Basic Connection and Start-Up

Optional Connections

Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
1 Phone Line or Phone/Network Line Surge Suppression
Your UPS has jacks which protect against surges on a phone
line. Select models feature jacks which also protect against
surges on a network line.* Using appropriate telephone or
network cords connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked
"IN." Connect your equipment to the UPS jack marked "OUT."
Make sure the equipment you connect to the UPS's jacks is also
protected against surges on the AC line.
* Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Note: Use the same type of connector for the phone line surge suppression input
and output ports.

USB and RS-232 Serial Communications
Use the included USB cable (see
(see ) to connect the communication port of your computer
2b
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 be connected to
additional computers that have PowerAlert Software installed.
Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information.
Dry contact communications are simple, but some
2c
knowledge of electronics is necessary to configure them. The
DB9 port's pin assignments are shown in the diagram. If the
UPS battery is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1
and 5. If utility power fails, the UPS sends a signal by bridging
pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down remotely, short pin 3 to
pin 9 for at least 60 seconds.
