Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty. UPS Location Warnings • I nstall your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight. • F or best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
Installation Mounting Rack Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure (see next page for 2-post mounting). 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.
Installation (continued) 2-Post (Telecom) Mounting If you mount 2U UPS models in 2-post racks, they require the addition of a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM, sold separately). See Installation Kit owner’s manual for installation procedure for 2U UPS models. Mounting (Tower) Your UPS can be mounted in an upright tower position with optional base stands sold separately by Tripp Lite (Model # 2-9USTAND).
Installation Important (continued) Safety Instructions Connection and Start-Up (continued) 3 Turn the UPS ON: • Press the ON/TEST Switch and hold it for several seconds until you hear a beep • Release the ON/TEST Switch. The ON LINE LED will illuminate, and your UPS will begin providing power to its AC outlets Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup, however, maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.
INPUT BREAKER Installation (continued) Optional Connections (continued) 2 USB and RS-232 Serial Communications ACC. SLOT INPUT BREAKER Use the included USB cable (see 2a ) and/or DB9 serial cable (see 2b ) to connect the communication port of your computer to the communication port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer's operating system.
Basic Operation Front Panel Switches “ON/TEST” Button: This switch controls four separate UPS functions: UPS Power ON: To turn the UPS on, press this button, hold it for several seconds until you hear a beep, then release it. The “ON LINE” LED will illuminate. UPS Self-Test: During normal on-line operation, press this button and hold it until you hear a beep. This initiates a 10-second self-test of the battery. The UPS will shift to battery power (all LEDs will illuminate) for ten seconds.
Basic Operation Front Panel Indicator Lights (continued) continued “BYPASS” LED: This yellow light will flash to indicate that the UPS’s DC/AC inverter is deactivated and the UPS is in the “Bypass” mode.
Basic Operation Front Panel Indicator Lights (continued) continued “REPLACE BATT” LED: This red light will illuminate constantly and the UPS alarm will beep every 2 seconds if your UPS’s microprocessor detects a battery fault or if your UPS fails the automatic self-test (after you turn your UPS ON) and the UPS battery is less than fully charged. Let the UPS system charge for at least 12 hours and perform a self test using the “ON/TEST Button” as described on page 7.
Basic Operation Rear Panel (continued) continued Input Cord Connection: This IEC320-C20 or IEC320-C14 inlet enables the UPS to be connected to an AC power source via a user-supplied cord with country-specific plug. See "Connection and Start-Up". IEC320-C20 IEC320-C14 IEC320-C13 AC Receptacles (Varied by Model): These receptacles provide your connected equipment with pure sine-wave AC output from the AC line during normal operation and from battery power during blackouts and severe brownouts.
Troubleshooting The UPS’s control panel lights will turn on in the sequences below to signal that the UPS is having operational difficulties. Lights (On/Flashing) and Condition Solution On: REPLACE BATT Condition: Replace Battery Let the UPS system charge for at least 12 hours and perform a self test using the "ON/Test Switch" as described on page 7. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service. On: BATT LOW, ON BATT Condition: Battery Low Prepare for imminent UPS shutdown.
Troubleshooting (continued) Lights (On/Flashing) and Condition Solution Flashing: LINE Condition: Input Abnormal This indicates that utility power is too high or low for the UPS to operate in BYPASS mode, so if an inverter failure occurs, the UPS will deliver no output. On: FAULT, 50% Flashing: LINE Condition: No Output due to High Output Voltage and Abnormal Input Restart the UPS. If the problem persists, contact Tripp Lite for repairs.
Battery Replacement Under normal conditions, the original batteries in your UPS will last many years. See "Important Safety Instructions" before replacing batteries. The batteries are designed for hotswap replacement (i.e. leaving the UPS in ON mode), but some qualified service personnel may wish to put the UPS in the OFF mode and disconnect equipment before proceeding.
Storage and Service Storage First turn your UPS OFF: press the “OFF” switch to turn power off at the UPS outlets, then disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Next, 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 4-6 hours.
