Charge Level Switch to the down position. This will increase your UPS's charg-

Output Breakers (Select Models Only): Your UPS has two kinds of breakers
that protect your UPS from output overload. If the breaker switch trips, remove
some of the load from the UPS's 20-amp receptacles and allow the unit to cool
before resetting the breaker switch by flipping it from off to on. If the breaker
button trips, remove some of the load on the UPS's 15/20-amp receptacles and
allow the unit to cool before resetting the breaker button by pressing it.
Ground Screw: Use this to connect any equipment that requires a chassis ground.

Storage and Service

Storage
Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press
and hold the "ON/OFF/STANDBY" button for one second (an alarm will beep once briefly after the
interval has passed); then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If you store your UPS for an extend-
ed period of time, recharge the UPS batteries once every three months: plug the UPS into a wall out-
let; allow it to charge for 12 hours; and then unplug it and place it back in storage. Note: after you plug
the UPS in, it will automatically begin charging its batteries; however, it will not supply power to its
outlets (see Quick Installation section). If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended
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. Also, check that the UPS
System's circuit breaker(s) are not tripped. This is the most common cause of service inquiries
which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual.
2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite
at (773) 869-1233. 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 ship-
ping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, inci-
dental 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 car-
rier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.
