Optional Installation
These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
Phone Line or Phone/Network Line
1
Surge Suppression
Your UPS has jacks which protect against surges
on a phone line. Select models feature jacks
which also protect against surges on a network
line. Using appropriate telephone or network
cords, connect your wall jack to the UPS jack
marked "IN." Connect your equipment to the UPS
jack marked "OUT." Make sure the equipment you
connect to the UPS's jacks is also protected
against surges on the AC line. Not compatible with
PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
USB or DB9 Communication
2
Port (select models only):
These ports can connect your UPS to any
computer for automatic file saves and unattended
shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with
Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and appropriate
USB or DB9 cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB or
DB9 cable may be included with your UPS; if so,
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 DB9 pass-through or 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.
External Battery Connection
3
(select models)
All UPS models come with a robust internal battery
system; select models feature connectors that
accept an optional external battery pack (sold
separately from Tripp Lite*) to provide additional
runtime. Adding an external battery will increase
recharge time as well as runtime. See 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 pack when the UPS
is running on battery power.
* See Specifications section for battery pack available for
your specific UPS model.
