the SET-UP screen(1) and press the SCROLL DOWN button again to exit the SET-UP procedure. The LCD should be back to “ON BATTERY MODE”. Press the “OFF” key until you hear a beep, and the UPS will save the selected output voltage parameter. Restore the AC power input of the UPS and press the “ON” key to turn on the UPS and use the SCROLL DOWN button to scroll through the basic power conditions displays and confirm that the output voltage has been changed to the desired value.

Economy Mode (ECO) is a high-efficiency operating mode in which the double conversion process is suspended. Incoming power is filtered, and if the input voltage is within +/- 10% of the nominal voltage, it is passed through to connected equipment. If the input voltage goes outside of this acceptable range, the unit automatically returns to its Online Mode to provide a highly regulated output derived from the system’s inverter. If voltage subsequently returns to the acceptable range, the unit will return to its high efficiency mode.

Overload Messages

When the UPS detects an output overload, its LCD will switch to the following display:

OVERLOAD!

LOAD1 = XXX% X.XKW

OVERLOAD!

LOAD2 = XXX% X.XKW

The UPS will then begin a countdown. If the UPS is still overloaded at the end of the countdown, the UPS will automatically go to BYPASS MODE to protect its inverter. The duration of the countdown varies with the severity of the overload, as follows:

Overload Condition	Countdown Duration
102% - 125%	1 minute
125% - 150%	30 seconds
> 150%	Immediate Bypass

Bypass Messages

While in BYPASS MODE, the UPS monitors its input voltage and passes that input power along to connected equipment. The UPS will not provide battery backup in BYPASS MODE. If the output voltage deviates from an acceptable range (between 15% higher and 20% lower than nominal), the UPS displays the condition on its LCD and stops supplying output power to its load.
