External Battery Connector (select models):
Use to connect one or more
Tripp Lite battery packs for additional runtime. Refer to Specifications and/
or the label next to the connector to determine the appropriate variety of
battery pack to use. Refer to the battery pack instruction manual for
complete installation information and important safety warnings. See
“External Battery Connection” in the “Optional Installation” section.
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 www.tripplite.
com for more information, including a list of available SNMP, networking
management and connectivity products.
Input Breaker(s) (all models):
Protect your electrical circuit from
overcurrent draw from the UPS load. If these breakers trip, remove some of
the load, then reset them by pressing the breaker(s) in.
Output Breaker(s) (select models):
Your UPS features one or more
breakers that protect your UPS from output overload. If one or more
breakers trip, remove some of the load on the circuit(s), then reset them by
pressing the breaker switch(es) in.
Battery Charge Level Switch (select models):
Select models feature a
switch that controls the UPS system’s battery charge rate. If you connect
any external batteries, set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the up
position. This will increase your UPS’s charger output so the additional
batteries charge faster. Note: the switch to the right of the Battery Charge
Level Switch is inactive and will not affect UPS operation regardless of its
position.
CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the up
position without an external battery connected. There is a risk of
damaging the UPS’s internal battery system.
Power Sensitivity Adjustment:
This dial is normally set fully
counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection
against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs,
the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sine wave power from its
battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In areas with poor
utility power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup
generator, chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to
battery too frequently, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to
reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to moderate waveform
distortion 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. 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.
