Optional Installation

These connections are optional. Your UPS will function
properly without these connections. Note: SMART3000RM2U
shown in all diagrams.
USB and RS-232 Serial
1
Communications (all models)
Use the included USB cable (see
1b
cable (see ) to connect the communication port on
your computer to the communication port of your
UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite
PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer's
operating system. Your UPS may feature additional
communications ports; these ports may also be connected
to additional computers which have PowerAlert
Software installed. Consult your PowerAlert manual
for more information.
2
EPO Port Connection (all models)
This optional feature is only for those applications
which require connection to a facility's Emergency
Power Off (EPO) circuit. When the UPS is connected
to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the
UPS's inverter.
Using the cable provided, connect the EPO port of
2a
your UPS (see ) to a user-supplied normally closed or
normally open switch according to the circuit diagram
(see 2b ). The EPO port is not a phone line surge sup-
pressor; do not connect a phone line to this port.
3
External Battery Connection
(select models)
All UPS models come with a robust internal battery
system; select models feature connectors that accept
optional external battery packs (sold separately from
Tripp Lite*) to provide additional runtime. Adding
external batteries will increase recharge time as well
as runtime. See battery pack owner's manual for complete
installation instructions. Make sure cables are fully
inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result
during battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect
or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running
on battery power.
* See Specifications section for battery packs available for your specific
UPS model.
