Basic Operation
(Rear Panel)
Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets:
Provide
both battery backup and surge protection. Plug your computer,
monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO
NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.
Surge-Only Protected Outlets:
Provide surge and line noise
protection, not battery backup. Plug equipment (such as a printer,
scanner or fax machine) that does not require battery backup during
a utility power failure into these outlets.
USB Communication Port:
This port can connect your UPS to a
computer in order to automatically save open files and shut down
the computer if it is left unattended during an extended power
failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and appropriate
USB cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB cable are included with
select models. If PowerAlert is included with your model, insert the
CD into the CD tray of your computer and follow the installation
instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the appropriate cable did
not come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the
Web at www.tripplite.com. Any user-supplied USB cable may then
be used to connect your UPS to your computer. Note: This
connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this
connection. Also Note: This UPS System automatically provides
basic communication compatibility with most integrated
Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
and Linux
®
power management
applications.
CAUTION: Users shall take proper care to minimize Electro-
Static events. In the event of a severe Electro-Static Discharge on
or near the USB port, this UPS may shut down automatically. In
the case of a shut down, the UPS will need to be turned back on.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks:
RJ-style jacks protect connected
equipment by stopping surges on a single phone, fax or modem
line. Connect a phone cord from the wall jack directly to the
Tel/DSL jack labeled “IN.” Connect a phone cord from the
Tel/DSL jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected.
The UPS system must always be the first item connected in line
from the wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a
grounded AC outlet for Tel/DSL line surge protection to work.
Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS
will work properly without this connection.
AC Input Outlet:
This outlet accepts a user-supplied power cord
with a country-specific plug.
Battery Replacement (back panel, not shown):
Under normal
conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several
years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. During battery replacement, qualified
service personnel should refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety
section and should observe the following procedure: turn the
UPS off, unplug the power cord and remove the two screws on the
UPS back panel to access the internal battery. Tripp Lite offers a
complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.

Storage & Service
Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off
and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF button
for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated),
and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an
extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months.
Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding
the ON/OFF button for one second, and allow the batteries to
recharge for 24 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for
a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Service
Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps: 1. Review
the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that
the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the
instructions. 2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the
UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1234
domestically or (773) 869-1212 internationally. A service technician
will ask for the UPS's model number, serial number and purchase date
and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone. 3. If the
problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned
Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service.
If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you
proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during
shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages
(direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS
incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite
service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to
Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have
transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside
of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year warranty
period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the UPS for
service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the
Tripp Lite service technician.
Note on Labeling
Two symbols are used on the label.
