Select UPS system modules may include separate instruction or warning sheets which should be used in conjunction with this manual.
Important Safety Warnings SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of all Tripp Lite SmartOnline Rackmount/Tower UPS Systems and their batteries. UPS Location Warnings • Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants. • Install your UPS in a structurally sound area. Your UPS is extremely heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.
Mounting (Rack) Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure.The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.
Mounting (Tower) All modules can be mounted in an upright, tower position when used with optional adjustable base stands, sold separately from Tripp Lite (model #: 2-9USTAND). When mounting modules on the adjustable base stands, make sure that the power module's control panel is towards the top. Also, if you are installing a transformer module, place it between the power module and its battery module.
Features There are three separate UPS system modules available from Tripp Lite (a power module, a transformer module and a battery module) used in a variety of combinations. Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the features on each module before installing and operating your UPS system. The power module is the only module which includes front panel features. 11 Power Module Front Panel Controls 10 9 8 7 6 12 12 1 2 3 4 5 1.

Scroll through the setup options (using A or B ) and select the appropriate setting for each of the following options using the “SELECT” button B . • Input & Output Voltage: Select 200, 208 or 240 VAC. • Output Frequency: Your UPS will autoselect 50 or 60 Hz to match the input.
Power ON/OFF (6kVA and 10kVA models only) 1. Configure your UPS’s input and output: Put your UPS power module into setup mode by holding down both of its scroll buttons ( A and B ) at once. Scroll through the setup options (using A or B ) and select the appropriate setting for each of the following options using the “SELECT” button B . • Input & Output Voltage: Select 200, 208 or 240 VAC. • Output Frequency: Your UPS will autoselect 50 or 60 Hz to match the input.
Manual Bypass Operation (6kVA and 10kVA models only) (for power module maintenance or replacement) The following procedure only applies to UPS system configurations that include a 6kVA or 10kVA transformer module. The procedure details how to service or replace the power module while supplying equipment connected to the transformer module with utility power.
Operation Startup Self-Test When you turn the UPS ON, it will enter Diagnostic Mode and perform a brief self-test lasting about 15 seconds. The results of the self-test are shown on the LCD screen in the sequence below.
Operation continued Normal Operation During normal operation, the first line of your LCD Display shows which operating mode your UPS is in: Online, Economy, On Battery, or Bypass. Online mode: The UPS provides AC power while utility power is available and switches to On Battery mode instantly (zero transfer time) if AC power is interrupted. Economy mode: The UPS provides AC power at high efficiency while utility power is available and switches to On Battery mode quickly if AC power is interrupted.
Operation continued Bypass Messages While in Bypass Mode, the UPS monitors its input voltage and passes that input power along to connected equipment. The UPS will not provide battery backup in Bypass Mode. If the output voltage deviates from an acceptable range (between 15% higher and 20% lower than nominal), the UPS displays the condition on its LCD and stops supplying output power to its load.
Storage, Service, Warranty, Warranty Registration and Insurance Storage Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF. If you store your UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries for 4 to 6 hours once every three months. Note: after you connect the UPS to utility power, it will automatically begin charging its batteries. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Specifications The models listed below include a power module, one or two battery modules, and a transformer module. All models include all three types of modules, with the exception of hardwired (HV) models, which do not include transformer modules. Depending on the model ordered, the included battery module may be either expandable or nonexpandable.
