Important Safety Instructions
Connection and Start-Up
Plug your UPS’s line cord into an
electrical outlet.
Your UPS must be connected to a dedicated
circuit of sufficient amperage. Note, however,
that the select models may be fitted with
different plug types. Refer to the “OP
Rating/Plug Rating” chart printed on the top of
your UPS.
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 emit a beep to
indicate normal operation. However, power is
not supplied to your UPS’s AC outlets until the
UPS is turned on.
Plug your equipment into your UPS.
Your UPS is designed to support computer
equipment only. You will overload your UPS if
you connect household appliances or laser
printers to the UPS's outlets.
Turn your UPS ON:
• Press the “ON/TEST” Button
• Hold it for several seconds until you
hear a beep
• Release it
Your UPS will begin providing AC power to its outlets.
The “ON LINE” LED will illuminate.
Your UPS will function properly without these
connections.
Phone Line or Phone/Network
Line Surge Suppression
Your UPS has jacks which protect against
surges on a phone or network line.* Using
appropriate network cords connect your wall
jack to the UPS jack marked “IN.” Connect
your equipment to the UPS jack marked
“OUT.” Make sure the equipment you connect

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.

Front Panel Indicator Lights
continued
“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.) or
when it detects a wiring fault in your wall outlet (reversed phases,
missing ground, etc.) The UPS will only detect wiring faults when it
is plugged into a utility outlet but not turned ON. If the light persists
after restarting the UPS, contact an electrician to check the AC line.
Your UPS will identify the presence of most (but not all) wiring faults.
“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 goes 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.

and the UPS alarm will beep every 2 seconds if your UPS’s
microprocessor detects a battery fault or if your UPS fails the
automatic self-test (after you turn your UPS ON) and the UPS battery
is less than fully charged. Let the UPS system charge for at least 12
hours and perform a self test using the “ON/TEST Button”. If the light
continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service.
Accessory Slot: Remove the small cover panel from this slot to use
optional accessories to remotely monitor and control your UPS.

AC Receptacles (Varied by Model): These 15-, 20- and 30-amp
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. The receptacles are divided into
numbered load banks, as labelled on the unit. Using PowerAlert
software and cabling, load banks one and two may 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/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 Installation.

Conexión de Puerto USB y DB9
Con ayuda del cable USB proporcionado ( ),
conecte un puerto USB de una computadora a un
puerto USB del sistema UPS. Instale en la
computadora el software de protección de energía
de Tripp Lite que corresponda al sistema
operativo. Con ayuda del cable DB9 ( )
proporcionado, conecte un puerto DB9 de su
computadora a un puerto DB9 de su sistema UPS.
Instale en la computadora el software de
protección de energía de Tripp Lite que
corresponda al sistema operativo.
Conexión con un puerto EPO
Con el cable RJ11 ( ) proporcionado, conecte
el puerto para desconexión de emergencia (EPO)
del sistema UPS con un interruptor normalmente
abierto o cerrado, proporcionado por el usuario,
de acuerdo con el diagrama siguiente ( ). El
puerto EPO no es un supresor de picos para
línea telefónica, por lo que no deberá
conectarlo con este tipo de líneas.
Conexión del paquete de baterías
externas
Verifique que las baterías externas que desea
conectar tengan el mismo voltaje de la lista que
aparece en el conector para baterías del UPS.
Conecte cualquier extremo del cable de conexión
de batería (proporcionado con el paquete de
baterías) en el conector para baterías externas del
UPS y el otro extremo en el conector de salida de
la batería que se encuentra en el panel posterior
del paquete de baterías externas. Debido a que su
UPS ya posee baterías internas, las baterías
externas son necesarias sólo para prolongar el
tiempo de funcionamiento. Si agrega baterías
externas incrementará el tiempo de recarga así
como el tiempo de respaldo. Asegúrese de que
cada extremo del cable esté completamente
insertado en su conector. Es normal que se
produzcan pequeñas chispas durante la conexión
de las baterías.

