Quick Installation
1
Plug the UPS into an outlet on a
dedicated circuit.*
NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet,
the UPS (in “Standby” mode) will automatically
charge its batteries,** but will not supply power to
its outlets until it is turned ON (see Step 3 below).
1
* Select models include an additional plug which can be switched by
a qualified electrician. ** The BATTERY CHARGE LED will be the
only LED illuminated.
2
Plug your equipment into the UPS.*
* Your UPS is designed to support Media Center PCs, home automa-
tion systems and audio/video components only. You will overload the
UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect exceeds the
UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on
their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the num-
ber of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA).
If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS's outlets, see “OUT-
PUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.

USB and RS-232 Serial
Communications (all models)
Use the included USB cable (see 1a ) and/or DB9 seri-
al cable (see 1b ) to connect the UPS to a Media Center
PC, home automation system or server. Install the Tripp
Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your equip-
ment's operating system. Your UPS may feature addi-
tional communication ports; these ports may be con-
nected to additional home entertainment or home
automation PCs that have PowerAlert Software
installed. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more
information.

EPO Port Connection (all models)
This optional feature is only for those applications
that require connection to a home automation/home
security Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When
the UPS is connected to this circuit, it enables emer-
gency shutdown of the UPS's inverter. Using the cable
2a
provided, connect the EPO port of your UPS (see
to a user-supplied normally closed or normally open
)
2b
switch according to the circuit diagram (see
). The
EPO port is not a phone line surge suppressor; do
not connect a phone line to this port.
3 External Battery Connection
(select models only)
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery sys-
tem; external batteries are needed only to extend run-
time. Adding external batteries will increase recharge
time as well as runtime.
4-5
3a
The illustration (see
) shows the location of your
UPS’s External Battery Connector, where you will
insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation
instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery
pack owner’s manual. Make sure that 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.
If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery
3b
Charge Level Switch (see
) to the down position.
This will increase your UPS’s charger output so that
the additional batteries charge faster. Note: The switch
to the right of the Battery Charge Level Switch is inactive
and will not affect UPS operation regardless of its position.

Basic Operation
Buttons (Front Panel)
“ON/OFF/STANDBY” Button
• To turn the UPS ON: with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet*, press
and hold the “ON/OFF/STANDBY” button for one second.** Release the but-
ton. 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 “ON/OFF/STANDBY” button for one second.**
• To turn the UPS OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and
hold the “ON/OFF/STANDBY” 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 (in ”Standby” mode) 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 indicated 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 the UPS is not turned on (see
“ON/OFF/STANDBY” 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
system 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.
• If the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED remains lit red and the alarm contin-
ues to sound after the test, the UPS’s outlets are overloaded. To clear the over-
load, 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.

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 shut
down your equipment since internal battery power will eventually 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 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 initiate a self test (See “MUTE/TEST” Button description)
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 con-
tinues to light, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery
ment battery for your UPS.

Basic Operation
Other UPS Features (Rear Panel)
AC Receptacles: Your UPS features 15-amp AC outlets, and select models also
feature 20-amp and 30- amp AC outlets. These output receptacles provide your
connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery
power during blackouts and brownouts. The UPS protects equipment connect-
ed 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 equip-
ment 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 con-
nected to the other outlets. Select models feature special outlets (clearly labeled
on the rear panel) which provide surge-only (not battery backup) protection.
Select models also feature outlets labelled “UNSWITCHED”, which may not
be remotely switched off. See software instructions for details.

Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect your UPS to
any Media Center PC or home automation system. Use with Tripp Lite’s
PowerAlert Software and included cables to enable your Media Center PC,
home automation system or server 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

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 SensitivityAdjustment: 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 mod-
erate 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 con-
nected equipment. When experimenting with different settings for this dial,
operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equip-
ment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s output can be evaluated without
disrupting Media Center PC or home automation system operation.
External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): 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.
Battery Charge Level Switch (Select Models Only): Controls the UPS system’s
battery charge rate. If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery Charge
Level Switch to the down position. This will increase your UPS's charger output
so the additional batteries charge faster. Note: the switch to the right of the
Battery Charge Level Switch is inactive and will not affect UPS operation
regardless of its position. CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level
Switch to the down position without an external battery connected. There
is a risk of damaging the UPS’s internal battery system.

Storage and Service
Storage
Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press
and hold the "ON/OFF/STANDBY" button for one second (an alarm will beep once briefly after the
interval has passed); then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If you store your UPS for an extend-
ed 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.
