Indicator Lights (Front Panel)
"OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED: this multicolored LED indicates the
approximate electrical load of equipment connected to the UPS's AC outlets. It
will turn from green (light load) to yellow (medium load) to red (overload). If
the LED is red (either illuminated continuously or flashing), clear the overload
immediately by unplugging some of your equipment from the outlets until the
LED changes from red to yellow (or green). CAUTION! Any overload that is
not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS to shut down and
cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.
"BATTERY CHARGE" LED: when the UPS is operating from utility power,
this LED indicates the approximate charge state of the UPS's internal batteries:
red indicates the batteries are beginning to charge; yellow indicates the batteries
are roughly midway through charging; and green indicates the batteries are fully
charged. When the UPS is operating from battery power during a blackout or
severe brownout, this LED indicates the approximate amount of energy (ulti-
mately affecting runtime) which the UPS's batteries will provide: red indicates
a low level of energy; yellow indicates a medium level of energy; and green
indicates a high level of energy. Since the runtime performance of all UPS bat-
teries will gradually deplete over time, it is recommended that you periodically
perform a self-test (see MUTE/TEST Button description) to determine the energy
level of your UPS batteries BEFORE a blackout or severe brownout occurs.
During a prolonged blackout or severe brownout, you should save files and shut
down your equipment since battery power will eventually be depleted. When the
LED turns red and an alarm sounds continuously, it indicates the UPS's batteries
are nearly out of power and UPS shut down is imminent.
"BATTERY WARNING" LED: this LED lights red and an alarm sounds
intermittently after you initiate a self test (See "MUTE/TEST" Button description)
to indicate the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS
to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED con-
tinues to light, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery
replacement, visit www.tripplite.com to locate the specific Tripp Lite replace-
ment battery for your UPS.
Other UPS Features (Rear Panel)
AC Receptacles: Your UPS features 15/20-amp AC outlets and 20-amp and 30-
amp AC outlets. These output receptacles provide your connected equipment
with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during blackouts
and brownouts. The UPS protects equipment connected to these receptacles
against damaging surges and line noise. If you have a serial or USB connection
to your UPS, you can remotely reboot connected equipment by turning the recep-
tacles OFF and ON using Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software. Select models have
15/20 amp (120V)
NEMA 5-15/20R their receptacles divided into one or more load banks (labelled "LOAD 1," etc.)
which may be remotely switched OFF and ON using Tripp Lite
UPS software without interrupting power to equipment connect-
ed to the other outlets.

Other UPS Features (Rear Panel)
Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect your UPS to any
workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and included
cables to enable your computer to automatically save open files and shut down
equipment during a blackout. Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide
variety of AC line power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your
PowerAlert Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more
information. See "Optional Installation" section for installation instructions.
Relay Contact Interface Port: This female DB9 port sends contact-closure
signals to indicate line-fail and low battery status. See "Optional Installation"
section for installation instructions.
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port (Select Models Only): Your UPS features
a EPO port that may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to
enable emergency inverter shutdown. See Optional Installation.
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.
Power Sensitivity Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counter-clockwise,
which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection against waveform distor-
tions 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 mod-
erate 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 con-
nected equipment. When experimenting with different settings for this dial,
operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equip-
ment of any waveform distortions in the UPS's output can be evaluated without
disrupting critical operations.
External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): 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.
