Basic Operation
3 "OVERLOAD/CHECK BATTERY" LED: This red LED lights continuously after a self-test to indicate
the capacity of the battery-supported outlets has been exceeded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your
equipment from the battery-supported outlets; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self-Test. If the
UPS continues to detect an overload, remove more equipment and repeat the self test until successful.
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.
The LED flashes to indicate the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. If the LED flashes (and a
continuous alarm sounds) during a prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS's batteries are nearly
out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED flashes
following a UPS self-test (after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery needs to be
replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button
to run a Self Test. If the LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS
require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/
battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge protection.
4
Plug your computer, monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG
LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.
Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery backup. Plug
5
equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine) that does not require battery backup during a utility
power failure into these outlets.
Communication Port (Select models only.): This port connects your UPS System to any computer,
6
enabling PowerAlert Software to automatically save open files and perform unattended shutdown in the
event of a power failure. Use with included cable (featuring either a USB or DB9 connector, depending on
model). Connecting your equipment to this port is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this
connection. See Optional Installation section for details.
Tel/DSL Line Protection Jacks (Select models only.): These jacks protect equipment against surges over
7
a single phone line. Select models feature a built-in splitter (one jack in/two jacks out), allowing you to
connect two devices sharing a single line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS
will work properly without this connection.
Resettable Input Circuit Breaker: Protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw from the UPS
8
load. If this breaker trips, remove some of the load, then reset it by pressing it in.
Battery Replacement (bottom panel, not shown): Under normal conditions, the original battery in your
UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
During battery replacement, qualified service personnel should refer to "Battery Warnings" in the Safety
section and should observe the following procedure: turn the UPS off, unplug the power cord and remove
the two screws on the UPS bottom panel to access the internal battery. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of
replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.

Storage and Service

Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and
hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will
be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries
every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST
switch for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries
discharged for a long 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. 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.
