Connection (continued) 5 Plug Your Equipment into the PDU's Outlets Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload your UPS if the total VA rating for all the equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's output capacity. Do not connect household appliances or laser printers to the UPS's outlets. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by the input voltage (240V or 208V) to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). 6 Turn UPS OFF (Optional) 1. Press the control panel's "OFF" button K until you hear a beep, then release the button. The 5 LCD screen H will display "BYPASS MODE". The inverter is now turned off, but the UPS system is not fully deactivated and the load is still energized. 2. Turn off the Output Circuit Breakers M located on the detachable PDU. The load will no longer be energized and the LCD screen H will be dark. 3. Turn off the breaker for the UPS system's utility power source. The UPS system is now turned off and the LCD screen H will be dark. 7 UPS Cold Start (Optional) During a blackout or other input power failure, the UPS system can be "cold started" from battery. (The battery must be at least partially charged.) Note: The UPS system's output settings cannot be configured while operating from battery. It will use the previously configured output settings. 1. Make sure the PDU modules manual bypass switch L is set to the "NORMAL" position. 2. Turn on the Output Circuit Breakers on PDU module M . 3. Press the control panel's "ON" button I until the UPS system beeps, then release the button. The UPS system's inverter will begin to operate. Note: Some electronic equipment draws more current at startup. When starting from battery, consider reducing the initial load. 4. The UPS system will perform a brief self-test and show the results on the control panel LEDs and LCD screen H . See "Startup Self-Test" in the "Operation" section for the display sequence. 5. After the self-test is complete, the LCD screen H should display "ON BATTERY MODE" and an alarm should sound. 6. The UPS system will now provide power to connected equipment until the battery is discharged. Optional Connection The following connections are optional. Your UPS system will function properly without these connections. 1 USB and RS-232 Serial Communication Connection Use the included USB cable 1a or RS-232 DB9 serial cable 1b to connect the communication port of your computer to the communication port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer's operating system. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information. 1a USB Communication Port Note: The USB port may be used to connect your UPS to a workstation or server. It is used with TrippLite software and the included USB cable to monitor and manage the UPS remotely over a network and to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. See "Optional Connection" for details. For USB communications, both DIP switches must be in the ON position. This will disable the RS-232 port. 1b 8 201102160 93-2897.indb 8 3/30/2011 9:30:45 AM