Interruptores del panel frontal
Interruptor “ON/TEST” (Encendido/Prueba): Este interruptor
controla cuatro funciones separadas del UPS:
UPS encendido: Para encender el UPS, presione el interruptor,
manténgalo presionado por varios segundos hasta que escuche un
sonido y suéltelo. Se encenderá el LED “ON LINE”.
Autoprueba del UPS: Durante una operación en línea normal,
presione el interruptor y manténgalo presionado hasta que escuche un
sonido. Esto inicia una autoprueba de la batería que dura 10
segundos. El UPS cambiará a energía de baterías (Todos los
indicadores se iluminaran) durante diez segundos.
Silenciar alarma: Para silenciar la alarma del UPS “en batería”,
presione el interruptor y manténgalo presionado hasta que escuche un
sonido.
Encendido en frío del UPS: Para usar su UPS como una fuente de
energía autónoma cuando no haya energía de CA disponible (es decir,
durante un apagón), presione este botón y manténgalo presionado
hasta que escuche un sonido. El UPS suministrará entonces energía de
las baterías a sus tomas de corriente.*
* La luz indicadora “ON BATT” se iluminará cuando su UPS esté operando con
energía de las baterías.
Interruptor “OFF” (Apagado): Este interruptor apaga el suministro
de energía en los receptáculos del UPS. Presione el interruptor,
manténgalo presionado hasta que escuche un sonido y suéltelo. El
UPS seguirá cargando y el ventilador seguirá enfriando los
componentes internos incluso después de haber apagado los
receptáculos del UPS. Para apagar completamente el UPS, incluido el
cargador, desconecte el cable de energía del UPS después de
presionar el interruptor “OFF”.
LED “ON LINE”: Esta luz verde se iluminará y permanecerá fija para
indicar que el UPS está en operación en línea normal (filtrado y
resintetizado del voltaje de la línea de CA entrante para proporcionar
una salida en forma de onda sinusoidal pura). Cuando esta luz está
encendida, puede controlar el nivel de carga del UPS en los LED
“LOAD ACTIVE METER”.
LED “LINE” (Línea): Esta luz verde se iluminará y permanecerá
fija para indicar que el voltaje de la línea de CA proporcionada por el
suministro en su toma de energía es nominal. La luz parpadeará si el
voltaje de la línea se encuentra fuera del valor nominal (ya sea
demasiado bajo o demasiado alto). No necesita hacer nada cuando el
LED parpadea; el UPS filtra de manera continua y automática la
energía de la línea de CA para suministrar a su equipo energía de CA
de onda sinusoidal pura, sin considerar las condiciones de baja o alza
de voltaje. Si esta luz está apagada, quiere decir que no hay voltaje de
línea de CA (apagón) o que hay un voltaje muy alto y que el UPS
proporcionará energía a los equipos conectados desde la batería.

