program appropriate for your operating system
from www.tripplite.com and install it on your
computer.
Serial Communications
(Select Models Only)
Use the serial cable provided with your UPS to

DB9 port of your UPS. Download the
PowerAlert UPS monitoring software program
appropriate for your operating system from
www.tripplite.com and install it on your computer.
External Battery Connection
(Select Models Only)
External batteries are only needed to extend runtime.
Adding external batteries will increase recharge
time as well as runtime.
The illustration shows the location of your UPS’s
External Battery Connector, where you will
insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation
and mounting instructions for your battery pack
appear in the battery pack’s owner’s manual.
Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their
connectors. Small sparks may result during battery
connection; this is normal.
If you connect more than one external battery,
set the Charge Level switch to
EXTERNAL
BATTERY
. Your UPS’s charger will increase
its output to handle the additional batteries.
