Optional Installation
These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
Basic Operation
Front Panel Switches
1USB and RS-232 Serial Communications
Use the included USB cable 1a and/or DB9 serial cable 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.
2External Battery Connection (select models)
All UPS models come with a robust internal battery system; select models feature connectors that accept optional external battery packs (sold separately from Tripp Lite*) to provide additional runtime. Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as well as runtime. See battery pack owner’s manual for complete installation instructions. Make sure cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running on battery power.
*See Specifications section for battery packs available for your specific UPS model.
