Power Sensitivity/Lowline Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sinewave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power comes from a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform and reduces the voltage point at which it switches to battery.

NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion and the lower the input voltage the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting with different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS's output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encountered.

Storage & Service

Storage

All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery drain. Unplug your UPS from its AC receptacle, then press and hold its ON/OFF button to deactivate it. Your UPS is now ready for storage. If you plan on storing 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 and letting the UPS charge for 4 to 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 for service, contact your local Tripp Lite dealer or distributor. They will refer you to a service center. 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 warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.

INTERNETOFFICE700, BCINTERNET550, BCINTERNET500, INTERNETOFFICE500, BCPERS450 specifications

Tripp Lite offers a comprehensive range of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) designed to protect critical electronic equipment from power outages and fluctuations. Among their notable models are the INTERNETOFFICE500, BCINTERNET500, BCPERS450, BCINTERNET550, and INTERNETOFFICE700, each tailored to meet specific power needs in various settings from home offices to larger business environments.

The INTERNETOFFICE500 is a reliable UPS designed to provide battery backup and surge protection for home office devices. With a capacity of 500VA/300W, it features six NEMA 5-15R outlets, allowing multiple devices to be connected. It also incorporates a USB port for charging mobile devices and offers data line protection for dial-up, DSL, or broadband connections. Its compact design makes it easy to fit in tight spaces while ensuring that electronics remain powered during outages.

The BCINTERNET500 model mirrors many of the features of the INTERNETOFFICE500 but adds a few enhancements for business use. Like its counterpart, it provides 500VA/300W capacity and surge protection, but it also includes a built-in LCD display that provides essential information on battery status, load capacity, and more. This feature is valuable for monitoring performance and ensuring optimal operation of connected devices.

The BCPERS450 is designed for personal use, providing an ideal balance of features and compactness. It offers 450VA/250W capacity and a combination of battery backup and surge protection tailored for computers and essential home office equipment. This model is particularly advantageous for users who require reliable power for their personal computers without the need for extensive additional features.

The BCINTERNET550 enhances protection capabilities with a slightly higher capacity of 550VA/330W. It also comes with eight outlets, allowing businesses to connect more devices. Additionally, this model features both USB and RS-232 connectivity, enabling users to connect and manage the UPS efficiently through their computers.

Lastly, the INTERNETOFFICE700 provides a robust 700VA/400W capacity essential for larger setups. This model is equipped with ten outlets for extensive connectivity and features automatic voltage regulation to correct minor voltage fluctuations without switching to battery power. The INTERNETOFFICE700 also offers advanced management software that allows users to monitor power conditions and battery status through their computers.

Each model in this lineup emphasizes reliability, efficiency, and user-friendliness, making them suitable for a wide range of applications from personal use to commercial environments. Tripp Lite is committed to providing top-notch protection, ensuring that critical equipment remains operational during power disturbances.
