Introduction

Your Tripp Lite 16/20kVA UPS system includes two 8/10kVA power modules along with a parallel PDU and communications cable that

combines the output of the two UPS power modules to directly power your equipment. Your UPS automatically supports N+1 fault tolerance

at load levels up to 50% and non-redundant operation at loads greater than 50%. The included parallel PDU with bypass switch also

enables hot-swappable replacement of either or both power modules without downtime. For additional conﬁguration assistance, contact

Tripp Lite.

10kVA Redundant Conﬁguration (10kVA max load) 20kVA Non-Redundant Conﬁguration (20kVA max load)

Redundant Operation YES

Fault-Tolerance YES

Hot-Swappable UPS Replacement YES

Increased Capacity NO

Redundant Operation NO

Fault-Tolerance NO

Hot-Swappable UPS Replacement YES

Increased Capacity YES

When two UPS systems are

loaded to a maximum of 50%,

your conﬁguration will receive full

redundancy—fault-tolerance with

full support for hot-swappable UPS

replacement in the case of sudden

UPS failure.

When two UPS systems are loaded to a maximum of 100%, your

conﬁguration will receive the full capacity of both UPS systems

combined to power larger loads. This conﬁguration does NOT

carry redundancy or fault-tolerance options. Hot-swappable UPS

replacement is possible if you put the PDU in bypass mode (See

“Manual Bypass Operation” Section).

To ensure fault-tolerance, load the two parallel UPS systems to a

maximum of 50% of the combined rating for both UPS systems. For

example, if you have two 10kVA UPS systems, you will have fault-

tolerant operation if the load level remains at 10kVA or lower.

Your can use this conﬁguration to grow your UPS power capacity to

16kVA (when two 8kVA UPS systems are used) or 20kVA (when two

10kVA UPS systems are used). In this conﬁguration, fault-tolerance

is NOT available.

For 16/20KVA UPS Conﬁgurations

• Economy-mode operation is not supported

• For best results, connect an equal number of external battery packs to each UPS power module.

Note: Use the included 8/10kVA power module manual for UPS operation and conﬁguration options once you have completed the setup of your 16/20kVA

UPS per the installation information on the following pages.

Important Safety Warnings

Location Warnings

• Install your PDU indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.

• Install your PDU in a structurally sound area. Your PDU is heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.

• Only operate your PDU at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor

temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the PDU for proper ventilation.

• Do not install the PDU near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the

life support equipment or to signiﬁcantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.

• When connecting to a UPS, the UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live when the UPS is not

connected to an AC supply.

Maintenance Warnings

• Your PDU does not require routine maintenance. Do not open for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Battery Warnings

• Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off or manually

bypassed via the PDU. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.

• Do not connect or disconnect battery module(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the detachable PDU is not in

bypass mode.

• During “hot-swap” battery module replacement your UPS will be unable to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout.

Hardwiring Cautions

• Wiring must be done by a qualiﬁed electrician.

• When making wiring connections, observe the cable connection regulations appropriate to your area [e.g. National Electrical Code (NEC) in

the U.S.] at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your installation wiring so you may cut off the UPS’s AC

input during ﬁres and other emergencies. Ensure that cables are ﬁtted with cable sleeves and are secured by connector clamps. Tighten

connections with a torque of not less than 24-28 inch-pounds (2.7-3.2 NM).

• Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.

• Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause ﬁre hazards. Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to

make wiring connections. Ground conductors must be the same size and type as the power conductors used.

• Refer to National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for proper wire gauge and output protection circuit requirements.

Manual Bypass Operation (for UPS maintenance or replacement)

WARNING! For qualiﬁed service personnel only. Failure to follow the bypass procedure completely will not

adequately power down the UPS, resulting in the continued risk of death or injury from potential contact

with high voltage. The UPS and detachable PDU are extremely heavy. This procedure requires several

people to perform. Please read the procedure completely before proceeding. Failure to follow the UPS

removal procedure correctly may result in a loss of power to the protected load.

The UPS system includes an independent, detachable PDU with a Maintenance Breaker Switch. This switch allows qualiﬁed service

personnel to remove the detachable PDU from the UPS for routine maintenance without disrupting power to connected loads. While this

switch is set to “BYPASS”, connected equipment will receive unﬁltered AC mains power. However, equipment will not receive battery power in

the event of a blackout.

Connection

3Power ON the primary power module, being sure that all output

breakers (SUPDMB20K, SUPDMB20KIEC & SUPDMB20K8)

are OFF.

4After primary power module start-up is complete, power ON

the secondary power module. The UPS systems will self detect

the Parallel Mode and show the following screen shots for the

master and slave power modules:

When the unit is in Parallel Mode the primary power module

will display “Parallel: Master” and the secondary power module

will display “Parallel: Slave”.

5Once Parallel Mode is detected, turn ON all output breakers

(SUPDMB20K, SUPDMB20KIEC & SUPDMB20K8) on the PDU.

UPS Removal

STEP 1. Disable PowerAlert and disconnect the SNMP, serial or USB communication cables from the communication ports on the UPS. Do

NOT remove the parallel cable at this point. A disconnection of the cable before the power module is properly shut down can result

in multiple error messages depending on your conﬁguration.

STEP 2. Before proceeding, determine your maintenance status (i.e. which UPS system requires maintenance and whether you are in

Redundancy or Power Mode per the Output/Bypass Breaker Operation chart on page 9).
