Quick Installation - Tripp Lite SMX Series Owner's Manual

Quick Installation

The UPS battery must charge for 24 hours before use.
1 Plug your UPS into a 3-wire grounded,
230V AC 50/60 Hz utility outlet.
After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will
automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power
to its outlets until it is turned ON (see Step 3 below). The
BATTERY CHARGE LED will be the only LED illuminated.
2 Plug your equipment into the UPS.*
* You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the
equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity (see
Specifications). To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their
nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number
of amps by 230 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 230 V = 230
VA). If you are unsure you have overloaded the UPS's outlets, see
"OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL " LED description.
Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however,
maximum runtime for the unit's battery will only be accessible after it
has been charged for 24 hours.
3 Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the "POWER" button for one second. The
alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed.
Release the button.
The following connections are optional; your UPS will function properly without these
connections:
1 Serial Communications
(select models only)
You can connect the DB9 serial port on the UPS to the DB9
port of a computer with the included cable. Use with
Tripp Lite's PowerAlert
and safe shutdown in case of power failure. (See Basic
Operation Section.)
2 USB Communications
Connect the USB port of your UPS to the USB port of a
computer with the included cable. Use with Tripp Lite's
PowerAlert software for automatic file saves and safe
shutdown in case of power failure. (See Basic Operation
Section.)
