Storage
All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery
drain. Unplug your UPS from its AC receptacle. CAUTION: Your UPS has an internal
power source. Its outlets may still deliver current after it is unplugged, until the UPS is
deactivated. To deactivate the UPS, press and hold its UPS/STANDBY button. Your UPS is
now ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period of time, fully
recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet
and letting the UPS charge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an
extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Service
If returning your UPS for service, contact your local Tripp Lite dealer or distributor. They will
refer you to a service center. Please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING
MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem.
If the UPS is within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.

Power Sensitivity Adjustment (Select Models Only)
This dial is normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the
UPS to protect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When
such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing
PWM sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the
distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the
UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform
distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too frequently,
draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your
UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion by experimenting
with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the
UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC
waveform. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the
greater the degree of waveform distortion the UPS will allow to pass
to connected equipment. When experimenting with different settings
for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that
the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s
output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.
Automatic Voltage Regulation
During brownouts, your UPS will automatically correct low AC line
voltage. Select models also correct high line voltage during overvolt-
age conditions. When automatic voltage regulation is operating, your
UPS may be heard to click gently. This is a normal, automatic opera-
tion of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
