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 optimum performance, maintain an indoor temperature between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C and 40°C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20A maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70 and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• 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
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Quick Installation
1. Plug the UPS into an outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy electrical
load.*
* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second
to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section).
Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.

• To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* If
utility power is absent, pressing the Button will "cold-start" the UPS, i.e. turn it on
and supply power from its batteries.**
• To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* The
UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).
• To run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the
ON/OFF/TEST button for three seconds.
CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/OFF/TEST button
continuously for three seconds; if you release the button too early, you will
turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads. To
ensure you hold the button for the correct length of time, do not release the
button until you hear the UPS System's audible alarm beep twice. The first
beep occurs after one second and indicates that the UPS will turn OFF if the
button is released. The second beep occurs after three seconds and indicates
that the UPS will perform a self-test if the button is released.
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.
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.
*The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. **If fully charged.
"ON/OFF" LED: This green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and
2
supplying 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.
"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.
Storage & Service
Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from
the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be
completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your
UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the
UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one
second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries
discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
