UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants,
dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and
40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS
into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support appliances in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason
except battery replacement. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit
current, observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the
same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries.
Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Tripp Lite offers a complete
line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite on the
Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement
battery for your UPS.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the
USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit
www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Unless your UPS system includes an external battery connector, do not attempt to add
external batteries.

Quick Installation
Using a small tool, set the Voltage
Dip Switch to match your input
voltage. (All models are preset to
the 120V setting.)
Note: if the Voltage Dip Switch setting does not match your
input voltage (if it is set above or below the input voltage),
the UPS system will naturally consider the input voltage as
a constant overvoltage or undervoltage condition. The UPS
system will respond accordingly by automatically adjusting
the input voltage to match the Voltage Dip Switch setting.
This will cause constant, unnecessary wear on the UPS system.
Plug one end of the detachable
line cord into your UPS’s AC Input
Receptacle and the other end into
an electrical outlet.
Plug the UPS directly into a properly grounded,
3-wire, 15-amp AC outlet that does not share
a circuit with a heavy electrical load (such as
an air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.).
After plugging your UPS in, check the Site
Wiring Fault LED on its rear panel. If it is lit,
the outlet is improperly wired; unplug the UPS
and have a qualified electrician check the outlet.
Note: Once your UPS is plugged in, it will begin charging
its batteries. If this is the first time you have plugged in your
UPS, or if your UPS has been in storage for a prolonged
period, it will need to charge its batteries for at least 6
hours before it can support connected equipment in the
event of a power failure.
Plug your equipment into your UPS.
Your UPS is designed to support computer
equipment only. You will overload your UPS
if you connect devices with high power
demands such as household appliances or
laser printers to your UPS’s outlets.
Turn your UPS ON:
• Press the “ON/TEST” Switch
• Hold it for several seconds until you
hear a beep
• Release it
Your UPS will begin providing power to its
outlets.
