Optional Connections
(continued)
USB and RS-232 Serial
Communications
Use the included USB cable (see
2a
) and/or DB9
serial cable (see
2b
) to connect the UPS to a Media
Center PC, home automation system or server.
Install the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate
to your equipment's operating system. Your UPS
may feature two communication ports; the additional
port can be used to connect the UPS to a second
home entertainment or home automation PC that has
PowerAlert Software installed. For more information,
consult your PowerAlerts manual.
EPO Port Connection
(Select Models)
This optional feature is only for those applications
that require connection to a home automation/home
security Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When
the UPS is connected to this circuit, it enables
emergency shutdown of the UPS's inverter. Using
the cable provided, connect the EPO port of your
UPS (see
3a
) to a user-supplied normally closed or
normally open switch according to the circuit
diagram (see
3b
). The EPO port is not a phone
line surge suppressor; do not connect a phone line
to this port.
External Battery Connection
Check to ensure that the external batteries you are
connecting match the voltage listed on your UPS's
battery connector. All UPS models come with a
robust internal battery system; all models feature
connectors that accept optional external battery
packs (sold separately from Tripp Lite) to provide
additional runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime. See the
battery pack owner's manual for complete installation
instructions. Make sure cables are fully inserted into
their connectors. Small sparks may result during
battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect or
disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running
on battery power.
