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, in an area free from excess moisture, heat, dust, conductive
contaminants, and direct sunlight.
• The UPS operating temperature is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). For optimum battery performance,
the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68° and 77°F (20° and 25°C).
• 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 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.
• The UPS must be returned to Tripp Lite for battery replacement. Visit www.tripplite.com/support
and click the product returns link to request a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number
(an RMA number is required for servce). Once the product request information is completed, an
assigned RMA number and shipping instructions will be sent to your email account. See Storage
and Service for more information.
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 system’s plug
in a way that would eliminate its connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the
UPS system’s connection to ground.
• This UPS is designed to be used on a power distribution system in accordance with the plug
configuration. The basic circuit operation is as follows:

UPS Connection Warnings continued
• Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void the warranty.
• If 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.
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 connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might damage
the UPS and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.
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. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the UPS. At the end of the UPS unit’s life, follow best practice by discharging the battery
prior to disposal. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not connect or disconnect
battery packs when the UPS is operating on battery power.
• Do not operate the UPS without batteries.
Fan Replacement Warning

Quick Installation
1Plug the UPS into an outlet on
a dedicated circuit.
NOTE! after plugging 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 the equipment into the
UPS.*
* The UPS is designed to support only electronic
equipment. If the total VA rating for all
connected equipment exceeds the UPS output
capacity, the UPS will indicate an overload alert.
To find the equipment’s VA rating, look on its
nameplate. If the equipment is listed in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 120 to
determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 =
120 VA). To confirm the UPS outlets are not
overloaded, see the LOAD icon description in
the LCD Interface section under Basic
Operation.
3Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the button Afor one
second. The alarm will beep once briefly.
The UPS batteries must be fully charged (minimum 24 hours) before plugging
equipment into the unit.
Mounting (Rack)
Mount the UPS in either a 2-post or 4-post rack or rack enclosure. The user must determine the
fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable
for the application, contact the manufacturer of the rack or rack enclosure. The procedures
described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be
appropriate for all applications.
2-Post Mounting
2-post mounting requires a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM,
sold separately).

UPS Operating Modes
Standby Mode
(Charger: ON / AC Output: OFF / Battery Backup: NOT AVAILABLE)
When first connected to a live power source, the UPS will automatically energize into STANDBY
MODE. In this mode, the UPS charger will function as necessary to maintain full battery charge, but
there will be no AC output and no battery backup for connected equipment in the event of a power
failure. To turn the UPS on into LINE POWER MODE, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for one
second until a beep is heard, and release.
Line Power Mode
(Charger: ON / AC Output: ON / Battery Backup: AVAILABLE)
The standard protected UPS operating mode for the UPS is LINE POWER MODE. In this mode, the
UPS provides voltage-regulated output sourced directly from the AC mains line power input. UPS
output power is conditioned with automatic voltage regulation in LINE POWER MODE to correct any
voltage fluctuations present on the mains line power input. When operating in LINE POWER MODE,
the UPS will automatically switch to BATTERY MODE during power failures or severe voltage
fluctuations to maintain connected equipment operation from battery reserves.
Battery Mode
(Charger: OFF / AC Output: ON / Battery Backup: ON)
BATTERY MODE is the automatic UPS response to mains AC power failures and severe voltage
fluctuations occurring when the UPS is operating in LINE POWER MODE. In BATTERY MODE, the
UPS is providing battery-derived AC output to connected equipment. When running in BATTERY
MODE, the UPS will automatically return to LINE POWER MODE when acceptable mains AC input is
restored to the UPS.

Basic Operation
Tap the button repeatedly to advance to the AVR display, as shown above.
Note: The value displayed is a random value used for example reference.
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 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. 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 output may be evaluated without disrupting
critical operations. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are
encountered.
Tap the button repeatedly to advance to Sensitivity display, as shown on the previous page.
Press the button to advance through the options. The last option displayed before navigating
away from this menu option will be the selected setting.
Factory Mode Reset
The LCD settings can be restored to Factory Mode by holding the MODE and ENTER/MUTE buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds while in any display mode.
CAUTION: This action cannot be undone.

Storage and Service
Storage
Before storing the UPS, turn it completely OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press
and hold the “ON/OFF” button for two seconds (an alarm will beep once briefly after the interval
has passed); then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If storing the UPS for an extended period
of time, recharge the UPS batteries once every three months: plug the UPS into a wall outlet; allow
it to charge for 12 hours; and then unplug it and place it back in storage. If UPS batteries are
discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
