Basic Operation
5
OVERLOAD: This red LED will illuminate continuously to indicate that the UPS is overloaded, either
when the UPS is providing power from battery or after a UPS self-test. If it illuminates, immediately
disconnect some equipment from the battery backup protected outlets and run a self-test. Note: A large
overload may cause the UPS to shut down.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately following a self-test may
cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.
6
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.
7
USB/RJ45 Communication Port: This port connects your UPS to a computer for automatic file saves
and unattended shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and
the included USB/RJ45 cable. A PowerAlert CD may be included with your UPS; if so, insert the CD
into the CD tray of your computer and follow the installation instructions. If PowerAlert Software did not
come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the Web at www.tripplite.com. Note: This
connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
CAUTION! The USB/RJ45 port is not a phone or network port; do not connect a phone or network
line to this port.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks: These jacks stop surges on a phone or fax line. Using telephone (RJ11)
8
cables, 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 tel/DSL jacks is also protected against
surges on the AC line. Note: Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work
properly without this connection.
9
Resettable Circuit Breaker: Protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw from the UPS load. If
this breaker trips, remove some of the load, then reset it by pressing it in.
Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge protection.
10
Plug your computer, monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG
LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.
11
Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery backup. Plug
equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine) that does not require battery backup during a utility
power failure into these outlets.
12
Building Wiring Fault Indicator: This red LED illuminates if improper building wiring is detected
(usually an open ground connection). If a wiring fault is detected, have the building wiring checked by a
qualified electrician to assure the safety of all connected equipment.
13
AC Input Plug: Insert the plug into a compatible outlet to provide AC power for the UPS system and
connected equipment.
Storage and Service
Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press
and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and
will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS
batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the
ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 8 to 12 hours. If you leave your
UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Service
Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps: 1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this
manual to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. 2. If the problem
continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service
technician will ask for the UPS's model number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the
problem over the phone. 3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material
Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to
send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for
packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS incurred during shipment to
Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite
or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the
outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
Return the UPS for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.
