UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants,
dust or 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 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 your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the
UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS's plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be
voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS
to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This
might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor 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. Unplug and turn
off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should be
performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of
batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for
disposal requirements. 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/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery
for your UPS.

properly stabilize the UPS when lifting and mounting.
Connection and Start-Up
Connect a user-supplied power cord
to the UPS input receptacle.
The power cord should have a plug appropriate
for your local site's utility outlets. Plug the cord
directly into a properly grounded, 3-wire, AC
outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy
electrical load (air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.).
The outlet must have an amp rating equal to or
greater than the input breaker rating of the UPS.
Note: Once your UPS is plugged in, the fan and all Indicator
Lights will turn ON. The LINE and LOAD ACTIVE METER
LEDs will illuminate and the UPS will beep to indicate normal
operation. However, power is not supplied to the AC outlets
until the UPS is turned on.
Using the included power cords,
connect your equipment to the AC
outlets of the UPS System.
Connect the female plug to your equipment's
AC input. Connect the male plug to any UPS AC
outlet . Repeat with additional cords to
connect all your equipment .
Note: Additional interconnection cords C13 to C14 and C19 to
C20) are available from Tripp Lite. For more information, call

Optional Connections
(continued)
USB and RS-232 Serial
Communications
Use the included USB cable (see ) and/or
DB9 serial cable (see ) to connect the
communication port of your computer to the
communication port of your UPS. Install on
your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert
Software appropriate to your computer's
operating system. Your UPS may feature
additional communications ports; these ports
may be connected to additional computers that
have PowerAlert Software installed. Consult
your PowerAlert manual for more information.
EPO Port Connection
This optional feature is only for those
applications that require connection to a
facility's Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit.
When the UPS is connected to this circuit, it
enables emergency shutdown of the UPS's
inverter. Using the cable provided, connect the
EPO port of your UPS (see ) to a user-
supplied normally closed or normally open
switch according to the circuit diagram (see
). The EPO port is not a phone line surge
suppressor; do not connect a phone line to
this port.
External Battery Connection
Check to ensure that the external batteries
you are connecting match the voltage listed
on your UPS's battery connector. All UPS
models come with a robust internal battery
system; select models feature connectors that
accept optional external battery packs (sold
separately from Tripp Lite) to provide
additional runtime. Adding external batteries
will increase recharge time as well as
runtime. See the battery pack owner's manual
for complete installation instructions. Make
sure cables are fully inserted into their
connectors. Small sparks may result during
battery connection; this is normal. Do not
connect or disconnect battery packs when the
UPS is running on battery power.

Front Panel Switches
“ON/TEST” Button: This switch controls four separate UPS functions:
UPS Power ON
To turn the UPS on, press this button, hold it for several seconds until
you hear a beep, then release it. The “ON LINE” LED will illuminate.
UPS Self-Test
During normal on-line operation, press this button and hold it until
you hear a beep. This initiates a 10-second self-test of the battery. The
UPS will shift to battery power (all LEDs will illuminate) for ten
seconds.
Alarm Silence
To silence the UPS “on-battery” alarm, press this button and hold it
until you hear a beep.
UPS Cold Start
To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC power is
unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), press this button and hold it until
you hear a beep. The UPS will then provide battery power to its outlets.*
* The “ON BATT” Indicator Light will be illuminated since your UPS will be operating
from battery power.
“OFF” Button: This button turns power OFF at the UPS receptacles.
Press this switch, hold it until you hear a beep, then release it. The
UPS will continue charging and the fan will continue to cool internal
components even after you turn the UPS receptacles off. To turn the
UPS OFF completely, including the charger, disconnect the UPS’s
power cord after pressing the “OFF” switch.
“ON LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate
the UPS is performing normal on-line operation (filtering and
resynthesizing incoming AC line voltage to provide pure sine wave
output). When this light is illuminated, you can monitor the load level
of your UPS on the “LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs.
“LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate
the utility supplied AC line voltage at your wall outlet is nominal. It
will flash if the line voltage is outside the nominal range (either too
low or two high). No action is required on your part when the LED
flashes; the UPS continuously and automatically filters AC line
power to provide your equipment with pure sine wave AC power,
regardless of brownout or overvoltage conditions. If this light is off,
then AC line voltage is not present (blackout) or is at an extremely
high voltage, and the UPS will provide connected equipment with
power from battery.

