Other UPS Features
AC Receptacles: The receptacles provide your connected equipment
with AC line power during normal operation and battery power dur-
ing blackouts and brownouts. They also protect your equipment
against damaging surges and line noise.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks (Select Models Only): These jacks protect
connected equipment against surges travelling over the modem/fax or
telephone line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional.
Your UPS will still work properly without this connection.
USB or DB9 Communication Port: These ports can connect your
UPS to any computer for automatic file saves and unattended shut-
down in the event of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert
Software and appropriate USB or DB9 cable. A PowerAlert CD and
USB or DB9 cable may be included with your UPS; if so, insert the
CD into the CD tray of your computer and follow the installation
instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the appropriate cable did not
come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the Web
at www.tripplite.com. Any user-supplied DB9 pass-through or USB
cable may then be used to connect your UPS to your computer. NOTE:
This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this
connection.
Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original
battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement
should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to
"Battery Warnings" in the Safety section. 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.
External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): Use to connect
one or more Tripp Lite battery packs for additional runtime. Refer to
Specifications and/or the label next to the connector to determine the
appropriate variety of battery pack to use. Refer to the battery pack
instruction manual for complete installation information and important
safety warnings.
Input Breakers: Protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent
draw from the UPS load. If breaker trips, remove some of the load,
then reset it by pressing the breaker in.
Equipotential Connection (Select Models Only): Use this to
connect any equipment that requires a chassis ground.
