be connected to additional computers which
have PowerAlert Software installed. Consult your
PowerAlert manual for more information.

If your computer is equipped with a DB9 serial
port, use the included serial cable to connect the
DB9 port of your computer to the DB9 port of
your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite
PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer’s
operating system. Your UPS may feature additional
communications ports; these ports may also
be connected to additional computers which
have PowerAlert Software installed. Consult your
PowerAlert manual for more information.

External Battery Connection
(select models)
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery
system; external batteries are only needed to
extend runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime.
The illustration (see
3a
) shows the location of your
UPS’s External Battery Connector, where you will
insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation
instructions for your battery pack appear in the
battery pack’s owner’s manual. Make sure that
cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small
sparks may result during battery connection; this is
normal.
Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when
the UPS is running on battery power.

If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery Charge Level Switch (see
3b
) to
the up position. This will increase your UPS’s charger output so the additional
batteries charge faster.
Note: the switch to the right of the Battery Charge Level Switch is inactive and will not
affect UPS operation regardless of its position.
CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the up position
without an external battery connected. There is a risk of damaging the UPS’s
internal battery system.
