Quick Installation - Tripp Lite BC800U Owner's Manual

Quick Installation

STEP 1: Plug the UPS into
a properly grounded outlet.
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, press and
hold the power button next to the STATUS LEDs to
turn on the UPS (See Basic Operation).
Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the
presence of live utility power.
STEP 2: Plug your equipment
into the UPS.
There are two sets of outlets on the back of your
UPS. Outlets marked SURGE ONLY /
provide battery backup power during power outages.
Connect common desktop items like printers,
scanners and other accessories not requiring
battery support to these outlets. Outlets marked
BATTERY BACKUP /
support during power failures. Connect your vital
computer equipment into these outlets.
Your UPS is designed to support electronic
equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the
total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment
connected to the BATTERY BACKUP /
exceed the UPS output capacity. To find your
equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates.
If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply
the number of amps by 120 to determine VA.
For example: 1A × 120 = 120VA. If you suspect
you have overloaded the outlets, remove some
equipment.
If the left-side green LED does not illuminate when
the UPS is turned ON, try the following:
1. Make sure that the UPS is plugged into a live AC
outlet.
2. Press and hold the power button next to the
STATUS LEDs to turn on the UPS. A beep should
sound when the UPS starts.
3. If the UPS still does not start, contact Tripp Lite
Tech Support for assistance.
