Tripp Lite Smart Series Guide

Thank you for purchasing the Tripp Lite SmartPro
Medical Grade SMART SERIES Tower UPS.
We hope this product exceeds your expectations of
performance in its intended application.
Throughout the life span of this UPS, there are
some maintenance practices that need to occur in
order to ensure continued operation of the unit.
The primary component that requires attention is
the internal battery of the UPS system.

In spite of good maintenance practices and favorable
operating conditions, the capacity of batteries does
deplete over time which reduces the back up or run
time a UPS can deliver to user applications.
Some environmental factors that influence loss of
battery capacity are:
•Humidity
•Temperature
•Depth of discharge
•Frequency of recharge

Replacing the batteries may be required if the UPS has been stored for
an extended period of time without a recharge, a loss of AC power
occurred allowing the batteries to completely discharge, or if a problem
has occurred whereby the batteries cannot sustain an adequate voltage.
For planning purposes, expect most batteries in Tripp Lite UPS products
to have a lifespan of 3-5 years. However, for applications that require
constant discharging and charging of the internal batteries on a daily
basis, the lifespan expectation diminishes at a much higher rate.
Because battery cells have only a finite number of discharge and
recharge cycles, the internal batteries may require replacement within a
2 year period if not earlier. This issue is also magnified by deep
discharges, or complete battery drains, allowing the UPS to completely
power off due to lack of DC voltage.
Providing the UPS with a fresh set of batteries maintains the
effectiveness and reliability of the unit and restores the UPS capacity to
its factory fresh state.

The SMART SERIES comes equipped with a user accessible
battery replacement door, which enables qualified
personnel to replace the UPS’ batteries without the need to
take the unit out of service. This prevents extended
downtimes for an application.
The batteries in the SMART SERIES are hot-swappable,
which allows for the replacement to occur while the
equipment attached to the unit continues to operate.
However, for added safety to the load, consider
performing battery replacement during off or non-peak
hours of your application with the attached load shut
down, and the UPS completely powered off.

The following steps are crucial to proper
battery replacement.
Please adhere to these instructions in order to
prevent personal injury and damage to the
UPS.

Facing the rear of the
UPS, locate the two
screws that hold the
battery door in place.
Using a Phillips head
screw driver, remove
the two screws. Once
the last screw is
removed, remove the
battery door from the
UPS.

Locate the tab made of
black tape that allows the
battery cartridge to be
pulled away from the unit
(indicated by the yellow
arrow).
Firmly grasp the tab and
pull the battery away from
the unit enough to expose
the black battery cable
taped to the battery itself
(indicated by the green
arrow).

Remove the tape
covering the black
battery cable connection
to the battery.
Using needle nose pliers,
pull the cable away from
the battery terminal in a
side to side motion until
the cable is
disconnected.

Using the tab that allows
the battery cartridge to be
removed from the UPS
(indicated by the yellow
arrow), begin to pull the
battery away from the unit.
As more of the battery is
exposed, place one hand
underneath the battery
cartridge (indicated by the
green arrow) to support it
as it is removed from the
unit.
