only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (sealed
lead-acid). Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS
System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.
com/products/battery-finder to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-
circuit current. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in
electrical shock. The following precautions should be observed when working
on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the battery.
• Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce likelihood
of shock.
• Remove the connection from ground if any part of the battery is determined to be
grounded.

STEP 1: Plug the UPS into
a properly grounded outlet.
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, the surge
only outlets will begin passing power.
Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the
presence of live utility power.
STEP 2: Plug your equipment
into the UPS.
There are two sets of outlets on your UPS. Outlets
marked SURGE ONLY / do not provide battery
backup power during power outages. Connect
common desktop items like printers, scanners and
other accessories not requiring battery support to
these outlets. Outlets marked BATTERY BACKUP /
offer UPS battery backup support during power
failures. Connect your vital computer equipment
into these outlets.
Your UPS is designed to support electronic
equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the
total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment
connected to the BATTERY BACKUP /
outlets exceed the UPS output capacity. To
find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their
nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps
(A), multiply the number of amps by 120 to
determine VA. For example: 1A × 120 =
120VA. If you suspect you have overloaded the
outlets, remove some equipment.
STEP 3: Turn the UPS on.
Press and hold the power switch next to the status
LED or LCD screen until the alarm begins to sound,
then release.
The UPS alarm will sound twice as the battery
backup outlets begin passing power and the UPS
charger engages as necessary to keep batteries
fully charged.
Your UPS is now ready to protect equipment
connected to the battery backup outlets from
blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages and power
failures.

ECO Energy Saving
The ECO Energy Saving feature allows your UPS system to save energy by automatically
turning off designated outlets when your computer or other item connected to the “MASTER”
outlet is turned off or in standby mode. The ECO feature is disabled by default.
To enable ECO Energy Saving:
1 Connect nonessential devices that you would like to be automatically powered OFF and
ON to the “CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET” receptacles. Make sure that any devices
connected to these outlets can be powered off automatically without interrupting your
internet connection, local network or other essential services.
2 Select the device from your equipment configuration, such as a desktop computer, AV
receiver or other vital component and connect its power cord to the designated “MASTER”
outlet on the UPS. This master device will serve as the trigger to automatically power-on
all equipment connected to “CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET” receptacles whenever the
device connected to the “MASTER” outlet is powered-on. When the device connected to the
“MASTER” outlet is turned off or enters a low-power sleep mode, devices connected to the
“CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET” receptacles will automatically be powered off.
3 To enable ECO energy-saving mode, double-click the UPS power button while the UPS is
turned on and running from utility power. The UPS confirms ECO mode is engaged via the
LED or LCD interface:
• On single LED models, the green LED flashes off every 10 seconds
• On 3 LED models, the green LED to the left of the PROTECTED LED will flash off every
10 seconds
• On LCD equipped models, the display will report ECO when the ECO status screen
is activated
4 Once ECO energy-saving mode is enabled, the UPS will automatically turn OFF all devices
connected to the “CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET” receptacles approximately 3 minutes
after the device connected to the “MASTER” outlet is turned off or enters a low-power
sleep mode. (The 3 minute delay ensures the controlled outlets remain powered ON during
a reboot). Devices connected to “CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET” receptacles are
automatically powered ON when the device connected to the “MASTER” outlet is powered
back on.
Note: A minimum load is required on the “MASTER” outlet in order for controlled outlets to power ON,
as stated in the table below.

Basic Operation
for Models with an LED Interface (ECO350UPS, ECO550UPS,
ECO650UPSM, ECO750UPS, ECO900UPSM)
UPS ON/OFF
• Plug the UPS into a live, grounded outlet: The SURGE ONLY outlets will begin passing
power.
• Plug equipment into the UPS: You will overload the UPS if the total volt-amp (VA) ratings
for all the equipment connected to the BATTERY BACKUP outlets exceed the UPS output
capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is
listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. For example:
1A × 120 = 120VA.
• Turn the UPS on: Press and hold the power button next to the STATUS LEDs. The UPS
alarm will beep once briefly and the left-side green LED will illuminate. The BATTERY
BACKUP outlets will begin passing AC line power. The UPS will automatically recharge
internal batteries as needed. Once turned on, your UPS is ready to protect connected
equipment from blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages and transient surges.
• Turn the UPS off: Press and hold the power button next to the STATUS LEDs.
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.
Quick Installation (All Models)
To disable ECO Energy Saving:
Double-click the UPS power button while the UPS is turned on and running from utility power.
The UPS confirms ECO mode is OFF via the LED or LCD interface:
• On single LED models, the green LED will be lighted continuously
• On 3 LED models, the green LED to the left of the PROTECTED LED will be lighted
continuously
• On LCD equipped models, the display will report ECO when the ECO status screen is off
Note: The “CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET” receptacles available on the “SURGE ONLY” bank of
outlets provide surge and noise suppression only, they do not provide battery backup. During a power
failure, these outlets will be off regardless of whether the ECO energy-saving feature is enabled or
disabled. Select models include one battery-backup supported “CONTROLLED BY MASTER OUTLET”
receptacle.
