· Set it and leave it “ON” at all times.  
All Other Countries  
· Set to “OFF” when you are not using  
connected equipment.  
(WARNING! When set to "OFF," UPS will not  
provide battery backup during a blackout or  
brownout)  
· Set to “ON” when you are using  
connected equipment.  
* Separate battery-supported/surge and surge-only outlets are available only on select models (identified on the back of  
your UPS). Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You will overload your UPS if you connect  
household appliances, laser printers or surge suppressors. ** See Basic Operation section for the Switch Function, UPS  
Conditions and Setting Advantages.

the DB9 port of your UPS to the DB9 port of  
your computer. Load software (if supplied)  
and run the installation program appropri-  
ate for your operating system.  
OPTION2(BrownoutVoltageAdjustment)  
Adjust the Voltage Potentiometer (UPS  
back panel) clockwise to lower the voltage  
point at which the UPS switches from on-  
line to battery output.**  
OPTION 2  
* Your UPS will function properly without these  
connections or settings. ** For users who  
experience frequent, severe brownouts to avoid  
excessive battery drain. Note: Use caution when  
adjusting the potentiometer while the UPS is  
powering a voltage-sensitive load.

Basic Operation  
Switches  
With your UPS plugged in, set this switch according to the  
OFF  
ON  
recommendations in Step 3 of the Quick Installation section.  
"ON" Position  
Function: ENABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: The UPS  
battery is charging. Power is ON at the UPS receptacles. The "  
"
indicator light is illuminated. Setting Advantages: Provides bat-  
tery backup during blackouts or brownouts.  
"OFF" Position  
Function: DISABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: The UPS  
battery is charging. Power is ON at the UPS receptacles. The " "  
indicator light is illuminated. The " " indicator light is flashing.  
Setting Advantages: continues to charge the battery when power  
ispresentwhileturningOFFtheinvertertopreventbatterybackup  
operation when equipment is not in use.  
Note: Only UPS models equipped with a “MUTE/TEST” switch allow you to “cold start” them and  
use them as stand-alone power sources when utility power is not present. To “cold start” your UPS,  
first turn your UPS ON. Then, move the MUTE/TEST switch to the left, hold momentarily and  
release when the " " indicator light begins to flash.  
Use this momentary switch to do two things:  
Silence the UPS alarm*  
Move this switch to the left and release it. Note: When the battery  
is nearly depleted the alarm resumes (and cannot be silenced) to  
alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.  
Test your UPS's battery charge  
Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in  
and turned ON, move this switch to the left; hold it there for 2  
seconds and release it. The UPS will momentarily switch to battery  
to test its charge. If the UPS alarm sounds or the properly-sized  
loadisnotsupported, letyourUPSchargeitsbatteriesfor12hours  
and repeat the test. If alarm still sounds, contact Tripp Lite for  
service. 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.  
*The UPS alarm consists of a series of short beeps followed by a brief pause. The alarm is activated  
when the UPS switches to battery during a blackout or brownout.  
If you experience severe brownouts that cause the UPS to fre-  
quently switch to battery, the adjustable voltage potentiometer  
allows you to prevent excessive battery drain by lowering the  
voltage point at which the UPS switches to battery. Turn it  
clockwise to lower the voltage point as much as 18% below the  
nominal setting of 99 volts (set fully clockwise).  
Note: Your UPS’s optimal setting will depend on the voltage conditions in your area. Adjust it  
clockwise until you reduce the frequency your UPS switches to battery. Your UPS will function  
properly at any setting. Use caution when adjusting the potentiometer while the UPS is powering  
voltage-sensitiveloads.

Indicator Lights  
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a  
wall outlet and turned ON.  
This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is plugged in and  
receiving normal AC line power.  
This red light will turn ON when your UPS is providing your  
equipment with battery power.  
This yellow light will turn ON after you test your UPS battery’s  
charge with the “Mute/Test” Switch to indicate that the UPS’s  
battery is less than fully charged. If it stays on continuously,  
contact Tripp Lite for service. The light will flash after you set the  
“OFF/ONSwitchtotheOFFpositiontoindicatethattheUPSwill  
not provide battery backup during a blackout or brownout.  
This red light will turn ON when the UPS’s capacity has been  
exceeded while it is operating from battery power (either during a  
self-test or during a blackout). Remove overload from battery-  
supported outlets immediately.

select models  
Other UPS Features  
AC Receptacles  
The receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line  
power during normal operation. They will provide battery power  
duringblackoutsandbrownoutsonlyiftheOFF/ONSwitchisset  
to the “ON” position. The receptacles also protect your equipment  
against damaging surges and line noise. Select models, however,  
feature “surge-only” receptacles (identified on the back of your  
UPS) that provide peripherals with surge protection without com-  
mitting precious battery power to support them during blackouts.  
DB9 Port (Available on select models)  
TheDB9portconnectsyourUPStoanyworkstationorserver.Use

contact-closure signals to indicate line-fail and low-battery sta-  
tus. It also receives a shut down signal from the connected  
computer to conserve the UPS battery charge. Contact Tripp Lite

several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by  
qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the  
Safety section on page 2.  
Storage & Service  
Storage  
First turn your UPS OFF and disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet. Then  
disconnect all equipment to avoid battery drain. If you plan on storing your UPS  
for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three  
months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet and letting the UPS charge for  
4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period  
of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.  
Service  
If returning your UPS to Tripp Lite, please carefully pack the UPS using the  
ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter  
describing the symptoms of the problem. If the UPS is within the 2 year warranty  
period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
