Important Safety Instructions  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!  
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite  
UPS Systems.  
Location Warnings  
• Install your UPS System (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to  
heat, dust, direct sunlight and moisture.  
• Although your UPS System is moisture resistant, it is NOT waterproof. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short circuit  
and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse the unit, and avoid any area where standing water might  
accumulate. Mounting should be in the driest location available.  
• Leave a minimum of 2" clearance at front and back of the UPS System for proper ventilation. To avoid automatic UPS System  
shutdown due to overtemperature, any compartment that contains the UPS System must be properly ventilated with adequate  
outside air flow. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.  
• Do not install near flammable materials, fuel or chemicals.  
Battery Connection Warnings  
• The UPS System will not operate (with or without utility power) until batteries are connected.  
• Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of identical voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.  
• Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries if they are not kept well ventilated, your batteries should not be  
installed (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a “dead air” compartment. Ideally, any compartment would have some  
ventilation to outside air.  
• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as batteries are connected.  
• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury  
or property damage could result.  
Equipment Connection Warnings  
Do not use a Tripp Lite UPS System in life support or healthcare applications where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite  
UPS System could cause failure of, or significantly alter the performance of, a life support device or medical equipment.  
• Corded models: Do not modify the UPS System’s plug or receptacle in a way that eliminates its ground connection. Do not use  
power adapters that will eliminate the plug’s ground connection.  
• Connect your UPS System only to a properly grounded AC power outlet or hardwired source. Do not plug the unit into itself; this  
will damage the device and void your warranty.  
You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the output of  
the UPS System.  
Operation Warnings  
Your UPS System does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the device for any reason. There are no user serviceable parts inside.  
• Potentially lethal voltages exist within the UPS System as long as the battery supply and/or AC input are connected. During any  
service work, the battery supply and AC input connection (if any) should therefore be disconnected.  
• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the UPS System is operating in either inverting or charging mode. Dangerous arcing may  
result. Operating Mode Switch should be in the OFF position.

Operation  
“BATT VOLT/CHRG CURR” LEDs: If the switch is in the  
“AUTO/REMOTE” position (normal setting for traffic applica-  
tions), the LEDs indicate the approximate charge level and voltage  
of your connected battery bank and alert you to several fault condi-  
tions. See Chart for charge and voltage levels.*  
Switch Modes  
After configuring, mounting and connecting your UPS System, you  
are able to operate it by switching between the following operating  
modes as appropriate to your situation:  
AUTO/REMOTE: Switch to this mode when you  
need constant, uninterrupted AC power for connected  
lights, controllers or other equipment. Properly  
installed and maintained, the UPS System will contin-  
ue to pass-through AC power to connected equipment  
and to charge your connected batteries while utility- or generator-  
supplied AC power is present. Since the inverter is ON (but in  
Standby) in this mode, it will automatically switch to your battery  
system to supply inverter AC power to connected equipment in the  
absence of a utility/generator source or in over/under voltage situa-  
tions, such as in blackouts or brownouts.  
* When used in alternate mobile applications, the LEDs can indicate charge rate when the  
Operating Mode Switch is in the "Charge-Only" position. However, in traffic signal or  
security/wireless applications, the Operating Mode Switch should never be set to the "Charge-  
Only" position.

OFF: Switch to this mode to shut down the UPS  
System completely, preventing the inverter from draw-  
ing power from the batteries, and preventing utility AC  
from passing through to connected equipment or  
charging the batteries. Use this switch to automatically  
reset the unit if it shuts down due to overload or overheating. First  
remove the excessive load or allow the unit to sufficiently cool  
(applicable to your situation). Switch to “OFF”, then back to  
“AUTO/REMOTE”. If unit fails to reset, remove more load or allow  
unit to cool further and retry.

