Optional Installation
These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
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 for your
computer’s operating system. Consult the
PowerAlert manual for more information.
Telephone/Network Protection Jacks
Your UPS has jacks that protect against surges over
a telephone line or a network data line. Using
telephone or 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 jacks is
also protected against surges on the AC line.
External Battery Connection
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery
system; external batteries are needed only to
extend runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime.
The illustration shows the location of the External
Battery Connector
, where you will insert the
battery pack cable. Complete installation
instructions for your battery pack appear in the
battery pack owner's manual. Make sure that
cables are fully inserted into their connectors.
Small sparks may result during battery connection;
this is normal.
Warning: Do not connect or disconnect battery
packs when the UPS is running on battery
power.
