To avoid overloading your UPS System, match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts)
with the output wattage capacity of your UPS System model (see Specifications). Do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage
ratings. If you are not using your UPS System in conjunction with electronic traffic signal controllers, keep in mind that most electric motors
require extra power at start-up (“peak wattage”) than required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors
start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak wattage” at multiple, unpredictable times during operation. DoubleBoost

Feature: Tripp Lite UPS Systems deliver up to twice their nameplate rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power need-
ed to cold start heavy-duty equipment. OverPower

Feature: Tripp Lite UPS Systems deliver up to 150% of their name-plate rated wattage

for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve power to reliably support equipment longer.

* Actual duration depends on model, battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.

Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles

Plug the UPS System’s AC input cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit you connect your UPS
System to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse. Plug your equipment into the UPS System’s AC receptacles.
Any equipment you connect to it will benefit from your UPS System’s built-in

power conditioning, including surge, spike and

lightning protection!

Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements
for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility supply before attempting hardwiring.
Use wire type THHN or equivalent with minimum temperature rating of 90°C.

Connection for Models with Hardwire Terminals

Input:

Connect incoming wires to the hot (brown)      , neutral (blue)      

and ground* (green) terminals    .

Output:

Connect outgoing wires to the hot (black) 

, neutral (white)      

and ground* (green) terminals    .

Replace cover plate and tighten screws.* If the incoming conduit only contains two wires (hot and neutral),
the incoming conduit must be bonded to the main ground lug on the unit. In any case, the incoming conduit
must be bonded to earth ground, and the incoming conduit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.
