Quick Installation

STEP 1: Plug the UPS into a properly grounded outlet

After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, press and hold the power button for one second 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 PROTECTED 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 & SURGE offer UPS battery backup support during power failures. Connect your vital computer equipment to 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/SURGE-PROTECTED outlets exceed the UPS output capacity.
To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look at 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, check the Load Meter screens (see Display UPS/Power Conditions in Basic Operation).

Optional Installation

All 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.

If the online AC power icon does not illuminate when the UPS is turned ON, try the following.

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

Press and hold the power buttonfor one second to turn on the UPS. A beep should sound when the UPS starts.
If the UPS still does not start, contact Tripp Lite Tech Support for assistance.
