Other UPS Features
7. AC Receptacles (Battery Backup Supported)
These receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line power during

protect your equipment against damaging surges and line noise. Connect com-
puter, monitor and other essential equipment to these receptacles.
8. AC Receptacle (Surge-Only)
This receptacle provides equipment that does not require battery backup (such
as printers) with complete surge and line noise protection. Do not connect
computers or other essential equipment to this receptacle.
9. “SMART” RS-232 Port
The RS-232 port connects your UPS to any PC or workstation. Use with Tripp Lite
