Hardwire the UPS System's input
terminals to a utility power source.
DANGER!
HIGH VOLTAGE! RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH! FOR QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS ONLY!
ELECTRICIANS MUST READ WARNINGS BELOW
AND IN SAFETY SECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
Before hardwiring, switch OFF the facility's circuit
breaker which is supplying power to the circuit the
UPS System will be connected to. Using a screwdriv-
er, remove the top of the box
covering the UPS
System's input terminals. Pass user-supplied cable
through the opening in the box
and attach it to the
terminals. After hardwiring is complete, switch ON the
facility's circuit breaker which is supplying power to
the circuit the UPS System is connected to. Note! after
the UPS System is connected to a live utility power
source, the UPS (in “Standby” mode) will automatical-
ly charge its batteries,* but will not supply power to its
outlets until it is turned ON (see Step 3 below).
* The BATTERY CHARGE LED will be the only LED illuminated.

Plug your equipment into the UPS.*
Plug your equipment into the UPS using the addition-
al power cord(s) that came with the UPS.
Note: Additional interconnection cords (C13 to C14) are available
from Tripp Lite. Call 773-869-1234 (Part # P004-006).
* Your UPS is designed to support only electronic equipment. You will
overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect
exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA rat-
ings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, mul-
tiply the number of amps by 240 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp ×
240 = 240 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets,
see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.
Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the “ON/OFF/STANDBY” button for
one second. The alarm will beep once briefly after one
second has passed. Release the button.

HARDWIRE WARNINGS!
• Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.
• When making wiring connections, observe the cable connection regulations appropriate
to your area at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your
installation wiring so you may cut off the UPS's AC input during fires and other
emergencies. Ensure that cables are fitted with cable sleeves and are secured by
connector clamps. Tighten connections with a torque of not less than 10 inch-pounds
(1.1 NM).
• Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.
• Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause fire hazards.
Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to make wiring connections (Ground
conductors must be the same size and type as the power conductors used).
