Quick Installation
STEP 1: Plug the UPS into
a properly grounded outlet.
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, press and hold the power button
for one second
to turn on the UPS (See Basic Operation).
Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.
STEP 2: Plug your equipment into the UPS.
There are two sets of outlets on the back of your UPS. Outlets marked SURGE PROTECTED do
not provide battery backup power during power outages. Connect common desktop items like
printers, scanners and other accessories not requiring battery support to these outlets. Outlets
marked BATTERY & SURGE offer UPS battery backup support during power failures. Connect
your vital computer equipment into these outlets.
Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if
the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to the BATTERY/SURGE
PROTECTED outlets exceed the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look
on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by
120 to determine VA. For example: 1A × 120 = 120VA. If you suspect you have overloaded
the outlets, check Load Meter screens (see Display UPS/Power Conditions in Basic
Operation).
Optional Installation
All models include USB communication ports and tel/DSL/Ethernet surge protection jacks
(not compatible with PoE applications). These connections are optional, as the UPS will work
properly without these connections.
If the on-line AC power icon
does not illuminate when the UPS is turned ON, try the
following:
1. Make sure that the UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet.
2. Press and hold the power button
for one second to turn on the UPS. A beep should
sound when the UPS starts.
3. If the UPS still does not start, contact Tripp Lite Tech Support for assistance.
