Basic Operation
Storage & Service
Storage
All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid bat-
tery drain. Unplug your UPS from its AC receptacle, then press and hold its ON/OFF button to
deactivate it. Your UPS is now ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extend-
ed period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by plugging the
UPS into a live AC outlet and letting the UPS charge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS bat-
teries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Service
If returning your UPS for service, contact your local Tripp Lite dealer or distributor. They will
refer you to a service center. Please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING
MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem.
If the UPS is within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.

USB Port: The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation
or server. Using this port, your UPS can communicate line-fail and
low-battery status to your computer. Use with Tripp Lite software and
any USB cable to automatically save open files and shut down equip-
ment during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or con-
sult your power protection software manual for more information.
Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original
battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement
should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to
"Battery Warnings" in the Safety section. Should your UPS require
battery replacement, visit
www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific
replacement battery for your UPS.
Power Sensitivity/Lowline Adjustment (select models only): This dial
is normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect
against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion
occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sinewave power
from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some
areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power comes from
a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distor-
tion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too often, draining its bat-
tery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to
battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts 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
and reduces the voltage point at which it switches to battery. NOTE: The
further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform
distortion and the lower the input voltage 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. The experiment should
last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encoun-
tered.
Automatic Voltage Regulation: During brownouts, your UPS will auto-
matically correct low AC line voltage. When automatic voltage regulation
is operating, your UPS may be heard to click gently. This is a normal,
automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
