Quick Installation
Plug the UPS into an outlet
that doesn’t share a circuit
with a heavy electrical load.*
* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.
NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live
AC outlet, the UPS will turn ON automati-
cally. See “ON/OFF” Button description in
the Basic Operation section if you want to
place the UPS in any mode other than ON.
Plug your equipment into
the UPS.
The
outlets will provide battery backup
and surge protection; plug your computer,
monitor and other critical devices here.*
The
outlets will provide surge protection
only; plug your printer and other non-
essential devices here.
* Your UPS is designed to only support computer equipment.
You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the
equipment you connect to the (A) outlets exceeds the UPS’s
Output Capacity (see Specifications). To find your equipment’s
VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is
listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to
determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you
are unsure if you have overloaded the (A) outlets, run a
self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description).

Important Safety Instructions

UPS Location Warnings
• Install your 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 your 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’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be
voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your 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 your UPS. This may
damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit
current, observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing
battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries
with the same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the
batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Tripp Lite offers a
complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite
on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific
replacement battery for your UPS.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the
USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit
www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries.
