Basic Operation continued Power Sensitivity Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counter-clockwise, which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too frequently, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to moderate waveform distortion by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power's AC waveform. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting with different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS's output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.

Basic Operation
continued
Power Sensitivity Adjustment:
This dial is normally set fully counter-clockwise,
which enables the UPS to provide maximum protection against waveform distortions
in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to
providing sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the
distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power
comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS
to switch to battery too frequently, draining its battery reserves.You may be able to
reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to moderate waveform distortion
by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise,
the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform.
NOTE:
The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of
waveform distortion the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When
experimenting with different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a
safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the
UPS’s output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.
External Battery Connector (optional):
Use to connect Tripp Lite external battery
packs for additional runtime. Refer to instructions available with the battery pack for
complete connection information and safety warnings.
Battery Charge Level Switches:
Controls the UPS system’s
battery charge rate. If you connect any external batteries, set the
Battery Charge Level Switches to the down position (High Charge
Rate - External Battery). This will increase your UPS’s charger
output so the additional batteries charge faster.
CAUTION! DO
NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switches to the down
position (High Charge Rate - External Battery) without an
external battery connected. There is a risk of damaging the
UPS’s internal battery system.
Input Breaker(s) (all models):
Protect your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw
from the UPS load. If these breakers trip, remove some of the load, then reset them
by pressing the breaker(s) in.
Output Breaker (select models):
Your UPS features one or more breakers that
protect your UPS from output overload. If one or more breakers trip, remove some
of the load on the circuit(s), then reset them by pressing the breaker switch(es) in.
Ground Screw:
Use this to connect any equipment that requires a chassis ground.
