Feature Identification

Identify the premium features on your specific model and quickly locate instructions on how to maximize their use.

Configuration DIP

Switches:

optimize UPS System

operation depending on your application. See Configuration 
section for setting instructions.

Operating Mode Switch:

controls UPS System operation. 

See Operation section for setting instructions.

“LINE”, “INVERT”, “LOAD” LEDs:

show whether the UPS

System is operating from AC line  power or DC battery power.
It also warns you if the connected equipment load is too high. See
Operation section for instructions on reading the indicator lights.

“BATT VOLT/CHRG CURR” LEDs: 

these three lights will turn

ON in several sequences to show two separate operational condi-
tions depending on the position of the Operating Mode Switch. See
Operation section for instructions on reading indicator lights.

DC Power Terminals:

connect to your battery terminals. See 

Battery Connection section for instructions.

AC Receptacles (not on hardwire models):

allow you to connect

equipment that would normally be plugged into a utility outlet. 

AC Input Cord (not on hardwire models):

connects the 

UPS System to any source of utility- or generator-supplied 
AC power. See AC Input/Output Connection section for instructions.

Hardwire AC Input/Output Terminals (not on corded 
models):

securely connect the UPS System to electrical system

input and equipment output. See AC Input/Output Connection
section for instructions.

Resettable Circuit Breaker:

protect your UPS System against

damage due to overload. See Operation section for resetting
instructions.

Main Ground Lug:

properly grounds the UPS System to

earth ground. See Configuration section for instructions.

Multi-Speed Cooling Fan:

quiet, efficient fan prolongs equipment

service life.

Hardwire AC Input/Output Cover Plate

Battery Temperature Sensing Connector (not on TMU612
models):

prolongs battery life by adjusting charge based on bat-

tery temperature. Use with included cable. See Configuration
section for details.

Low Battery Relay (not on TMU612 models):  

when battery

reaches low voltage, this relay can signal traffic controller to go
to flashing red mode or to send low battery alert to your control
center. See Configuration section for details.

Optional Features for alternate uses of Tripp Lite Traffic
MOVE-UPS

Tripp Lite’s TMU UPS models are versatile and can be used in
mobile applications as well, such as running AC power tools in
municipal maintenance trucks or police command vehicles.
The features listed below are available for such alternate uses.

Remote Control Module Connector:

designed only for mobile

applications, this connector allows remote control from up to 50
feet away with optional module, sold separately. If required,
contact Tripp Lite for further information.

Load Sense Dial (not on TMU612 models):

designed only for

mobile applications, this dial sets the low load level at which the
UPS System’s inverter automatically shuts down. To guard
against inadvertent inverter shutdown, Tripp Lite recommends
you leave the dial in its factory default setting (fully clockwise).
If required, contact Tripp Lite for further information.
