Other UPS Features

AC Receptacles

All receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and protect your equipment against damaging surges and line noise. In addition, battery- supported receptacles (identified on the back of your UPS) will supply battery power during blackouts and brownouts.

RJ11 Telephone Jacks

These jacks protect your equipment against telephone line surges. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will still work properly without this connection.

DB9 Port (Available on select models)

The DB9 port connects your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite software and cabling to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. This port sends contact-closure signals to indicate line-fail and low- battery status. It also receives a shut down signal from the connected computer to conserve the UPS battery charge. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information.

Battery Replacement Door (Available on select models)

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 on page 2.

Storage

First turn your UPS OFF and disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet. Then disconnect all equipment to avoid battery drain. If you plan to store your UPS for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet, turning the Power Switch ON and letting the UPS charge for 4-6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

If returning your UPS to Tripp Lite, please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem. If the UPS is within the 2 year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
