STEP 1: Plug the UPS into

a properly grounded outlet.

After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, press and

hold the power button next to the STATUS LEDs to

turn on the UPS (See Basic Operation).

Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the

presence of live utility power.

STEP 2: Plug your equipment

into the UPS.

There are two sets of outlets on the back of your

UPS. Outlets marked SURGE ONLY / do not

provide battery backup power during power outages.

Connect common desktop items like printers,

scanners and other accessories not requiring

battery support to these outlets. Outlets marked

BATTERY BACKUP / offer UPS battery backup

support during power failures. Connect your vital

computer equipment into these outlets.

Your UPS is designed to support electronic

equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the

total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment

connected to the BATTERY BACKUP / outlets

exceed the UPS output capacity. To ﬁnd your

equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates.

If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply

the number of amps by 120 to determine VA.

For example: 1A × 120 = 120VA. If you suspect

you have overloaded the outlets, remove some

equipment.

If the left-side green LED does not illuminate when

the UPS is turned ON, try the following:

1. Make sure that the UPS is plugged into a live AC

outlet.

2. Press and hold the power button next to the

STATUS LEDs to turn on the UPS. A beep should

sound when the UPS starts.

3. If the UPS still does not start, contact Tripp Lite

Tech Support for assistance.

Quick Installation

Optional Installation

Both UPS models include USB communication

ports and tel/DSL/Ethernet surge protection jacks

(not compatible with PoE applications). These

connections are optional, as the UPS will work

properly without these connections.

Basic Operation

UPS ON/OFF

• Plug the UPS into a live, grounded outlet.

The SURGE ONLY outlets will begin passing power.

• Plug equipment into the UPS.

You will overload the UPS if the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected

to the BATTERY BACKUP outlets exceed the UPS output capacity. To ﬁnd your equipment’s

VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the

number of amps by 120 to determine VA. For example:

1A × 120 = 120VA.

• Turn the UPS on.

Press and hold the power button next to the STATUS LEDs. The UPS alarm will beep once

brieﬂy and the left-side green LED will illuminate. The BATTERY BACKUP outlets will begin

passing AC line power. The UPS will automatically recharge internal batteries as needed.

Once turned on, your UPS is ready to protect connected equipment from blackouts,

brownouts, overvoltages and transient surges.

• Turn the UPS off.

Press and hold the power button next to the STATUS LEDs.

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.
