Important Safety Instructions

Quick Installation

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. Your warranty will be voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS to an 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 appliances in which a malfunction or failure of a 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

Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason

 

except battery replacement. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. Because the

 

batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current,

 

observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery

 

replacement. Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the

 

same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries.

 

Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in

 

the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD for recycling information. Do not dispose of the

 

batteries in a fire.

Only connect Tripp Lite battery packs of the appropriate type and correct voltage to the

 

external battery connector.

Do not connect or disconnect external batteries while the UPS is operating from battery.

Do not attempt to connect external batteries to models without an external battery connector.

1Connect your UPS to

an electrical outlet.

Your UPS will run a self-test after it is plugged in. See Basic Operation to understand the results of its self-test.

2Plug your computer, monitor and external modem into UPS/Surge outlets. Plug other equipment into

Surge-only outlet(s).

Separate UPS/Surge and Surge-only outlet(s) are identified on the back of your UPS. Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You will overload your UPS if you connect high power draw equipment such as household appliances, laser printers or surge suppressors to its UPS/Surge outlets.

3Select UPS Operating Mode.*

Press the ON/OFF button to toggle your UPS between the UPS (“” LED lit) and the CHARGE ONLY (“” LED flashing) modes. Choose the operating mode based on your location:

USA, Canada & Western Europe:

• Leave the UPS in the UPS mode at all times.

All Other Countries:

• Put the UPS in the CHARGE ONLY

mode when you are not using connected

equipment.

(WARNING! When set to “CHARGE ONLY,” the UPS

will not provide battery backup during a blackout or

brownout)

Put the UPS in the UPS mode when you are using connected equipment.

*See Basic Operation section for a complete explanation of each mode.
