Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings will void
your warranty.
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.
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
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside.
• 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 or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or
1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. 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.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.
Quick Installation
1. Plug the UPS into an outlet that doesn't share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*
* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.
NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will turn ON automatically. See
"ON/OFF/TEST" Button description in the Basic Operation section if you want to place the
UPS in any mode other than ON.
2. Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup
and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets
(see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other non-essential devices here.
* Your UPS is designed to only support computer equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you
connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity (see Specifications). To find your
equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA.
(Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a
self-test (see "ON/OFF/TEST" Button description).
Basic Operation
1
"ON/OFF/TEST" Button
• To turn the UPS ON: if utility power is present, the UPS will turn ON automatically. If utility
power is absent, you can "cold-start" the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power from its batteries*)
by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second.**
• To turn the UPS OFF: first, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet; then press and hold the
ON/OFF/TEST button for one second.** The UPS will be completely "OFF" (deactivated).
• To place the UPS in "Charge-Only" Mode: this mode enables battery charging, but disables
battery backup. WARNING: when the UPS is in this mode, it will not provide battery backup
during a blackout or brownout. This mode is only recommended for use in areas that experience
frequent blackout/brownout conditions and when connected equipment is not in use. Press and
hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for four seconds to place the UPS in this mode.** Press and
hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second** to take the UPS out of this mode.
• To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the
ON/OFF/TEST button for one second.** The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the
UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS
alarm will sound. See LED descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test. Note:
you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will not perform
a self-test if you have placed it in "Charge-Only" mode.
CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical
grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.
* If fully charged. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed and will beep continuously after four seconds have
passed (which signals transition to the "Charge-Only" Mode).
"ON/OFF" LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and sup-
2
plying your equipment with AC power either from a utility source or from the UPS's internal
batteries. If the UPS's alarm is sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause), the UPS is operating
from its internal batteries. The LED flashes to remind you that you have used the
ON/OFF/TEST button to place the UPS in "Charge-Only" mode.
"OVERLOAD/CHECK BATTERY" LED: this red LED lights continuously after a self-test to
3
indicate the capacity of the battery-supported outlets has been exceeded. To clear the overload,
unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supported outlets; then use the ON/OFF/TEST
button to run a Self-Test. If the UPS continues to detect an overload, remove more equipment
and repeat the self test until successful. CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the
user immediately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying
output power in the event of a blackout or brownout. The LED flashes to indicate the battery
needs to be recharged or replaced. If the LED flashes (and a continuous alarm sounds) during a
prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save
files and shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED flashes following a UPS self-test
(after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. Allow the
UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self Test.
If the LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS require battery
replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to
locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge
4
protection. Plug your computer, monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE:
DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.
Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery backup.
5
Plug equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine) that does not require battery backup
during a utility power failure into these outlets.
USB Communication Port (side panel, not shown): connects to your computer for automatic
6
unattended shutdown. Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of your computer to the USB
port of your UPS. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work
properly without this connection. Install the PowerAlert UPS monitoring software program
appropriate for your operating system.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks: stop surges on the phone or fax line. Built in splitter (one jack in and two
7
jacks out) allow you to simultaneously connect two devices sharing a single line. Connecting
your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
Battery Replacement Door (bottom panel, not shown): Under normal conditions, the original
8
battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by
qualified service personnel. Refer to "Battery Warnings" in the Safety Section. Should your UPS
require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm
to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Storage & Service
Storage
All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery
drain. Unplug the UPS from the wall outlet; then press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one
second. The UPS will be completely "OFF" (deactivated). Your UPS is now ready for storage. If
you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once
every three months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet and letting the UPS charge for 4 to 6
hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a
permanent loss of capacity.
Service
Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps: 1. Review the installation and operation
instructions in this manual to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading
of the instructions. 2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer.
Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service technician will ask for the UPS's model
number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone. 3.
If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization
(RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the technician can arrange
to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use
Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential)
to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not
covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service