“BYPASS” LED: This yellow light will flash to indicate that the
UPS’s DC/AC inverter is deactivated and the UPS is in the “Bypass”
mode. During normal operation this LED will light briefly when the
unit is plugged in, but if an internal fault or overload occurs this light
will flash constantly to show that connected equipment will receive
filtered AC mains power, but will not receive battery power during a
blackout. In this case, contact Tripp Lite for service.
“FAULT” LED (select models only): This red light will flash when
your UPS detects an internal fault (overheating, overvoltages, etc.). If
the light persists after restarting the UPS, contact Tripp Lite for
service.
“LOAD ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is receiving AC power to indicate that the set of four
dual-function LEDs is displaying the load level of your UPS.
“BATT ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is operating from battery power to indicate that the
set of four dual-function LEDs is displaying the battery charge level
of your UPS. Note: the “ON BATT” LED will also be illuminated.
“OVERLOAD” LED: This red light will illuminate constantly to indicate
that your UPS’s capacity has been exceeded while it is in on-line operation.
The UPS alarm will beep continuously. Immediately remove overload
until light and alarm go off. If you do not immediately remove the
overload, the UPS will transfer from on-line to bypass operation.
“BATT LOW” LED: This yellow light will illuminate when your UPS’s
battery charge level is low. The UPS alarm will beep until either the
battery charge is depleted or the batteries are adequately recharged.
“ON BATT” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to
indicate that AC line voltage is not present and your UPS is providing
your equipment with battery power. The UPS will also beep every two
seconds, unless silenced by the “ON/TEST” Button. When this light
is illuminated, you can monitor the battery charge level of your UPS
on the “BATT ACTIVE METER” LEDs.

Use to connect optional Tripp Lite Battery Packs for additional
runtime. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at [phone] for
the appropriate Tripp Lite battery pack to connect. Refer to
instructions available with the Battery Pack for complete connection
information and safety warnings.
Fan: The fan cools the UPS’s internal components. It is always on
when line power is present.
Input Circuit Breaker Switch: This resettable breaker prevents high
input current from damaging the UPS or the attached load. If this
breaker trips, make sure your UPS is connected to AC power of the
proper voltage before resetting the circuit breaker by pushing the
breaker switch in.
Ground Screw: Use this to connect any equipment that requires a
chassis ground.
Output Circuit Breakers Switches: These resettable circuit
breakers protect your UPS from output overload. If one or both

Input Cord Connection: This IEC320-C20 or IEC320-C14 inlet
enables the UPS to be connected to an AC power source via a
user-supplied cord with country-specific plug. See "Connection and
Start-Up".
AC Receptacles (Varied by Model): These receptacles provide your
connected equipment with pure sine-wave AC output from the AC
line during normal operation and from battery power during blackouts
and severe brownouts. Power provided at these outlets is filtered to
protect connected equipment against damaging surges and line noise.
Select models feature receptacles arranged in numbered load banks,
as labelled on the unit. Using PowerAlert software and cabling, load
banks can be individually turned off and on from a remote location,
allowing users to reset or reboot connected equipment.
Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks protect your
equipment against surges over a telephone line or telephone/network
data line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your
UPS will work properly without this connection. Not compatible with PoE
(Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect your
UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert
Software and included cables to enable your computer to
automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a
blackout. Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide variety of
AC line power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your
PowerAlert Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support
for more information. See “USB and RS-232 Serial
Communications” in the “Optional Connections” section for
installation instructions.
Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of
electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port's pin
assignments are shown in the diagram. If the UPS battery is low, the
UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1 and 5. If utility power fails, the
UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down
remotely, short pin 3~pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds.
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: Your UPS features a EPO port
that may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to
enable emergency inverter shutdown. See "Optional Connections."
