USB Port: The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation or server. Using this port, your UPS can communicate line-fail and low-battery status to your computer. Use with Tripp Lite software and any USB cable to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. See PowerAlert manual.

DB9 Port (Select Models Only): The DB9 port connects your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert UPS monitoring software and a DB9 cable to enable your computer to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. The UPS can also report power availability and UPS status, and select UPS models have other capabilities. See PowerAlert manual.

Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section on page 2.

External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): Use to connect battery pack(s) for additional runtime. Refer to Specifications and/or the label next to the connector to determine the appropriate variety of battery pack to use. Refer to the battery pack instruction manual for complete installation information and important safety warnings.

Input Breaker: Prevents high input current from damaging the UPS or the attached load. If this breaker trips, make sure your UPS is connected to nominal 120V AC power before resetting the circuit breaker by pushing the breaker switch in to reset.

Charge Level Switch: This switch should be set to the left unless you have connected multiple external batteries, in which case you may set it to EXTERNAL BATTERY, increasing your charger’s output so the additional batteries recharge faster.

Power Sensitivity Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counter- clockwise, 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 sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too frequently, draining its battery reserves.You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion 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. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion 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.

Power Suppy specifications

Tripp Lite is a renowned manufacturer of power protection and connectivity solutions, recognized especially for its high-quality power supplies. Their power supplies are designed to meet the needs of both consumers and businesses, ensuring stable and reliable power delivery.

One of the main features of Tripp Lite power supplies is their high efficiency. Many models are designed to meet or exceed the 80 PLUS certification, ensuring that they convert more than 80% of the incoming power into usable output while producing less heat. This efficiency not only helps in reducing energy costs but also contributes to a longer lifespan for the devices connected to the power supply.

Another significant characteristic is the protection mechanisms incorporated into Tripp Lite power supplies. They typically come equipped with features like overload protection, short circuit protection, and surge protection. This guarantees that both the power supply and connected devices are safeguarded against unexpected power surges, voltage spikes, and other electrical anomalies.

Tripp Lite also emphasizes versatility in its power supply offerings. Many models come with modular designs, enabling users to customize cable management according to their specific needs. Modular power supplies allow users to connect only the cables they require, promoting better airflow within the case, and making installations cleaner and more efficient.

Moreover, Tripp Lite power supplies are known for their robust build quality. They are often constructed with durable materials and include features such as silent operation and efficient cooling systems with strategically placed fans. This ensures that the power supply operates quietly while maintaining optimal temperatures during heavy loads.

In terms of technology, Tripp Lite incorporates advanced power management systems in their supplies. This includes features like Active PFC (Power Factor Correction), which enhances power efficiency, reduces energy costs, and ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices.

Finally, Tripp Lite offers a comprehensive warranty on its power supplies, reflecting the company's confidence in the reliability and performance of its products. This level of assurance provides peace of mind for consumers and businesses alike in choosing Tripp Lite as their power supply provider.

In summary, Tripp Lite power supplies are characterized by their high efficiency, robust protection mechanisms, modular designs, and advanced technologies, making them a popular choice for users who prioritize reliability and performance in their power solutions.
