Basic Operation

Other UPS Features
Voltage DIP Switch: This switch enables you to set the UPS to match
actual input voltage. If the Voltage DIP Switch is set above or below input
voltage, the UPS will treat the input as a continuous overvoltage or
undervoltage condition, and will automatically adjust input voltage to
match the Voltage Dip Switch setting. This will cause constant,
unnecessary wear on the UPS system. Note: The Voltage DIP Switch
must be set with the UPS turned OFF and disconnected from utility
power. If the switch is set while the UPS is connected to utility power,
the setting will not take effect.
AC Receptacles: These output receptacles provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power
during power outages. The UPS protects equipment connected to these
receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. Select outlets provide
both battery backup and surge protection for computers, monitors and
other critical devices into these outlets. Select outlets provide surge
protection only for printers and other non-essential devices that draw large
amounts of power.
Communication Ports (USB and RS-232): These ports connect your
UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert
Software and included cables to enable your computer to automatically
save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. Also use
USB Port
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
RS-232 (DB9 port)
Communications" and "RS-232 Serial Communications" in the "Optional
Installation" section for installation instructions.
Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks protect your
equipment against surges over a telephone/network data line. Connecting
your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly
without this connection.
Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
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, networking management and connectivity products.
Fan: The fan cools the UPS's internal components. It operates only when
the UPS is in battery backup mode, is charging its batteries or is carrying
a heavy electrical load.
Input Breaker: Protect your electrical equipment from overcurrent draw
from the UPS load. If this breaker trips, remove some of the load, then
reset it by pressing the breaker in.
