Optional Installation

These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
• USB Communications
(Select Models Only)
Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of
your computer to the USB port of your UPS.
Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring
software program appropriate for your operating
system from www.tripplite.com and install it on
your computer.
• RS-232 Serial
Communications
(Select Models Only)
Use the serial cable provided with your UPS to
connect the DB9 port of your computer to the
DB9 port of your UPS. Download the
PowerAlert UPS monitoring software program
appropriate for your operating system from
www.tripplite.com and install it on your computer.
• External Battery Connection
(Select Models Only)
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery
system; external batteries are only needed to
extend runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime. The
illustration shows the location of your UPS's
External Battery Connector, where you will
insert the battery pack cable. Complete
installation instructions for your battery pack
appear in the battery pack's owner's manual.
Make sure that cables are fully inserted into
their connectors. Small sparks may result during
battery connection; this is normal. Do not
connect or disconnect battery packs when the
UPS is running on battery power.
If you connect more than one external battery,
set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the
"EXTERNAL BATTERY" position. This will
increase your UPS's charger output so the
additional batteries charge faster.
CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge
Level Switch
BATTERY" position without an external
battery connected. There is a risk of
damaging the UPS's internal battery system.
