Tripp Lite SMART1200LCD, User Manual

STEP 1:

 To install the UPS in a 4-post rack, attach the included 

mounting hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram 

A

. To mount 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 or rack enclosure with user-

supplied hardware. 

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. However, for added stability Tripp Lite recommends that 

the included hardware be attached as shown in diagram 

C

. The UPS 

and included hardware are designed for common rack and rack 

enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

STEP 2: Plug the UPS into a properly grounded outlet.

After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the

MODE

button for two 

seconds to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). 

The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence 

of live utility power. 

Note: 

UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however, 

maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has 
been charged for 24 hours.

STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.

* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload 
the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the outlets 
exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look 
on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number 

of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA).If you 
are unsure if you have overloaded the outlets, run a self-test (see Self-Test 
description in Basic Operation section).

STEP 4: Optional Installation. 

All models include USB and RS-232 communication ports as well as Tel/DSL/network surge 

protection jacks. These connections are optional; the UPS will work properly without these 

connections. See the connector's description in the Basic Operation section for connection 
instructions.

If the LINE POWER icon 

 does not illuminate when the UPS is turned ON, try the 

following:

1. Make sure the UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet.
2. Press the

MODE

button for 2 seconds to start the UPS. (A beep should sound when the  

  UPS starts.)
3. If the UPS still does not start, contact Tripp Lite Tech Support for assistance.
