Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

•Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.

•For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.

UPS Connection Warnings

•Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.

•Do not modify the UPS's plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s ground connection.

•Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.

•If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life-support applications in which a malfunction or failure of an Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life-support device.

•Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

•Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Do not open the UPS except to perform battery replacement. Do not open batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/ battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Quick Installation

1With the UPS disconnected from utility power, use a small tool to set the Voltage Dip Switch to match your input voltage. (All models are preset to the 120V setting.)

2Plug the UPS into an outlet on a dedicated circuit.

NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries,* but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON.

* The BATTERY CHARGE LED will be the only LED illuminated

3Plug your equipment into the UPS.

Select outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection; plug computers, monitors and other critical devices into these outlets.* Select outlets provide surge protection only; plug printers and other non-essential devices into these outlets. Do not plug high-draw equipment into the battery backup/surge protection outlets.

*Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA rating for all equipment connected through the battery backup/surge protection outlets exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS's outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.

4Turn the UPS ON.

Press and hold the “STANDBY” button for one second. The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. Release the button.
