Basic Operation
Accessory Slot:
Remove the small cover panel from this slot to install
optional accessories to remotely monitor and control your UPS. Refer to
your accessory’s manual for installation instructions. Contact Tripp Lite
Customer Support at 773.869.1234 for more information, including a list
of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.
Voltage DIP Switches (select models):
These switches enable you to
set the UPS to match actual input voltage. If the Voltage DIP Switches are
set above or below input voltage, the UPS will treat the input as a
continuous overvoltage or undervoltage condition, and will automatically
adjust input voltage to match the Voltage DIP Switch setting. This will
cause constant, unnecessary wear on the UPS system.
Note:
The Voltage DIP Switches must be set with the UPS turned OFF and
disconnected from utility power. If the switches are set while the UPS is connected
to utility power, the setting will not take effect.
Power Sensitivity Adjustment:
This dial is normally set fully counter-
clockwise, which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection against
waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS
will normally switch to providing sine wave power from its battery reserves
for as long as the distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or
where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator, chronic
waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too
frequently, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how
often your UPS switches to battery due to moderate waveform distortion by
experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned
clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input
power’s AC waveform.
Note:
The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform
distortion the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting
with different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode
so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s output
can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.
External Battery Connector (optional):
Use to connect Tripp Lite
external battery packs for additional runtime. Refer to instructions available
with the battery pack for complete connection information and safety
warnings.
