Equipment Connection Warnings • Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems in life support applications in which a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life support device.
Control Panel There are two separate UPS system modules: a power module and a battery module. Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the features on each module before installing and operating your UPS system. The power module is the only module which includes front panel features.
4. External Battery Connector: Use this to connect a Tripp Lite battery module to the power module. Remove the cover for access. The power module will not start without a connection to a charged battery module. Refer to the battery module owner 's manual for connection instructions and safety warnings.
Rear Panels (continued) 10. “Battery Start” Switch: This momentary rocker switch allows you to “cold-start” your UPS and use it as a stand-alone power source when utility-supplied AC power is not present. The switch enables the UPS’s DC/AC Inverter. Before “cold-starting” your UPS, make sure your power module and external battery module(s) are properly installed.
Installation (continued) Operational Mode Selection (DIP Switch #4) The "On-Line" Mode provides on-line operation with zero transfer time. The "Economy" Mode provides line-interactive operation for increased efficiency when on-line protection is unnecessary, thus reducing operating costs without affecting your UPS's output reliability during a power outage.

Operation (Normal Conditions) TURNING THE UPS ON • Make sure the UPS is properly installed (see Installation section) and the Manual Bypass Key is set to NORMAL. • Turn the AC Input and Bypass AC Input Circuit Breakers ON. • If your AC input is providing power normally within your selected range (see Input Voltage Selection, and Specifications), your connected load will energize.
Operation (Normal Conditions) SELF-TESTING When you turn the UPS ON, it will perform a brief (about 25 second) self-test. See figure below for display sequence.* *Note: If starting from battery, the BATTERY LED will be lit and the I/P and BYPASS LEDs will not. The final LCD display in the diagram below appears when the UPS is operating normally under utility-supplied AC input power.
Operation (Normal Conditions) LCD DISPLAY SELECT SWITCH Momentarily press the “SELECT” switch on the front panel to browse through different power readings on the LCD Display.

Operation (Special Conditions) OPERATION ON OVERLOAD When the UPS detects an output overload, it will commence a countdown (the length of time depending on the severity of the overload). If the UPS is still overloaded at the end of the countdown, the UPS will automatically shut down and go into Bypass Mode. Overload Condition LCD Display Message 102% - 125%...
RS-232 INTERFACE This female DB9 port connects your UPS via an RS-232 cable to a workstation or server equipped with Tripp Lite software. The port uses RS-232 communications to report UPS status and power conditions. Using this port, Tripp Lite software can monitor and manage network power and automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout.
Communications AS-400 INTERFACE This female DB9 port connects your UPS to an IBM AS-400 computer via the included AS-400 cable. The port uses AS-400 communications to report UPS status. It can be used to allow an AS-400 to automatically save open files and shut down its operat- ing system during a blackout.
