Optional Installation
These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.
• USB Communications
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
appropriate for your operating system from
www.tripplite.com and install it on your computer.
•
RS-232 Serial Communications
(Select Models Only)
Use the serial cable provided with your UPS to
connect the DB9 port of your computer to the DB9
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
(Select Models Only)
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery
system; external batteries are only needed to extend
runtime. Adding external batteries will increase
recharge time as well as runtime. The illustration
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's 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 more than one external battery, set the
Battery Charge Level Switch to the "EXTERNAL
BATTERY" position. This will increase your UPS's
charger output so the additional batteries charge faster.
CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level
Switch to the "EXTERNAL BATTERY" position
without an external battery connected. There is a
risk of damaging the UPS's internal battery system.
