Tripp Lite Audio/Video Pure Sine Wave UPS System - Manual (Page 5)

5
Optional Connections (continued)
USB and RS-232 Serial
Communications
Use the included USB cable (see ) and/or DB9
serial cable (see ) to connect the UPS to a Media
Center PC, home automation system or server.
Install the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software
appropriate to your equipment's operating system.
Your UPS may feature two communication ports; the
additional port can be used to connect the UPS to a
second home entertainment or home automation PC
that has PowerAlert Software installed. For more
information, consult your PowerAlerts manual.
EPO Port Connection
(Select Models)
This optional feature is only for those applications
that require connection to a home automation/home
security Emergency Power Off (EPO) circuit. When
the UPS is connected to this circuit, it enables
emergency shutdown of the UPS's inverter. Using
the cable provided, connect the EPO port of your
UPS (see
) to a user-supplied normally closed or
normally open switch according to the circuit
diagram (see
). The EPO port is not a phone
line surge suppressor; do not connect a phone line
to this port.
External Battery Connection
Check to ensure that the external batteries you are
connecting match the voltage listed on your UPS's
battery connector. All UPS models come with a
robust internal battery system; all models feature
connectors that accept optional external battery
packs (sold separately from Tripp Lite) to provide
additional runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime. See the
battery pack owner's manual for complete
installation instructions. Make sure 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.
