Installation
Input Connection
Connect a user-supplied power cord to the
UPS system’s IEC-320-C14 input receptacle
A
, located at the end of the input power
cord. The user-supplied power cord should
have an IEC-320-C13 connector at one
end
B
and a plug compatible with the
local site’s utility outlets at the other end.
(Your computer’s detachable power cord is
probably compatible.)
Note: The plug will vary depending on the type of power
cord supplied by the user.
After connecting the user-supplied power
cord to the UPS system’s IEC-320-C14
input receptacle, insert the plug directly
into a grounded 230V AC outlet. The outlet
should not share a circuit with a heavy
electrical load such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator.

Power On
Press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button
A
for 1 second (the UPS will beep) to turn the
UPS system on. The green ON/OFF light
B
will illuminate when the UPS system is on.
Note: The UPS system will not begin to charge its battery
until it has been turned on. Connected equipment will not
be supported adequately during a power failure until the
internal battery has charged for 4-6 hours. It will take up
to 8 hours for the battery to charge completely.

Output Connections
Using the included C13-to-C14 power cord
A
, connect a personal computer or other
electronic equipment to one of the UPS
system’s IEC-320-C13 output receptacles
B
. Connect additional equipment with
user-supplied power cords that have a C14
connector at one end.
Note: Laser printers, large household appliances or other
equipment with very high power requirements should not
be connected to the UPS. The UPS will become overloaded
if the combined power requirement for all connected
equipment exceeds the total output capacity of the UPS
(550VA). The VA rating for each piece of equipment can
be found by consulting the equipment’s documentation
and/or nameplate. If amps are shown, multiply by 230V to
determine VA (Volts x Amps = VA).
C13-to-C14 power cords (Part # P004-006) are available
from Tripp Lite. Call +1 773 869 1234 for more
information.
