AC Output Receptacles:
Your UPS features IEC320-C13 AC out-
lets, and select models also feature IEC320-C19 AC outlets. These
output receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line
power during normal operation and battery power during blackouts
and brownouts. The UPS protects equipment connected to these recep-
tacles against damaging surges and line noise. If you have a serial
or USB connection to your UPS, you can remotely reboot connected
equipment by turning the receptacles OFF and ON using Tripp Lite’s
PowerAlert Software. Select models have their receptacles divided
into one or more load banks (labeled “LOAD 1,” etc.) which may
be remotely switched OFF and ON using Tripp Lite UPS software
without interrupting power to equipment connected to the other
outlets. See software instructions for details.
AC Input Receptacle:
This receptacle accepts a user-supplied
power cord (with country-specific plug).
Communication Ports (USB or RS-232):
These ports connect
your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s
PowerAlert Software and included cables to enable your computer
to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a
blackout. Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide variety
of AC line power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your
PowerAlert Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer
Support for more information. See “USB Communications” and
“RS-232 Serial Communications” in the “Optional Installation”
section for installation instructions.
EPO Port (select models):
Your UPS features an EPO port that
may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to
enable emergency inverter shutdown. See “EPO Port Connection”
in the “Optional Installation” section.
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 to locate
the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
External Battery Connector (select models):
Use to connect one
or more Tripp Lite battery packs for additional runtime. Refer to
Specifications and/or 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. See “External Battery Connection” in
the “Optional Installation” section.
