Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings will
void the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, 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 the UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS
into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the ground
connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. The warranty will be
void if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect the UPS
to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life-support applications in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This may
damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Quick Installation
1
Connect the UPS to
an electrical outlet.
Make sure the outlet does not share a circuit
with a heavy electrical load such as an air
conditioner or refrigerator.
2
Plug a computer, monitor
and/or other equipment into
the UPS system.
The UPS is designed to support only
computer equipment. Connecting high power
draw equipment such as household appliances
or laser printers to outlets providing UPS
battery backup will overload the UPS.
“UPS/Surge” receptacles are used to provide
connected equipment with AC line power
during normal operation and battery power
during blackouts and brownouts. They also
protect equipment against damaging surges
and line noise. Connect the computer and
monitor to the “UPS/Surge” receptacles.

Basic Operation
Buttons
ON/OFF Button:
Switch the Operating Mode:
While the UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet,
press the
ON/OFF
button and hold it until the UPS beeps (about 2 seconds) to
toggle between
ON
and
OFF.
• ON Mode:
ENABLES battery backup.
UPS Conditions:
The UPS charges
the battery and supplies power to the outlets while receiving utility line power.
The “ ” indicator light will illuminate. If utility power fails, the UPS
provides power from battery.
Cold-Start:
Cold start the UPS to use it as a stand-alone power source when
utility power is not present (if the UPS battery is charged). To cold start the
UPS, press and hold the
ON/OFF
button until the UPS beeps (about 2
seconds), then release it. The “ ” indicator will illuminate and AC power
inverted from stored battery power will be provided to the outlets.
MUTE/TEST Button: Silence the UPS On-Battery Alarm:
Press and hold
this button to silence the UPS on-battery alarm, a series of short beeps followed
by a brief pause that is activated when the UPS is providing AC power from
battery. Note: When the battery is nearly depleted, the low battery alarm—a
continuous beep that cannot be silenced—will warn to shut down connected
equipment immediately.
Run a Self-Test:
To run a self-test, leave connected equipment on. With the
UPS plugged in and
ON,
press and hold the button until the UPS beeps (about
2 seconds) then release it.
Self-Test Results:
All LEDs will be lit and the UPS will emit several short beeps
as it momentarily switches to battery to test charge and load capacity. The test will
last up to 10 seconds. If the inverter is overloaded, the audible alarm will sound
and the UPS will automatically shut down; if this happens, remove some of the
load from the “UPS/Surge” outlets and run the self-test again. If the batteries are
weak, the “ ” LED will stay lit and the UPS will continue to beep after the test.
If this happens, let the UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If
the condition persists, contact Tripp Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug
the UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may
introduce a damaging surge into network connections.
Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
LINE POWER:
This green light will illuminate whenever the UPS is
ON
and receiving normal AC line power.
BATTERY POWER:
This yellow light will illuminate when the UPS is
providing equipment with battery power.
REPLACE BATTERY:
This red light will illuminate continuously after
the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the battery is weak. If it remains lit
after allowing the UPS to charge for twelve hours and running a second
self-test, contact Tripp Lite for service.

Other UPS Features
continued
AC Receptacles:
“UPS/Surge” receptacles are used to provide connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power
during blackouts and brownouts. They also protect equipment against
damaging surges and line noise.
Battery Replacement Door:
Under normal conditions, the original
battery in the UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be
performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery
Warnings” in the Safety section. Should the UPS require battery
replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/
battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for the UPS.
Power Sensitivity Adjustment:
This dial is normally set fully
counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform
distortions in its AC input. When such distortions occur, the UPS will
normally switch to providing PWM sinewave power from its battery
reserves for as long as the distortions are 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.
It may be possible to reduce how often the 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 switches
to battery less often. 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. The experiment should
last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are
encountered.
USB Communication Port:
This port can connect your UPS to any
computer for automatic file saves and unattended shutdown in the event
of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and
appropriate USB cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB cable may be included
with your UPS; if so, insert the CD into the CD tray of your computer and
follow the installation instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the
appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, you can obtain the
software FREE via the Web at www.tripplite.com. Any user-supplied USB
cable may then be used to connect your UPS to your computer. NOTE:
This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this
connection.
