Other UPS Features (Back Panel)
AC Receptacles:
Your UPS features 15-amp AC outlets, and select models
also feature 20-amp and 30-amp AC outlets. These output receptacles
provide your connected equipment with AC line power during normal
operation and battery power during blackouts and brownouts. The UPS
protects equipment connected to these receptacles against damaging surges
and line noise. If you have a serial or USB connection to your UPS, you can
remotely reboot connected equipment by turning the receptacles OFF and
ON using Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software. Select models have their
receptacles divided into one or more load banks (labeled “LOAD 1,” etc.)
which may be remotely switched OFF and ON using Tripp Lite UPS
software without interrupting power to equipment connected to the other
outlets. See software instructions for details.
Communication Ports (USB or RS-232):
These ports connect your UPS to
any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and
included cables to enable your computer to automatically save open files and
shut down equipment during a blackout. Also use PowerAlert Software to
monitor a wide variety of AC line power and UPS operating conditions.
Consult your PowerAlert Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer
Support for more information. See “USB Communications” and “RS-232
Serial Communications” in the “Optional Installation” section for installation
instructions.
EPO Port (select models):
Your UPS features a EPO port that may be used
to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to enable emergency inverter
shutdown. See “EPO Port Connection” in the “Optional Installation”
section.
Battery Replacement Door:
Under normal conditions, the original battery
in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be
performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings”
in the Safety section. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit
Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to
locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