Luces indicadoras del panel frontal
continuación
LED “BYPASS” (Derivación): Esta luz amarilla parpadea para
indicar que el inversor DC/AC del UPS esta desactivado y que el UPS
esta en modo “Bypass”. Durante la operación normal, este indicador
estará iluminado brevemente cuando la unidad sea conectada, pero si
una falla interna o sobrecarga ocurre, esta luz parpadeara
constantemente para mostrar que el equipo conectado recibirá
corriente alterna filtrada, pero no recibirá poder de baterías durante un
apagón. En este caso, contacte a Tripp Lite para servicio.
LED “FAULT” (Falla) (sólo en modelos exclusivos): Esta luz roja
parpadeará cuando su sistema UPS detecte una falla interna
(sobrecalentamiento, sobrevoltajes, etc.) o cuando detecte una falla de
cableado en las tomas de corriente (fases invertidas, ausencia de
tierra, etc.). El UPS detectará fallas de cableado sólo cuando se
encuentre conectado a una toma de energía eléctrica que no esté
encendida. Si la luz sigue encendida después de reiniciar el UPS,
comuníquese con un electricista para revisar la línea de CA. Su UPS
identificará la mayoría (pero no todas) las fallas de cableado.
LED “LOAD ACTIVE METER” (Medidor activo de carga): Esta
luz verde se encenderá cuando su UPS reciba energía de CA para
indicar que el grupo de cuatro luces LED de doble funcionalidad está
indicando el nivel de carga de su UPS.
LED “BATT ACTIVE METER” (Medidor activo de batería):
Esta luz verde se encenderá cuando su UPS funcione en base a la
energía de la batería para indicar que el grupo de cuatro luces LED de
doble funcionalidad está mostrando el nivel de carga de la batería de
su UPS. Nota: también se encenderá el LED “ON BATT”.
LED “OVERLOAD” (Sobrecarga): Esta luz roja se iluminará y
permanecerá fija para indicar que se excedió la capacidad de su UPS
mientras esté funcionando en línea. La alarma del UPS emitirá un sonido
continuo. Retire inmediatamente la sobrecarga hasta que se apague la
luz y la alarma. En caso de no retirar la sobrecarga inmediatamente, el
UPS cambiará de operación en línea a operación de derivación.
LED “BATT LOW” (Batería baja): Esta luz amarilla se encenderá
cuando el nivel de carga de la batería de su UPS esté bajo. La alarma
del UPS emitirá un sonido hasta que la carga de la batería se agote
completamente o se recarguen las baterías de manera adecuada.
LED “ON BATT” (En batería): Esta luz verde se iluminará y
permanecerá fija para indicar que no hay voltaje en la línea de CA y
que su UPS está suministrando energía al equipo a través de la batería.
El UPS emitirá un sonido cada dos segundos a menos que lo silencie
con el interruptor “ON/TEST”. Cuando se prende esta luz, puede
controlar el nivel de carga de la batería del UPS en los LED “BATT
ACTIVE METER”.

Receptáculos de CA (según modelo): Estos receptáculos de 15, 20 y
30 amperios le proporcionan a sus equipos salida de CA de onda
sinusoidal pura desde la línea de CA durante una operación normal y
energía desde las baterías durante apagones y severas bajas de voltaje.
La energía suministrada en estas tomas de corriente se filtra con el
objeto de proteger los equipos conectados contra daños y ruido de
línea. Los receptáculos se dividen en bancos de carga numerados,
como está rotulado en la unidad. Con el uso del software PowerAlert
y el cableado, se pueden encender y apagar individualmente los
bancos de carga uno y dos desde una ubicación remota, lo que le
permite a los usuarios restablecer o reiniciar los equipos conectados.
Vea Conexión de puerto serial en Conexiones opcionales.
Conectores de protección de teléfono/red: Estos conectores
protegen su equipo contra sobretensiones a través de una línea de
teléfono/datos de red. La conexión de su equipo con estos conectores
es opcional. Su UPS funcionará correctamente sin esta conexión.
No compatible con aplicaciones PoE (Energía sobre Ethernet).
Puertos de comunicaciones (USB o RS-232): Estos puertos conectan
su UPS a cualquier estación de trabajo o servidor. Úselos con el
software PowerAlert de Tripp Lite y los cables incluidos para permitir
que su computadora guarde automáticamente los archivos abiertos y
apague el equipo durante una falla del servicio eléctrico. También
utilice PowerAlert para vigilar una amplia variedad de condiciones de
operación de la energía de la línea de CA y del UPS. Consulte su
manual de PowerAlert o contacte con el Soporte al cliente de Tripp
Lite para mayor información. Consulte “Comunicaciones USB y serie
RS-232” en la sección “Instalación opcional” para obtener la
información sobre las instrucciones de instalación.
Las comunicaciones de contacto en seco son simples, pero se necesita
cierto conocimiento de electrónica para configurarlas. Las
asignaciones de las patillas del puerto DB9 se muestran en el
diagrama de la izquierda. Si la batería del UPS está baja, el UPS envía
una señal haciendo puente entre la patilla 1 y la 5. Si el suministro de
energía falla, el UPS manda una señal haciendo puente entre la patilla
8 y la 5. Para apagar el UPS remotamente, ponga en corto los pines
3~9 por 3.8 segundos al menos.
Puerto EPO (apagado de emergencia, Emergency Power-Off): El
sistema UPS cuenta con un puerto EPO mediante el cual se conecta
con un interruptor de cierre por contacto para la activación del paro
de emergencia del inversor. Véase Conexión.
