Optional Installation
These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
Phone Line or Phone/Network
1
Line Surge Suppression
Your UPS has jacks which protect against
surges on a phone line. Select models feature
jacks which also protect against surges on a network
line. Using appropriate telephone or network
cords connect your wall jack to the UPS jack
marked "IN." Connect your equipment to the UPS
jack marked "OUT." Make sure the equipment
you connect to the UPS's jacks is also protected
against surges on the AC line.
USB Communications
2
Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of
your computer to the USB port of your UPS.
Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring
software program appropriate for your operating
system from www.tripplite.com and install it on
your computer.
External Battery Connection
3
(select models)
All UPS models come with a robust internal
battery system; select models feature connectors
that accept an optional external battery pack
(sold separately from Tripp Lite*) to provide
additional runtime. Adding an external battery
will increase recharge time as well as runtime.
See battery pack owner's manual for complete
installation instructions. Make sure cables are
fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks
may result during battery connection; this is normal.
Do not connect or disconnect battery pack when
the UPS is running on battery power.
* See Specifications section for battery pack available for
your specific UPS model.
