Basic Operation
Power Sensitivity Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counter-
clockwise, which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection against
waveform distortions 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 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 moderate 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 connected equipment. When experimenting with
different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so
that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS output can be
evaluated without disrupting critical operations.
External Battery Connector (optional): 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.
Input Breaker: Protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw from
the UPS load. If this breaker trips, reduce the load, then reset by pressing
the breaker in.
Output Breaker: Your UPS features an output breaker that protects your
UPS from output overload. If this breaker trips, remove some of the load on
the circuit, then reset by pressing the breaker in.
Ground Screw: Use this to connect any equipment that requires a chassis
ground.
