Optional Installation These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections. 1 USB Communications Use the included USB cable to connect the USB port of your computer to the USB port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer's operating system. Your UPS may feature additional communications ports; these ports may also be connected to additional computers which have PowerAlert Software installed. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information. 2 RS-232 Serial Communications 1 If your computer is equipped with a DB9 serial port, use the included serial cable to connect the DB9 port of your computer to the DB9 port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer's operating system. Your UPS may feature additional communications ports; these ports may also be connected to additional computers which have PowerAlert Software installed. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information. 3 External Battery Connection 2 (select models) Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery system; external batteries are only needed to extend runtime. Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as well as runtime. The illustration (see 3a ) shows the location of your UPS's External Battery Connector, where you will insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery pack's owner's manual. Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during battery 3a connection; this is normal. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is running on battery power. If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery Charge Level Switch (see 3b ) to the up position. This will increase your UPS's charger output so the additional batteries charge faster. Note: the switch to the right of the Battery Charge Level Switch is inactive and will not affect UPS operation regardless of its position. 3b CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the up position without an external battery connected. There is a risk of damaging the UPS's internal battery system. 4 201112099 931874.indb 4 12/28/2011 4:44:07 PM

External Battery Connection
(select models)
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery system;
external batteries are only needed to extend runtime.
Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as
well as runtime.
The illustration (see
3a
) shows the location of your
UPS’s External Battery Connector, where you will insert
the battery pack cable. Complete installation instructions for
your battery pack appear in the battery pack’s owner’s
manual. Make sure that 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.
If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery
Charge Level Switch (see
3b
) to the up position. This
will increase your UPS’s charger output so the
additional batteries charge faster. Note: the switch to
the right of the Battery Charge Level Switch is inactive
and will not affect UPS operation regardless of its
position.
CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level
Switch to the up position without an external
battery connected. There is a risk of damaging the
UPS’s internal battery system.
