Hardwired Electrical Connections
(All hardwire models)
(See Diagram 3, p. 33).
Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements.
HARDWIRE PROCEDURE
1) Loosen screws and remove cover plate from your APS's Hardwire AC electrical box. Remove
the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and to your equipment.
2) Thread your wires through strain reliefs and through the knockouts.
3) Connect both input and output ground wires to the ground (green) terminal.
4) Connect the incoming hot wire to the input hot (brown) terminal.
5) Connect the incoming neutral wire to the input neutral (blue) terminal.
6) Connect the outgoing hot wire to the output hot (black) terminal.
7) Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral (white) terminal.
8) Tighten and affix strain reliefs. Replace cover plate and tighten screws.
AC Input Electrical Connection
(All corded models)
Plug the line cord into an outlet providing 208V or 230V power at 50 Hz. (A trained technician may
be able to convert a unit to receive 60 Hz power. Consult Tripp Lite.) If an adaptor must be used,
use one that maintains the APS's ground connection. Make sure that the circuit you connect your
APS to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse.
AC Output Electrical Connection
(All corded models)
Simply plug your equipment into the unit's AC receptacles. If adaptors are necessary, use adaptors
that provide a ground connection.
Set Operating Mode Switch
• Switch to "AUTO/REMOTE" when you are using connected equipment. ADVANTAGE:
Uninterruptable power supply: provides battery backup power during blackouts or brownouts.
Note: When the switch is in the "AUTO/REMOTE" position, you can operate a user-
supplied Remote Connector to transfer between battery-backup and charge-only
modes. (See Remote Connector manual for more information.)
• Switch to "CHARGE ONLY" when you are not using connected equipment.
(WARNING! APS will not provide battery backup!) ADVANTAGES: A) Continues to charge
battery when power is present, and B) Turns OFF the APS's inverter, preventing battery drain
during blackouts or brownouts.
• Switch to "OFF" to completely turn off the APS and connected equipment or to reset the APS
after it has shut down due to overload or overheating.
