Basic Operation

Power Sensitivity Adjustment: this dial is normally set fully counter-clockwise,
which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection against waveform distortions
in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to
providing sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the
distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power
comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS
to switch to battery too frequently, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to
reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to moderate waveform distortion
by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise,
the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power's AC waveform.
NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform
distortion the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting
with different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode
so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS's output
can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.
External Battery Connector (optional): use to connect Tripp Lite external battery
packs for additional runtime. Refer to instructions available with the battery pack for
complete connection information and safety warnings.
Input Breaker: protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw from the UPS
load. If this breaker trips, reduce the load, then reset by pressing the breaker in.
Output Breaker: your UPS features an output breaker that protects your UPS from
output overload. If this breaker trips, remove some of the load on the circuit, then
reset by pressing the breaker in.
Ground Screw: use this to connect any equipment that requires a chassis ground.
