Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the

installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these

warnings will void your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

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

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS.

Battery Warnings

Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current.

Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS

or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn

off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should be performed

only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (sealed

Lead-Acid).The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your 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

B

the cord’s male plug into any of

UPS’s female output receptacles.

4

Plug additional equipment into

the UPS.*

Use one of the additional jumper cords supplied with

the UPS, or order additional jumper cords from

Tripp Lite. Call (773) 869-1234; order part # P004-006.

* Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You

will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you

connect exceeds the UPS’s output capacity (see Specifications). To

find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the

equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 230 to

determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 230 = 230 VA). If you are unsure if

you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD

LEVEL” LED description.

Quick Installation

optional

These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.

1

Phone Line or Phone/Network

Line Surge Suppression

(Select models only)

Your UPS has jacks which protect against

surges on a phone line or data line (depending

on model). Using telephone or network cords

connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked

“IN.” Connect your equipment to the UPS jack

marked “OUT.” Make sure the equipment you

connect to the UPS’s jacks is also protected

against surges on the AC line.

USB Communications

Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of

your computer to the USB port of your UPS.

Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring

software program appropriate for your operat-

ing system from www.tripplite.com and install

it on your computer.

External Battery Connection

(Select models only)

All UPS models come with a robust internal

battery system; select models feature connectors

that accept an optional external battery pack

(sold separately from Tripp Lite*) to provide

additional runtime. Adding an external battery

will increase recharge time as well as runtime.

See 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

pack when the UPS is running on battery power.

*See Specifications section for battery pack available for

your specific UPS model.

Basic Operation

Buttons

“ON/OFF/STANDBY” Button

• To turn the UPS ON: if utility power is present, the UPS will turn

ON automatically. If utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the

UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power from its batteries*) by pressing

and holding the ON/OFF/STANDBY button for one second.**

• To turn the UPS OFF: first, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet;

then press and hold the ON/OFF/STANDBY button for one

second.** The UPS will be completely “OFF” (deactivated).

• To place the UPS in “Charge-Only” Mode: this mode enables battery

charging, but disables battery backup. WARNING: when the UPS is in

this mode, it will not provide battery backup during a blackout or

brownout. This mode is only recommended for use in areas that

experience frequent blackout/brownout conditions and when connected

equipment is not in use. Press and hold the ON/OFF/STANDBY

button for four seconds to place the UPS in this mode.** Press and

hold the ON/OFF/STANDBY button for one second** to take the

UPS out of this mode.

*If fully charged. **The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed (and

will beep continuously after four seconds have passed which signals transition to the

“Charge-Only” Mode).

“MUTE/TEST” Button

To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the

MUTE/TEST button. Note: continuous alarms (warning you to imme-

diately shut down connected equipment) cannot be silenced.

To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press

and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding

the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs

a self-test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below. Note: you can leave

connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will

not perform a self-test if you have placed it in “Charge-Only” mode

(see “ON/OFF/STANDBY” Button description).

CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will

remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging

surge into your network connections.

Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds

as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and

charge.

• If the “OVERLOAD” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to

sound after the test, the battery-supported outlets are overloaded.

To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the bat-

tery- supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the “OVER-

LOAD” LED is no longer lit and the alarm is no longer sounding.

CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user

immediately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut

down and cease supplying output power in the event of a

blackout or brownout.

• If the “REPLACE BATTERY” LED remains lit and the alarm

continues to sound after the test, the UPS batteries need to be

recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously

for 2-4 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED continues to

flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery

replacement, visit www.tripplite.com to locate the specific

Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.

“LINE POWER” LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate

that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with AC power from a

utility source. The LED flashes to remind you that you have used the

ON/OFF/STANDBY button to place the UPS in “Charge-Only” mode.

“BATTERY POWER” LED: this yellow LED lights continuously and an

alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is oper-

ating from its internal batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout,

this LED and the “REPLACE BATTERY” LED will light continuously and

an alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out

of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.

“REPLACE BATTERY” LED: this red LED lights continuously and an

alarm sounds after a self-test to indicate the UPS batteries need to be

recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for at least

4 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite

for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit

www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite

replacement battery for your UPS.

“OVERLOAD” LED: this red LED lights continuously and an alarm

sounds after a self-test to indicate the battery-supported outlets are overloaded.

To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-

supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the LED is no longer

lit and the alarm is no longer sounding.

CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately

following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying

output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.

“VOLTAGE CORRECTION” LED (select models only): Although all

models automatically correct incoming voltage, select models include an

LED which lights green whenever the UPS is performing this function.

The UPS will also click gently. These are normal, automatic operations of

your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

AC Outlets: the outlets will provide battery backup and surge protection;

A

plug your computer, monitor, printer and other critical devices here. Your

UPS is designed to only support computer equipment. You will overload

the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the

A

outlets exceeds the UPS’s output capacity (see Specifications). If you are

unsure if you have overloaded the outlets, run a self-test (see

A

“MUTE/TEST” Button description).

Telephone/Network Protection Jacks (select models): These jacks

protect your equipment against surges over a telephone or data line.

Your UPS has either jacks which can be used with both phone and

data lines, or jacks which can be used with phone lines only. See

Specifications to determine what kind of jacks your UPS has.

Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will

work properly without this connection.

External Battery Pack Connection (select models): Check to

ensure that the external batteries you are connecting match the voltage

listed on your UPS's battery connector. Plug the battery connection

cable (attached to the battery pack) into the UPS’s External Battery

Connector. 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 the end of

the cable is fully inserted into the UPS connector. Several small

sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal.

USB Port: The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation

or server. Using this port, your UPS can communicate “line-fail” and

“low-battery” status to your computer. Use with Tripp Lite software

and any USB cable to automatically save open files and shut down

equipment during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or

consult your power protection software manual for more information.

Battery Replacement Door: Battery Replacement Door: Under nor-

mal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several

years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified

service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section.

Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the

Web at www.tripplite.com to locate the specific replacement battery

for your UPS.

Power Sensitivity Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counter-

clockwise, which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection

against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion

occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sine wave

power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is pres-

ent. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power

comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform distortion could

cause the UPS to switch to battery too frequently, draining its battery

reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to

battery due to moderate waveform distortion by experimenting with

different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the

UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC wave-

form. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater

the degree of waveform distortion the UPS will allow to pass to con-

nected equipment. When experimenting with different settings for

this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the

effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s

output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.

Storage & Service

Storage

All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery

drain. Unplug the UPS from the wall outlet; then press and hold the ON/OFF/STANDBY button for

one second. The UPS will be completely “OFF” (deactivated). Your UPS is now ready for stor-

age. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS bat-

teries once every three months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet and letting the UPS

charge for up to 4 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of

time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

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 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. 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.
