1.4 Physical Features
NOTE The Tripp Lite Series UPS system is designed to support electronic equipment only. You
will overload the UPS if the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to
the outlets exceeds the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look
at its nameplate. If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by
120 to determine VA. For example 1A × 120 = 120VA. If you suspect you have
overloaded the outlets, remove some equipment.

NOTE The UPS does not automatically detect the input frequency when starting on the
battery. The default frequency for 120V models is 60 Hz.
NOTE The default setting for the Line Mode alarm tone is enabled.
