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.

“ON/TEST” Switch: This switch controls four separate UPS functions:

 

ON/TEST

 

UPS Power On

 

 

To turn power on at the outlets, press the “ON/TEST” switch,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hold it for several seconds until you hear a beep, then release it.

 

 

 

 

UPS Self-Test

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the UPS is in normal operation (the “VOLTAGE OK”

 

 

 

 

LED is on and the “ON BATTERY” LED is off), press the

 

 

 

 

“ON/TEST” switch and hold it until you hear a beep. This initiates

 

 

 

 

a 10-second self-test of the battery. The UPS will shift to battery

 

 

 

 

power (the “ON BATTERY” LED will illuminate) for ten seconds.

 

 

 

 

Alarm Silence

 

 

 

 

To silence the UPS “on-battery” alarm, press the “ON/TEST”

 

 

 

 

switch and hold it until you hear a beep.

 

 

 

 

UPS Cold Start

 

 

 

 

To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC power

 

 

 

 

is unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), press the “ON/TEST”

 

 

 

 

switch and hold it until you hear a beep. The UPS will then provide

 

 

 

 

battery power to its outlets. The “ON BATTERY” LED will be illu-

 

 

 

 

minated since your UPS will be operating from battery power.

 

ON/TEST

 

 

“OFF” Switch: This switch turns power off at the outlets. Press this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

switch, hold it until you hear a beep, then release it. The UPS will

 

OFF

 

 

continue charging its batteries and the fan will continue to cool internal

 

 

 

components even after you turn the UPS receptacles off. To turn the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPS OFF completely, including the charger, disconnect the UPS’s

 

 

 

 

power cord after pressing the “OFF” switch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Front Panel Indicator Lights

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRIMMING

“NORMAL” LED: This green light will be lit when the UPS is providing

 

AC utility power to connected equipment without needing to alter its

NORMAL

voltage.

BOOSTING

 

 

“TRIMMING” LED: This yellow light be lit when the UPS is trimming

 

 

AC utility power to nominal levels and providing it to connected

TRIMMING

equipment. The UPS will click faintly when trimming AC power.

This is a normal, automatic function of your UPS and no action is

 

 

required on your part. If your UPS has to trim power frequently, you

NORMAL

may be in a poor power area, and should consider obtaining power

 

 

protection for equipment that is not connected to a UPS.
