Other UPS Features
Hospital-Grade AC Receptacles:
The receptacles provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during
blackouts and brownouts. They also protect your equipment against damaging
surges and line noise.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks (Select Models Only):
These jacks protect connected
equipment against surges travelling over the modem/fax or telephone line.
Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will still work
properly without this connection.
USB or DB9 Communication Port (Select Models Only):
These ports can
connect your UPS to any computer for automatic file saves and unattended
shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert
Software and appropriate USB or DB9 cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB or DB9
cable may be included with your UPS; if so, insert the CD into the CD tray of your
computer and follow the installation instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the
appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE
via the Web at www.tripplite.com. Any user-supplied DB9 pass-through or USB
cable may then be used to connect your UPS to your computer.
NOTE:
This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
Battery Replacement Door:
Under normal conditions, the original battery in
your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only
by qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section.
Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the Web at
www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific replacement
battery for your UPS.
External Battery Connector (Select Models Only):
Use to connect one or
more Tripp Lite battery packs for additional runtime. Refer to 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.
Input Breaker:
Protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw from the
UPS load. If breaker trips, remove some of the load, then reset it by pressing the
breaker in.
Equipotential Connection:
Use this to connect any equipment that requires a
chassis ground.
