DANGER!

HIGH VOLTAGE! RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! FOR QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS ONLY! ELECTRICIANS MUST READ WARNINGS BELOW AND IN SAFETY SECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

Before hardwiring, switch OFF the facility's circuit breaker which is supplying power to the circuit the UPS System will be connected to. Using a screwdriv- er, remove the top of the box A covering the UPS System's input terminals. Pass user-supplied cable through the opening in the box B and attach it to the terminals. After hardwiring is complete, switch ON the facility's circuit breaker which is supplying power to the circuit the UPS System is connected to. Note! after the UPS System is connected to a live utility power

2Plug your equipment into the UPS.*

Plug your equipment into the UPS using the addition- al power cord(s) that came with the UPS.

Note: Additional interconnection cords (C13 to C14) are available from Tripp Lite. Call 773-869-1234 (Part # P004-006).

*Your UPS is designed to support only electronic equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA rat- ings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, mul- tiply the number of amps by 240 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 240 = 240 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.

HARDWIRE WARNINGS!

•Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.

•When making wiring connections, observe the cable connection regulations appropriate to your area at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your installation wiring so you may cut off the UPS's AC input during fires and other emergencies. Ensure that cables are fitted with cable sleeves and are secured by connector clamps. Tighten connections with a torque of not less than 10 inch-pounds (1.1 NM).

•Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.

•Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause fire hazards. Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to make wiring connections (Ground conductors must be the same size and type as the power conductors used).

Use the included USB cable (see 1a ) and/or DB9 serial cable (see 1b ) to connect the communication port on your computer to the communication port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer’s operating system. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information.
