Important Safety Instructions
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment
can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to
significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
• Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS system. This
might damage the UPS system and may affect the surge protector 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. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. At the end of the UPS system's life,
follow best practice by discharging the battery prior to disposal. Refer to local codes
for disposal requirements. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS
system is operating on battery power.
• Do not operate the UPS system without batteries.
Battery Replacement Door
• Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS system will last several years.
Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to
the Battery Warnings section. Should your UPS system require battery replacement,
visit Tripp Lite at http://www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific
replacement battery for your UPS system.
Quick Installation
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.
1 Plug the UPS system into an outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy
electrical load, such as an air conditioner or refrigerator.
2 Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second to power on the UPS system.
The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed.
Note: the UPS system will only power on, even if connected to live utility power, using the ON/
OFF/TEST button.
3 Plug your equipment into the UPS system's outlets. Select outlets (see Basic
Operation section) provide surge protection and battery backup. Essential equipment
that also requires battery support during power failures, such as a computer and
monitor, should be plugged into these outlets. Nonessential devices, such as a
printer, should be plugged into other outlets that provide surge protection only.
Note: your UPS system is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the
UPS system if the total VA rating for all equipment connected to the battery backup outlets
exceeds the UPS system's output capacity. Look at the equipment's nameplates to find their VA
ratings. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine
VA (for example, 1 amp x 120 = 120VA). If you are unsure you have overloaded the battery
backup outlets, use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a self-test.
