Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants,
dust and direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• Do not mount the 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
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will
damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS input connector, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the ground
connection of the UPS.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean,
filtered, computer-grade output.
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.
• Do not connect surge suppressors to the output of the UPS. This might damage the UPS and will
void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not
open the UPS for any reason.
• Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Battery
replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel. Observe proper precautions.
Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated
handles. Replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of batteries (sealed Lead-
Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.
Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS Replacement Battery Cartridges. Visit
www.tripplite.com/support/battery to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not dispose of
the batteries in a fire.
• Do not operate the UPS without batteries. Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.

Installation
Input Connection
Connect a user-supplied power cord to the
UPS system’s IEC-320-C14 input receptacle
A, located at the end of the input power
cord. The user-supplied power cord should
have an IEC-320-C13 connector at one
end Band a plug compatible with the
local site’s utility outlets at the other end.
(Your computer’s detachable power cord is
probably compatible.)
Note: The plug will vary depending on the type of power
cord supplied by the user.
After connecting the user-supplied power
cord to the UPS system’s IEC-320-C14
input receptacle, insert the plug directly
into a grounded 230V AC outlet. The outlet
should not share a circuit with a heavy
electrical load such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator.

Power On
Press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button A
for 1 second (the UPS will beep) to turn the
UPS system on. The green ON/OFF light B
will illuminate when the UPS system is on.
Note: The UPS system will not begin to charge its battery
until it has been turned on. Connected equipment will not
be supported adequately during a power failure until the
internal battery has charged for 4-6 hours. It will take up
to 8 hours for the battery to charge completely.
3
Output Connections
Using the included C13-to-C14 power cord
A, connect a personal computer or other
electronic equipment to one of the UPS
system’s IEC-320-C13 output receptacles
B. Connect additional equipment with
user-supplied power cords that have a C14
connector at one end.
Note: Laser printers, large household appliances or other
equipment with very high power requirements should not
be connected to the UPS. The UPS will become overloaded
if the combined power requirement for all connected
equipment exceeds the total output capacity of the UPS
(550VA). The VA rating for each piece of equipment can
be found by consulting the equipment’s documentation
and/or nameplate. If amps are shown, multiply by 230V to
determine VA (Volts x Amps = VA).
C13-to-C14 power cords (Part # P004-006) are available
from Tripp Lite. Call [phone] for more
information.

Basic Operation
Power ON/OFF
• ON: When the UPS system is OFF, press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button Afor 1 second (the
UPS will beep when 1 second has elapsed) to turn the UPS system ON. The green “ON/OFF” light
Bwill illuminate when the UPS system is ON.
• OFF: When the UPS system is ON, press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button Afor 1 second (the
UPS will beep when 1 second has elapsed) to turn the UPS system OFF. The green “ON/OFF” light
Bwill cease to illuminate when the UPS system is OFF. The UPS system’s outlets and connected
equipment will cease to receive AC power and the battery will cease to charge.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
• When the UPS detects that input voltage is above or below the acceptable range, it will automatically
adjust the voltage to a safe level. This is an automatic function of the UPS system and does not
require user intervention.
• Faint clicking sounds may be emitted by the UPS system during automatic voltage regulation. This is
normal.
• If the input voltage is extremely far above or below the acceptable range, the UPS system will switch
to On Battery mode (see “On Battery / Low Battery / Overload” section below) in order to adjust the
voltage to a safe level.
On Battery / Low Battery / Overload
• During a utility power failure (or extreme voltage fluctuation), the UPS system will switch to On
Battery mode. When the UPS switches to On Battery mode, stored battery power supports the
uninterrupted operation of connected equipment until utility power is restored or battery reserves are
depleted.
• After the UPS system switches to On Battery mode, the alarm will emit 4 beeps every 7 seconds.
The alarm may be muted by pressing the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button Afor 2 seconds.
• If the UPS detects a Low Battery condition after switching to On Battery mode, the frequency of the
audible alarm will increase to 4 beeps every 2 seconds and the red “Overload / Check Battery” light
Cwill blink.
• If the UPS detects an Overload condition after switching to On Battery mode, the audible alarm will
sound continuously and the red “Overload / Check Battery” light Cwill illuminate continuously. In
order to correct an overload, turn the UPS OFF and remove some of the attached equipment.
Note: If the overload exceeds 150% of the UPS system’s capacity, the UPS system will automatically shut down.

Basic Operation (continued)
UPS Self-Test
• Initiate a UPS self-test by pressing the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button Afor 2 seconds while the
UPS is ON and operating from utility power.
(Note: If you hold the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button for only 1 second, the UPS will turn OFF, interrupting the flow of power to
connected equipment.)
• During the self-test operation, the UPS will switch to On Battery mode for 20 seconds. The alarm
will emit a beep 4 times every 7 seconds.
• Do not attempt to test the UPS by unplugging it from the wall outlet. This will remove the UPS
system’s ground connection and places connected equipment at risk.
UPS Cold Start
• To use the UPS system as a stand-alone power source when AC power is unavailable (i.e. during a
blackout), press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button Afor 1 second (the UPS will beep when
1 second has elapsed) to turn the UPS system ON. The UPS will then provide power to its output
receptacles until battery reserves have been depleted.
• Do not attempt to cold-start the UPS system while it is disconnected from the wall outlet. The wall
outlet provides grounding that helps to protect connected equipment.
Mute Alarm
• Mute the audible alarm by pressing the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button Afor 2 seconds.
Note: Muting is disabled if a Low Battery or Overload condition is detected.
