Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these
warnings will void your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment,
away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive
contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any
angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's
internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered
under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect the UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not
plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the plug of the UPS, and do not use an adapter that
eliminates the ground connection of the UPS.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. The
warranty will be void if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors
are used to connect the UPS to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-driven AC generator, the
generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Quick Installation
STEP 1: Place the UPS in a horizontal or vertical (tower) position. To
install the UPS in a 4-post rack, attach the included hardware to the UPS as
shown in diagram
. To install the UPS in a 2-post rack, attach the included
A
hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram
necessary, lift the UPS and attach it to a standard rack with user-supplied
hardware. Caution: If the UPS is installed in a rack, allow at least 2 cm
(0.75 in.) clearance above and below the unit. If the UPS is placed flat
on a surface, do NOT stack any other object directly on top of the unit.
The UPS will stand in a tower position without the aid of the included
hardware. For increased stability, however, Tripp Lite recommends attaching
the included hardware as shown in diagram
must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before installation.
The UPS and included hardware are designed for common rack types and
may not be appropriate for all applications. The LCD display may be rotated
to match the orientation of the UPS. Carefully insert a small tool in the slots
at the side of the LCD to remove it from the UPS housing, then rotate the
LCD and press it back into place.
CAUTION: To balance the UPS safely when placed in a vertical position,
make sure the LCD Display is located at the top of the front panel.

STEP 2: Connect a user-supplied power cord* to the UPS, then plug the
UPS into a wall outlet.**
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for
one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section).

Equipment Connection Warnings
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this
equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life
support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not
recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the
UPS. This might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and
UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for
any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-
circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries
in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the
battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before
performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Battery
replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel
using the same number and type of batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). The
batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.
Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of
live utility power.
*The UPS system does not include an input power cord. The user-supplied power cord should have
an IEC-320-C13 connector (commonly found on detachable power cords for desktop computers) at
one end in order to connect to the AC input of the UPS.
**Use an outlet that doesn't share a circuit with a heavy electrical load such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator.
STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.
Insert the female connectors of the detachable power cords that came with
the UPS system into the AC inputs of the attached equipment. Insert the
male connectors into any of the UPS system's available outlets.
The UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. Connected
equipment will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment
connected to the outlets exceeds the UPS Output Capacity. To find VA
ratings, look at equipment nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 230 volts to determine VA. (Example: 1
amp × 230 volts = 230 VA). If unsure whether the outlets are overloaded,
run a self-test (see "MUTE/TEST" Button description).
STEP 4: Optional Installation. The UPS includes USB and RS-232
communication ports as well as Tel/DSL/Ethernet and Coaxial surge
protection jacks. These connections are optional; the UPS will work
properly without these connections.
Not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.
CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on
for 24 hours after initial installation to fully charge the internal battery.
Connected equipment will receive utility-supplied AC power (if present)
immediately after the UPS is plugged in and turned on, but connected
equipment will not receive full battery backup in the event of a blackout
or severe brownout unless the internal battery is fully charged.
