Basic Operation

Switches

System Enable Switch (DIP Switch #4)

This switch is on the back panel in the set of 4 switches next to the UPS’s DB9 ports. It activates the battery charger and intelligent microprocessor. Always leave it in the “ENABLE” (UP) position when your UPS is plugged in. Set the switch to “DISABLE” (DOWN) only if you store or ship your UPS (to reduce battery drain).

Note: the “” light will flash until you engage the ON/Standby Switch to activate the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles).

ON/Standby Switch

This momentary switch on the front panel controls power to the UPS receptacles. Engage it momentarily and release it to toggle between the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles) and “Standby” mode (power OFF at the UPS receptacles).

Mute/Test Switch

Use this momentary switch on the front panel to do two things:

Silence the UPS On Battery alarm

Engage this switch and release it to silence the UPS On Battery alarm, a series of short beeps that sounds intermittantly when the UPS is providing AC power from battery. Note: when the battery is nearly depleted, the Low Battery alarm, a continuous beep that cannot be silenced, will alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.

Test your UPS’s battery charge

Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in and completely turned ON, engage this switch; hold it there for 5 seconds and release it. You will hear a series of short beeps as the UPS momentarily switches to battery to test its charge. The “” light will turn ON and the alarm (a long, continuous beep) will sound if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the UPS battery is less than fully charged. If this occurs, let the UPS charge for 12 hours and perform a second self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.

Indicator Lights

Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.

This green light will shine constantly to indicate AC power is available at the receptacles. It will flash to indicate AC power is not available. (See “System Enable Switch” and “On/Standby Switch” descriptions above.)

This multi-colored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, your UPS is operating from line power, and the battery is charging. If the light is flashing, your UPS is operating from battery power, and the battery is discharging. When the light flashes red, close any files you are working on and shut down your computer.

INT 3000, INT 2200, XL INT 2200, XL INT 3000 specifications

Tripp Lite is renowned for producing reliable power protection solutions, and its line of Intelligent Rackmount UPS systems, including the XL INT 2200 and INT 3000, stands out in the market for their advanced features and robust performance. These models are designed to cater to the needs of various IT environments, ensuring the safety and sustainability of critical equipment.

The Tripp Lite XL INT 2200 offers a powerful 2200VA/1980W capacity, making it ideal for small to medium-sized servers, networking equipment, and other essential devices. One of its notable features is the line-interactive topology, which provides excellent voltage regulation without switching to battery power unless necessary. This results in enhanced efficiency and extended battery life. The XL INT 2200 also incorporates an automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature, allowing it to correct minor fluctuations in utility power, which keeps connected devices safe and operational without depleting the battery.

On the other hand, the INT 3000 boasts a higher capacity of 3000VA/2700W, making it suitable for larger systems or multiple devices. Similar to its counterpart, the INT 3000 uses line-interactive technology but is optimized for heavier loads, ensuring that even the most demanding equipment remains powered during an outage. The model is equipped with enhanced communication options including USB, serial, and slots for optional SNMP/Web cards, allowing for easy integration into existing network management systems.

Both models are equipped with advanced LED status indicators that provide real-time information on the unit's battery status, load level, and operational conditions, simplifying monitoring and diagnostic processes. Additionally, they feature customizable alarm settings, ensuring that users are promptly alerted to any critical situations.

The build quality is robust, with a 2U rackmount form factor that allows for easy installation in standard server racks. Additionally, these UPS systems come with a built-in energy-saving mode, helping to reduce overall power consumption and operational costs.

In summary, the Tripp Lite XL INT 2200 and INT 3000 offer key features such as line-interactive topology, AVR technology, multiple communication options, and robust build quality. These characteristics make them an excellent choice for safeguarding valuable electronic equipment in data centers, network operations, and other critical applications where reliable power is essential. With Tripp Lite, users can trust that their systems are well-protected against power irregularities, ensuring uninterrupted performance and longevity.
