Basic Connection and Start-Up
After successful completion of startup diagnostics, your UPS will turn on into ONLINE MODE. This process takes approximately 20 seconds
to complete. The LCD display will flash ON during this 20 seconds. Once the UPS is running in ONLINE MODE, the LCD screen will report
output status of ON for about 20 seconds, then switch to begin reporting the last selected status screen.*
ONLINE MODE LCD SCREEN (first 20 seconds approx.)
* When UPS is first turned-on, it will switch to report input voltage after approximately 20 seconds.
If you're having trouble turning the UPS on, you may be pressing the ON button too long. Release the button "during" the beep
(not after it stops).
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.
Note: External battery pack options require configuration using the front panel LCD interface or via Tripp Lite’s EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION software. See page 24
for more information if you are connecting external batteries to one of these UPS models.

2USB and RS-232 Serial Communications
Use the included USB cable (see 2a ) and/or DB9 serial cable
(see 2b ) 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

Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information.
2c 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

 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 and inhibits transfer to internal
bypass. Using the cable provided, connect the EPO port of your
UPS (see 3a ) to a user-supplied normally closed or normally
open switch according to the circuit diagram (see 3b ).
Note:
1. If using a cable other than what is supplied, the cable should not exceed
350 feet or have a resistance of greater than 10 ohms.
2. If a non-latching EPO switch is used, the EPO must be held for a minimum of
1 second. This does not apply to a latching EPO switch.
CAUTION: The EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor;
do not connect a phone line to this port.

4External 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 and feature
battery connectors for use with additional runtime. Additional
runtime will increase the required recharge time. 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.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material
is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. The following
precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently
grounded, remove the source from ground connection. Contact with any
part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such a shock can be reduced if grounds are removed during
installation and maintenance. (This is applicable to equipment and
remote battery supplies that do not have a grounded supply circuit.)
NOTE: External battery pack options require configuration using the
front panel LCD interface or via Tripp Lite’s EXTERNAL BATTERY
CONFIGURATION software. See page 24 for more information if you
are connecting external batteries to one of these UPS models.

Economy mode, press the ON button switch until a beep is heard, then
release. Self-test can also be initiated via PowerAlert software at user
determined intervals (see PowerAlert software documentation for more
information). When a self-test is run, the UPS will cycle to battery power
for approximately 10 seconds and automatically switch back to AC mode.
Once complete, the UPS will report the self-test results on the LCD
