Installation
Connection and Start-Up
1
Plug your UPS’s line cord into an
electrical outlet.
Your UPS must be connected to a dedicated
circuit of sufficient amperage. Note, however,
that the select models may be fitted with
different plug types. Refer to the “OP Rating/
Plug Rating” chart printed on the top of your
UPS.
Once your UPS is plugged in, the fan and all
Indicator Lights will turn ON. The “LINE” and
“LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs will illuminate
and the UPS will emit a beep to indicate normal
operation. However, power is not supplied to
your UPS’s AC outlets until the UPS is turned on.
Your model may differ.

Plug your equipment into your UPS.
Your UPS is designed to support audio/video
systems and their associated servers, Media
Center PCs, and a Tripp Lite HT3100PC Power
Conditioning Center only. The total number of
components connected should not exceed UPS
capacity. This will overload your UPS system.
You will also overload your UPS if you connect
household appliances to the UPS's outlets.
Your model may differ.

Check to ensure that the external batteries you
are connecting match the voltage listed on
your UPS's battery connector. All UPS models
come with a robust internal battery system; all
models feature connectors that accept optional
external battery packs (sold separately from
Tripp Lite) to provide additional runtime.
Adding external batteries will increase
recharge time as well as runtime. See the
battery pack owner's manual for complete
installation instructions. Make sure cables are
fully inserted into their connectors. Small
sparks may result during battery connection;
this is normal. Do not connect or disconnect
battery packs when the UPS is running on
battery power.

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.
Alarm Silence
To silence the UPS “on-battery” alarm, press this button and hold it
until you hear a beep.
UPS Cold Start
To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC power is
unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), press this button and hold it until
you hear a beep. The UPS will then provide battery power to its outlets.*
* The “ON BATT” Indicator Light will be illuminated since your UPS will be operating
from battery power.
“OFF” Button: This button turns power OFF at the UPS receptacles.
Press this switch, hold it until you hear a beep, then release it. The
UPS will continue charging and the fan will continue to cool internal
components even after you turn the UPS receptacles off. To turn the
UPS OFF completely, including the charger, disconnect the UPS’s
power cord after pressing the “OFF” switch.
Front Panel Indicator Lights
“ON LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate
the UPS is performing normal on-line operation (filtering and
resynthesizing incoming AC line voltage to provide pure sine wave
output). When this light is illuminated, you can monitor the load level
of your UPS on the “LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs.
“LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate
the utility supplied AC line voltage at your wall outlet is nominal. It
will flash if the line voltage is outside the nominal range (either too
low or two high). No action is required on your part when the LED
flashes; the UPS continuously and automatically filters AC line
power to provide your equipment with pure sine wave AC power,
regardless of brownout or overvoltage conditions. If this light is off,
then AC line voltage is not present (blackout) or is at an extremely
high voltage, and the UPS will provide connected equipment with
power from battery.

(continued)
Basic Operation
continued
Front Panel Indicator Lights
“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. During normal operation this LED will light briefly when the
unit is plugged in, but if an internal fault or overload occurs this light
will flash constantly to show that connected equipment will receive
filtered AC mains power, but will not receive battery power during a
blackout. In this case, contact Tripp Lite for service.
“FAULT” LED (select models only): This red light will flash when
your UPS detects an internal fault (overheating, overvoltages, etc.) or
when it detects a wiring fault in your wall outlet (reversed phases,
missing ground, etc.) The UPS will only detect wiring faults when it
is plugged into a utility outlet but not turned ON. If the light persists
after restarting the UPS, contact an electrician to check the AC line.
Your UPS will identify the presence of most (but not all) wiring faults.
“LOAD ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is receiving AC power to indicate that the set of four
dual-function LEDs is displaying the load level of your UPS.
“BATT ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is operating from battery power to indicate that the
set of four dual-function LEDs is displaying the battery charge level
of your UPS. Note: the “ON BATT” LED will also be illuminated.
“OVERLOAD” LED: This red light will illuminate constantly to indicate
that your UPS’s capacity has been exceeded while it is in on-line operation.
The UPS alarm will beep continuously. Immediately remove overload
until light and alarm goes off. If you do not immediately remove the
overload, the UPS will transfer from on-line to bypass operation.
“BATT LOW” LED: This yellow light will illuminate when your UPS’s
battery charge level is low. The UPS alarm will beep until either the
battery charge is depleted or the batteries are adequately recharged.
“ON BATT” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to
indicate that AC line voltage is not present and your UPS is providing
your equipment with battery power. The UPS will also beep every two
seconds, unless silenced by the “ON/TEST” Button. When this light
is illuminated, you can monitor the battery charge level of your UPS
on the “BATT ACTIVE METER” LEDs.

(continued)
Basic Operation
continued
Front Panel Indicator Lights
“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. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for
service.

runtime. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support at (773) 869-1234 for
the appropriate Tripp Lite battery pack to connect. Refer to
instructions available with the Battery Pack for complete connection
information and safety warnings.
Fan: The fan cools the UPS’s internal components. It is always on
when line power is present.
Input Circuit Breaker Switch: This resettable breaker prevents high
input current from damaging the UPS or the attached load. If this
breaker trips, make sure your UPS is connected to AC power of the
proper voltage before resetting the circuit breaker by pushing the
breaker switch in.
Ground Screw: Use this to connect any equipment that requires a
chassis ground.
Output Circuit Breakers Switches (Select Models Only): These
resettable circuit breakers protect your UPS from output overload. If
one or both breakers trip, remove some of the load on the circuit(s)
and allow the UPS to cool before pressing the breaker switch(es) in
to reset.

Rear Panel
Input Cord: This permanently attached power cord connects your
UPS to a power outlet.
AC Receptacles (Varied by Model): These 15-, 20- and 30-amp
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. Power provided at
these outlets is filtered to protect connected equipment against
damaging surges and line noise. The receptacles are divided into
numbered load banks, as labelled on the unit. Using PowerAlert
software and cabling, load banks one and two may be individually
turned off and on from a remote location, allowing users to reset or
reboot connected equipment.

NEMA 5-15/20R
Other outlet types not shown
Telephone or Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks
protect your equipment against surges over a telephone line or
telephone/network data line, depending on model. Connecting your
equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly
without this connection. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Communications
Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect your
UPS to any Media Center PC or home automation system. Use with
Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and included cables to enable your
Media Center PC, home automation system or server to automatically
save system settings and shut down equipment during a blackout.
Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide variety of AC line
power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your PowerAlert
Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more
information. See “USB and RS-232 Serial Communications” in the
“Optional Connections” section for installation instructions.
Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of
electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port's pin
assignments are shown in the diagram. If the UPS battery is low, the
UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1 and 5. If utility power fails, the
UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down
remotely, short pin 3~pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds.
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: Your UPS features a EPO port
that may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to
enable emergency inverter shutdown. See Optional Installation.
