Basic Operation

Telephone/Network Protection Jacks (select models): These jacks
protect your equipment against surges over a telephone or data line.
Your UPS has either jacks which can be used with both phone and
data lines, or jacks which can be used with phone lines only. See
Specifications to determine what kind of jacks your UPS has.
Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will
work properly without this connection.
External Battery Pack Connection (select models): Check to
ensure that the external batteries you are connecting match the voltage
listed on your UPS's battery connector. Plug the battery connection
cable (attached to the battery pack) into the UPS's External Battery
Connector. Since your UPS has internal batteries, external batteries
are only needed to extend runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime. Make sure that the end of
the cable is fully inserted into the UPS connector. Several small
sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal.
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
equipment during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or
consult your power protection software manual for more information.
Battery Replacement Door: 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 Tripp Lite on the Web at
www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific
replacement battery for your UPS.
Power Sensitivity Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counter-
NORM
clockwise, which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection
against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion
occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sine wave
power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is pres-
DELAY
ent. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power
comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform distortion could
cause the UPS to switch to battery too frequently, draining its battery
reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to
battery due to moderate waveform distortion 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 wave-
form. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater
the degree of waveform distortion the UPS will allow to pass to con-
nected 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.
