Important Safety Instructions
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 may affect 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.
- Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the installation, in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
- 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.
- The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.
- If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
- Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
- Do not connect surge protectors 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
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-
circuit current. Observe proper precautions. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the UPS. Do not open the UPS except to perform battery
replacement. Do not open batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery
terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing
battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Battery replacement
should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number
and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not dispose of the batteries in a
fire. The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements or visit
tripplite.com/support/recycling-program
for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System
Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at
tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm
to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
Quick Installation
-
With the UPS disconnected from utility power, use a small tool to set the Voltage Dip Switch to match your input voltage. (All models are preset to the 120V setting.)
-
Plug the UPS into an outlet on a dedicated circuit.
NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries,* but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON -
Plug your equipment into the UPS.
All outlets provide battery backup and surge protection for computers, monitors and other critical devices. Do not plug high-draw equipment such as laser printers into the battery backup/ surge protection outlets.
Note: Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA rating for all equipment connected through the battery backup/surge protection outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA.
(Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description. -
Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the “STANDBY” button for one second. The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. Release the button.
Optional Installation
-
USB 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. -
Telephone/Network Protection Jacks
Your UPS has jacks that protect against surges over a telephone line or a network dataline. Using telephone network data cables, connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked “IN.” Connect your equipment to the UPS jack marked “OUT.” Make sure the equipment you connect to the UPS’s jacks is also protected against surges on the AC line. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Basic Operation
Buttons
“STANDBY” Button
- To turn the UPS ON: with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet, press and hold the STANDBY button for about one second. Release the button. If utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power for a limited time from its batteries) by pressing and holding the STANDBY button for about two seconds.**
- To turn the UPS OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and hold the STANDBY button for one second.** Then unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.
- After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.
“MUTE/TEST” Button
-
To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the MUTE/TEST button.*
Note : continuous alarms (warning you to immediately shut down connected equipment) cannot be silenced. -
To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds.* Continue holding the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a self test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below.
Note: you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will not perform a self-test if it is not turned ON (see “STANDBY” Button description).
CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. this will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.
Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and battery charge. The “POWER” LED will be flashing and the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” and “BATTERY CHARGE” LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound. -
If the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS’s outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment and run the self test repeatedly until the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED is no longer lit red and the alarm is no longer sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or severe brownout. -
If the “BATTERY WARNING” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit
tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS. -
The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.
Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.
“POWER” LED: this green LED lights continuously when the UPS is ON and supplying connected equipment with AC power from a utility source. The LED flashes and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries during a blackout or severe brownout. If the blackout or severe brownout is prolonged, you should save files and shut down your equipment since internal battery power will eventually be depleted. See “BATTERY CHARGE” LED description below.
“VOLTAGE CORRECTION” LED : this green LED lights continuously whenever the UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC voltage on the utility line without the assistance of battery power. The UPS will also emit a slight clicking noise. These are normal, automatic operations of the UPS, no action is required on your part.
“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LEDs: These multicolored LEDs indicate the approximate electrical load of equipment connected to the UPS’s AC outlets: green (light load), yellow (medium load) and red (overload). If the red LED is either illuminated continuously or flashing, clear the overload immediately by unplugging some of your equipment from the outlets until the yellow or green LED illuminates. CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or severe brownout.
“BATTERY CHARGE” LEDs : When the UPS is operating from utility power, these LEDs indicates the approximate charge state of the UPS’s internal batteries: red indicates the batteries are beginning to charge; yellow indicates the batteries are roughly midway through charging; and green indicates the batteries are fully charged. When the UPS is operating from battery power during a blackout or severe brownout, these multicolor LEDs indicate the approximate amount of energy (ultimately affecting runtime) that the UPS’s batteries will provide: red indicates a low level of energy; yellow indicates a medium level of energy; and green indicates a high level of energy. Since the runtime performance of all UPS batteries will gradually deplete over time, it is recommended that you periodically perform a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description) to determine the energy level of your UPS batteries BEFORE a blackout or severe brownout occurs. During a prolonged blackout or severe brownout, you should save files and shut down your equipment since battery power will eventually be depleted. When the red LED illuminates and an alarm sounds continuous, this indicates that the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power and UPS shutdown is imminent.
“BATTERY WARNING” LED : this LED lights yellow and an alarm sounds intermittent after you initiate a self test (See “MUTE/TEST” Button description) to indicate the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED continues to light, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit tripplite.com.
“SITE WIRING FAULT” LED : This yellow LED will be lit if the UPS detects a problem with the wiring of the AC outlet you connect it to. If this occurs, have the outlet inspected by a qualified electrician. Note that while the UPS will detect many common wiring faults, including a missing ground, reversed polarity and overloaded neutral circuits, it cannot detect every conceivable wiring problem.
Other UPS Features
Voltage DIP Switch: This switch enables you to set the UPS to match actual input voltage. If the Voltage DIP Switch is set above or below input voltage, the UPS will treat the input as a continuous overvoltage or undervoltage condition, and will automatically adjust input voltage to match the Voltage Dip Switch setting. This will cause constant, unnecessary wear on the UPS system. Note: The Voltage DIP Switch must be set with the UPS turned OFF and disconnected from utility power. If the switch is set while the UPS is connected to utility power, the setting will not take effect.
AC Receptacles: These output receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during power outages. The UPS protects equipment connected to these receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. Select outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection for computers, monitors and other critical devices into these outlets. Select outlets provide surge protection only for printers and other non-essential devices that draw large amounts of power.
Communication Ports (USB and RS-232) : These ports connect your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and included cables to enable your computer to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide variety of AC line power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your PowerAlert Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information. See “USB Communications” and “RS-232 Serial Communications” in the “Optional Installation” section for installation instructions.
Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks protect your equipment against surges over a telephone/network data line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Accessory Slot: Remove the small cover panel from this slot to install optional accessories to remotely monitor and control your UPS. Refer to your accessory’s manual for installation instructions. Visit tripplite.com for more information, including a list of available SNMP, networking management and connectivity products.
Fan: The fan runs continuously to cool the UPS system’s internal components. It will operate at a higher speed when the UPS is in battery backup mode, charge mode, carrying a heavy electrical load or an over- temperature condition.
Input Breaker: Protect your electrical equipment from overcurrent draw from the UPS load. If this breaker trips, remove some of the load, then reset it by pressing the breaker in.
Battery Replacement
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. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the Web at tripplite.com/support/ battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
