Owner's Manual SMX1500LCD Digital UPS System Not suitable for mobile applications. Español 3 6 Français 9 Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty. UPS Location Warnings • The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment, away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight. • Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. • Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty. UPS Connection Warnings •  Connect the UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS. •  Do not modify the plug of the UPS, and do not use an adapter that eliminates the ground connection of the UPS. •  Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. The warranty will be void if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect the UPS to an outlet. • If the UPS receives power from a motor-driven AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output. 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. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. • Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties. Battery Warnings •  The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. •  Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high shortcircuit current. Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com. • Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS. Quick Installation STEP 1: Place the UPS in a horizontal or vertical (tower) position. To install the UPS in a 4-post rack, attach the included hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram A . To install the UPS in a 2-post rack, attach the included hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram B . Then, using an assistant if necessary, lift the UPS and attach it to a standard rack with user-supplied hardware. Caution: If the UPS is installed in a rack, allow at least 2 cm (0.75 in.) clearance above and below the unit. If the UPS is placed flat on a surface, do NOT stack any other object directly on top of the unit. The UPS will stand in a tower position without the aid of the included hardware. For increased stability, however, Tripp Lite recommends attaching the included hardware as shown in diagram C . In either position, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before installation. The UPS and included hardware are designed for common rack types and may not be appropriate for all applications. The LCD display may be rotated to match the orientation of the UPS. Carefully insert a small tool in the slots at the side of the LCD to remove it from the UPS housing, then rotate the LCD and press it back into place. CAUTION: To balance the UPS safely when placed in a vertical position, make sure the LCD Display is located at the top of the front panel. Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power. *The UPS system does not include an input power cord. The user-supplied power cord should have an IEC-320-C13 connector (commonly found on detachable power cords for desktop computers) at one end in order to connect to the AC input of the UPS. **Use an outlet that doesn't share a circuit with a heavy electrical load such as an air conditioner or refrigerator. STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS. Insert the female connectors of the detachable power cords that came with the UPS system into the AC inputs of the attached equipment. Insert the male connectors into any of the UPS system's available outlets. The UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. Connected equipment will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment connected to the outlets exceeds the UPS Output Capacity. To find VA ratings, look at equipment nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 230 volts to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 230 volts = 230 VA). If unsure whether the outlets are overloaded, run a self-test (see "MUTE/TEST" Button description). STEP 4: Optional Installation. The UPS includes USB and RS-232 communication ports as well as Tel/DSL/Ethernet and Coaxial surge protection jacks. These connections are optional; the UPS will work properly without these connections. Not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications. A B C STEP 2: Connect a user-supplied power cord* to the UPS, then plug the UPS into a wall outlet.** After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on for 24 hours after initial installation to fully charge the internal battery. Connected equipment will receive utility-supplied AC power (if present) immediately after the UPS is plugged in and turned on, but connected equipment will not receive full battery backup in the event of a blackout or severe brownout unless the internal battery is fully charged. 1 200810036.indd 1 11/4/2008 2:22:40 PM
