Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the
warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS
systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0° C and 40° C
(between 32° F and 104° F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents
or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LCD Screen panel is at the
top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
• 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 UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when
the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the 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. Do not use adapters that eliminate the
UPS’s connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void
its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• Short circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection are provided by the building installation
for permanently connected models.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent protection
in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code,
Part I, C22.1. Be sure to use maximum 20A overcurrent protection, in accordance with the plug/
equipment rating, for the installation.
• The plug on the power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be sure that the
socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is made easily accessible.
Caution! This UPS may receive power from more than one source. Disconnection of
the AC and DC sources is required to de-energize the unit before servicing.

Quick Installation
1Plug the UPS into an outlet on
a dedicated circuit.
Note: After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet,
the UPS (in “Standby” mode) will automatically
charge its batteries, but will not supply power to
its outlets until it is turned ON.
2Plug your equipment into
the UPS.*
* Your UPS is designed to support only electronic
equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total
VA ratings for all the equipment you connect
exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your
equipment’s VA ratings, look on its nameplates.
If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the
number of amps by 120 to determine VA.
(Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA) If you are
unsure if you have overloaded the UPS’s
outlets, see LOAD icon description in LCD
Interface section under Basic Operation.
3Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the button Afor one
second. The alarm will beep once briefly.
Note: UPS system will function properly upon
initial startup, however, maximum runtime for the

Power Sensitivity
This setting is normally set to 100%, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform
distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing
pure sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some
areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator,
frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery
too often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to
battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts by experimenting with different settings. As the
setting is reduced, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform.
Note: When experimenting with different settings, 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. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are
encountered.

Service
A variety of Extended Warranty and On-Site Service Programs are also available from Tripp Lite. For
more information on service, visit www.tripplite.com/support. Before returning your product for
service, follow these steps:
1. Review the installation and operation procedures in this manual to insure that the service
problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions.
2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the product to the dealer. Instead, visit
www.tripplite.com/support.
3. If the problem requires service, visit www.tripplite.com/support and click the Product Returns
link. From here you can request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is
required for service. This simple online form will ask for your unit’s model and serial numbers,
along with other general purchaser information. The RMA number, along with shipping
instructions, will be e-mailed to you. Any damages (direct, indirect, special or consequential) to
the product incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is
not covered under warranty. Products 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 product is within its warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
Return the product for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you when you
request the RMA.

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 in ON mode), but some qualified service personnel may wish to put the UPS in the OFF mode
and disconnect equipment before proceeding.
Note: Refer to the label on the battery retention plate for the R.B.C. part number.
