Optional Connection

The following connections are optional. The UPS system will function properly without these connections.

1USB and Serial Communication Connection

Use the included USB cable 1a and/or RS-232 DB9 serial cable 1b to connect the communication port of a computer to the communication port of the UPS. Install the PowerAlert Software appropriate for the computer’s operating system. Consult the PowerAlert manual for more information.

Dry Contact Note: Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port's pin assignments are shown in diagram 1c . If the UPS battery is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1 and 5. If utility power fails, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down remotely, short pin 3 and pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds.

2EPO Port Connection

This optional feature is only for those applications that require connection to a facility's Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When the power module is connected to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the UPS system’s output. Using the included cable 2a , connect the EPO port to a user-supplied normally open switch. The pin assignment for the EPO port is shown in diagram 2b . The EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor; do not connect a phone line to this port.

3Additional Battery Pack Connection

The UPS system includes one external battery pack. Additional external battery packs are not required to operate the UPS system, but they will provide additional battery backup runtime for connected equipment.

Connect multiple battery packs by daisy-chaining the second to the first, daisy-chaining the third to the second and so on. Note: When daisy-chaining multiple battery packs, they should be identical models of similar age and level of wear. Make sure that cables are inserted fully into connectors. Small sparks may occur during battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is operating from battery power. Multiple battery packs provide longer runtimes, but also require longer recharge times.

Additional Battery Pack Connection Procedure

3a (1) Remove the retention bracket from one of the first battery pack’s rear panel connectors. (The other connector will already be attached to the power module or another battery pack.) (2) Insert one end of the detachable power cable into each battery pack, making sure to insert the cable connectors into the battery pack connectors fully. (3) Attach the retention brackets to the right of each connector, using the screw holes set to the right of the original bracket position. Warning: Always use the connector retention brackets to secure the battery pack connections. Do not attempt to operate the UPS system without the connector retention brackets in place.

3b If two or more external battery packs (including the external battery pack that is included with the UPS system) are connected to the UPS system, move the Battery Charge Level Switch from the default position (labeled “NORMAL”) to the right-hand position (labeled “HIGH”). Warning: Setting the Battery Charge Level Switch to “HIGH” with only one external battery pack connected to the UPS system may damage the external battery pack.

4Internal SNMP/WEB Card Insertion

Remove the slot's cover to install an optional internal SNMP/Web accessory card (Model: SNMPWEBCARD) to enable remote UPS monitoring and control via SNMP, Web or telnet. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234 for more information, including a list of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.
