Note: Additional interconnection cords (C13 to C14) are available  
from Tripp Lite. Call 773-869-1234 (Part # P004-006).  
* Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You will  
overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect  
exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity (see Specifications). To find your  
equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is  
listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 240 to determine VA.  
(Example: 1 amp × 240 = 240 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded  
the UPSs outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.

EPO Port Connection (all models)  
2
This optional feature is only for those applications  
which require connection to a facility’s Emergency  
Power Off (EPO) circuit. When the UPS is connected  
to this circuit, it enables emergency shutdown of the  
UPS’s inverter.  
Using the cable provided, connect the EPO port of  
your UPS (see 2a ) to a user-supplied normally closed or  
normally open switch according to the circuit diagram  
(see 2b ). The EPO port is not a phone line surge sup-  
pressor; do not connect a phone line to this port.

External Battery Connection  
(select models)  
3
All UPS models come with a robust internal battery  
system; select models feature connectors that accept  
optional external battery packs (sold separately from  
Tripp Lite*) to provide additional runtime. Adding  
external batteries will increase recharge time as well as  
runtime. See battery pack owner’s manual for complete  
installation instructions. Make sure cables are fully  
inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result  
during battery connection; this is normal. Do not connect  
or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running  
on battery power.  
* See Specifications section for battery packs available for your specific  
UPS model.

Basic Operation  
Buttons (Front Panel)  
“POWER” Button  
To turn the UPS ON: with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet*, press  
and hold the POWER button for one second.** Release the button. If utility  
power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power  
for a limited time from its batteries***) by pressing and holding the POWER  
button for one second.**  
To turn the UPS OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and  
hold the POWER button for one second.** Then unplug the UPS from the wall  
outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.  
* After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries, but will  
not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indi-  
cated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.  
“MUTE/TEST” Button  
To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the  
MUTE/TEST button.  
To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold  
the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds.* Continue holding the button until  
the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a self test. See “Results of  
a Self-Test” below. Note: you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.  
Your UPS, however, will not perform a self-test if you have placed it in  
“Standby/Charge-Only” mode (see “POWER” Button description).  
CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove  
safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your  
network connections.  
Results of a Self-Test: the test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS  
switches to battery to test its load capacity and battery charge. All LEDs will  
be lit and the UPS alarm will sound.  
• If the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to  
sound after the test, the UPS’s outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload,  
unplug some of your equipment and run the self-test repeatedly until the  
“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED is no longer lit red and the alarm is no  
longer sounding.  
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately  
following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying  
output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.  
• If the “BATTERY WARNING” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to  
sound after the test, 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 remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery  
cific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.  
* The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.

Basic Operation  
Indicator Lights (Front Panel)  
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet  
and turned ON.  
“POWER” LED: this green LED lights continuously when the UPS is ON and  
supplying connected equipment with AC power from a utility source. The LED  
flashes and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the  
UPS is operating from its internal batteries during a blackout or severe  
brownout. If the blackout or severe brownout is prolonged, you should save  
files and shut down your equipment since internal battery power will eventual-  
ly be depleted. See “BATTERY CHARGE” LED description below.  
“VOLTAGE CORRECTION” LED: this green LED lights continuously  
whenever the UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC voltage on the  
utility line without the assistance of battery power. The UPS will also emit a  
slight clicking noise. These are normal, automatic operations of the UPS, no  
action is required on your part.  
“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 complete a self test (See “MUTE/TEST” Button descrip-  
tion) 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  
continues to light, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery  
cific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

Basic Operation  
Other UPS Features (Rear Panel)  
AC Receptacles: Your UPS features IEC320-C13 outlets, and select models  
also feature IEC320-C19 outlets. These output receptacles provide your con-  
nected 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 receptacles OFF and ON using Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software.  
Select models have 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 connected to  
the other outlets. Select models also feature outlets labelled “UNSWITCHED”,  
which may not be remotely switched off. Unswitched outlets can only be turned off  
by turning off all of the output receptacles. See software instructions for details.  
IEC320-C13/230V  
IEC320-C19/230V  
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 “USB and RS-232 Serial Communications” in the “Optional  
Installation” section for installation instructions.  
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: 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 Connection.

continued  
Basic Operation  
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 (Select Models): 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’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 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’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. The specifications section of this  
manual lists the Tripp Lite external battery packs that are compatible with your  
model. Refer to instructions available with the battery pack for complete con-  
nection information and safety warnings.  
Input and Output Breakers: Your UPS features one or more breakers that protect  
your UPS from overcurrent draw and output overload. If one or more of these  
breakers trip, remove some of the load, then reset them by pressing the breaker  
switch(es) in.  
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 POWER button for one second (an alarm will beep once briefly after the inter-  
val has passed); then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If you store your UPS for an extended  
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 shipping.  
Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental  
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 carrier to the address  
given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.  
 
11  
Battery Replacement  
Under normal conditions, the original batteries in your UPS will last many years. See Safety section  
before replacing batteries. The batteries are designed for hot-swap replacement (i.e. leaving the UPS  
in ON mode), but some users may wish to put the UPS in the OFF mode before proceeding.
