3b) "BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's internal battery. During a blackout or
severe brownout, the UPS will switch to battery power, the "ON BAT" icon will be illuminated, and the charge level will deplete.
3c) "AVR" (Automatic Voltage Regulation) Icon: This icon will illuminate whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC line voltage without deplet-
ing battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.3d) "REPLACE" (Battery Recharge/Replace)
Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the UPS battery needs to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge
continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to illuminate, contact Tripp Lite for service. Battery replacement should only be per-
formed by qualified service personnel. If the UPS requires battery replacement, Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
3e) "ON BAT" (On Battery) Icon: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon illuminates and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the
UPS is operating from its internal batteries. Monitor the "Battery Capacity" Meter to determine the approximate battery charge level available to support equipment.
During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound continuously (and the "BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter will show one 20% capacity segment shaded)
to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
3f) "FAULT" Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some
of your equipment from the outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the icon is no longer illuminated and the alarm is no longer sounding.

AC Outlets: All outlets provide connected equipment with AC
line power (backed by surge protection and line noise filtering)
during normal operation. Automatic voltage regulation contin-
ually corrects brownout (low voltage) and high voltage condi-
tions without using battery power. All outlets provide battery
power during blackouts and severe brownout or severe high
voltage conditions. DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO
ANY OF THE OUTLETS.
USB and RS-232 Communication Ports: These ports can con-
5.
nect your UPS to any computer for automatic file saves and
unattended shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with
Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software (available as a FREE down-
load at www.tripplite.com) and appropriate USB or DB9 cable.
A USB or DB9 cable may be included with your UPS. If the
appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, any user-sup-
plied DB9 pass-through or USB cable may then be used to con-
nect your UPS to your computer. Note: This connection is
optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
Also Note: This UPS System provides basic communication
compatibility with most integrated Windows

Linux
power management applications.

Tel/DSL/Network Line Surge Protection Jacks: Your UPS has jacks that protect against surges on a single phone, fax, modem or Ethernet 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. Connecting your equipment to these jacks
is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Coaxial Protection Jacks: Gold coaxial connectors protect components by stopping surges on DSS satellite, cable or antenna lines. Connect a coaxial cable
7.
from the wall jack directly to the coaxial jack labeled "IN." Connect a coaxial cable from the coaxial jack labeled "OUT" directly to the device to be pro-
tected. The UPS system must always be the first item connected in line from the coaxial wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a 3-wire ground-
ed AC outlet for coaxial line surge protection to work. Make sure cables connected to satellite dishes, antennas, etc. are also grounded.
8.
Removable Mounting Hardware: Adapts the UPS to either tower or rackmount (2U) applications.
Power Sensitivity Dial: This dial is normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When
9.
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
distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too often, draining its battery 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 toler-
ant of variations in its input power's AC waveform. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion 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 encountered.
Fan (internal; not shown): The fan cools the internal components of the UPS. It operates only when the UPS is in battery backup mode, is charging its batteries
or is carrying a heavy electrical load.
Battery Replacement: Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qual-
ified service personnel. During battery replacement, qualified service personnel should refer to "Battery Warnings" in the Safety section. Tripp Lite offers a com-
plete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
