Optional Installation
The following connections are optional. The UPS system will function properly without these connections.
USB and Serial Communication Connection
1
Use the included USB cable
the communication port of a computer to the communication port of the UPS.
Install the PowerAlert software appropriate for the computer's operating
system. Consult the PowerAlert manual for more information.
EPO Port Connection
2
This optional feature is only for those applications that require connection to
a facility's Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When the power module is
connected to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the UPS system's
output. Using the included cable
normally closed or normally open switch. The pin assignment for the EPO
port is shown in diagram
NOTE: The EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor; do not
connect a phone line to this port.
External Battery Connection
3
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery system; external batteries are
needed only to extend runtime. Adding external batteries will increase recharge
time as well as runtime.
NOTE: Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is
running on battery power.
The illustration (see
3
) shows the location of your UPS's External Battery
Connector, where you will insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation
instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery pack owner's manual.
Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may
result during battery connection; this is normal.
The Battery Configuration Port automatically detects up to four external
Tripp Lite battery packs and also estimates the remaining battery run time.
Using the included RJ-45 cable
a user-supplied Tripp Lite external battery pack.
NOTE: The Battery Configuration Port will only detect Tripp Lite
external battery packs that support this feature. To determine whether a
battery pack supports this feature, consult the battery pack owner's
manual. Do not connect to a network.
Internal SNMP/WEB or Relay I/O Card Insertion
4
Remove the slot's cover to install an optional internal SNMP/Web accessory
card (Model: SNMPWEBCARD) to enable remote UPS monitoring and
control via SNMP, Web or telnet. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at
