These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
Serial Communications
(Select models only)
Using the cable provided, connect the DB9 port
of your computer to the DB9 port of your UPS.
Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring
software program appropriate for your operating
system from www.tripplite.com and install it on
your computer.
USB Communications
(Select Models Only)
Using the cable provided, connect the USB port
of your computer to the USB port of your UPS.
Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring
software program appropriate for your operating
system from www.tripplite.com and install it on
your computer.
Tel/DSL Protection
(Select Models Only)
Using telephone cords, connect your wall jack
to the UPS jack marked “LINE” (or “IN”) and
your equipment to the UPS jack marked
“EQUIP” (or “OUT”). This will protect your
equipment from surges over the phone line, but
you should make sure that your equipment is
also protected against surges on the AC line.
UPS models with tel/DSL protection can protect
two lines on one cable simultaneously. If you
want to protect two lines that travel through
separate cables, you must use “Y” splitters
appropriate to your application to adapt them to
your UPS's phone jacks.
External Batteries
(Select Models Only)
External batteries are only needed to extend run-
time. Adding external batteries will increase
recharge time as well as runtime.
The illustration shows the location of your UPS’s
External Battery Connector, where you will
insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation
and mounting instructions for your battery pack
appear in the battery pack’s owner’s manual.
Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their
connectors. Small sparks may result during battery
connection; this is normal.