Resetting Your UPS System to Restore  
AC Power  
If the operating mode switch is set to “CHARGE ONLY”, this light  
will BLINK to alert you that the unit’s inverter is OFF and will NOT  
supply AC power in the absence of a utility/generator source or in  
over/under voltage situations.  
Your UPS System may cease supplying AC power or DC charging  
power under certain conditions, especially in order to protect itself  
from overload or to protect your electrical system. To restore normal  
functioning:  
“INV” (Inverting) Yellow LED: This light will  
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY whenever connect-  
ed equipment is receiving battery-supplied, inverted  
AC power (in the absence of a utility/generator source  
or in over/under voltage situations). This light will be  
off when AC power is supplying the load. This light will BLINK to  
alert you if the load is less than the Battery Charge Conserver (Load  
Sense) setting.  
Overload Reset: Switch operating mode switch to “OFF” and  
remove some of the connected electrical load (ie: turn off some of  
the AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload  
of the unit). Wait one minute, then switch operating mode switch  
back to “AUTO/REMOTE.”  
Output Circuit Breaker Reset: Alternatively, check output circuit  
breaker(s) on the unit's front panel. If tripped, remove some of the elec-  
trical load, then wait one minute to allow components to cool before  
resetting the circuit breaker. See Troubleshooting for other possible  
reasons AC output may be absent.  
“LOAD” Red LED: This red light will ILLUMI-  
NATE CONTINUOUSLY whenever the inverter is  
functioning and the power demanded by connected  
equipment exceeds 100% of load capacity. (Be sure to  
size your UPS model properly for the traffic signal or  
other loads it is expected to support.) The light will BLINK to alert  
you when the inverter shuts down due to a severe overload or over-  
heating. If this happens, turn the operating mode switch “OFF”;  
remove the overload and let the unit cool. You may then turn the  
operating mode switch to “AUTO/REMOTE” after it has adequate-  
ly cooled. This light will be off when AC power is supplying  
the load.  
Check Battery Voltage: Your UPS is designed to keep your connect-  
ed batteries constantly charged, so long as utility/generator power is  
present. In the absence of utility/generator power, or as a result of  
poor battery maintenance, low battery voltage may prevent AC out-  
put. As applicable, recharge or replace battery.

Select Load Sharing—OPTIONAL  
Your UPS System features a battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or generator when  
charging at its maximum rate. To help ensure that your unit is supplying sufficient AC power rating to its connected electrical loads, the charger’s  
draw is limited by factory settings as indicated below. Tripp Lite advises against altering these settings in traffic signal UPS applications.  
Failure to limit the charger's draw in combination with undersizing the UPS for connected loads could trip the AC input circuit breaker, result-  
ing in interruption of pass-through utility power. To keep the sum of the unit’s AC load and charge power within the circuit breaker rating,  
this charger-limiting function has four settings, allowing you to reduce the charger’s draw lower and lower, as needed, if the AC input circuit  
breaker keeps tripping under the normal AC loads of devices you have connected downline from the unit. The figures show how to set your  
DIP Switches to determine how heavy the connected load can be on your UPS System before charger-limiting begins.  
Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points—OPTIONAL  
“Least Limiting” (#B2 Down & #B1 Up,  
applicable only to 2012 models): Charger-  
limiting begins when the UPS System’s  
load reaches 66% of the UPS System’s load  
rating. Charger output falls gradually from  
full output at 66% of the UPS System’s load rating to about 40% of  
full output at full load. This setting IS NOT recommended for traf-  
fic signal UPS applications  
B4 B3 B2 B1  
“Most Limiting” (#B2 & #B1 Up, factory  
B4 B3 B2 B1  
setting for 2012 and 1012 models):  
Charger-limiting takes effect the moment  
any 120V AC load is applied; charger out-  
put falls gradually from full output at no  
120V load passing through to no output at full load.  
“Less Limiting” (#B2 Up & #B1 Down):  
“No Limiting” (#B2 & #B1 Down): No  
charger-limiting occurs at any load size.  
B4 B3 B2 B1  
Charger-limiting begins when the UPS  
System’s load reaches 33% of the UPS  
System’s load rating. Charger output falls  
gradually from full output at 33% of the  
UPS System’s load rating to about 40% of  
full output at full load.

• Move to “Equalize” (DOWN) position for three seconds.  
This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to  
begin the process of equalizing the charge  
state of your battery’s cells by time-limited  
overcharge of all cells. This can extend the  
useful life of certain types of batteries; con-  
sult with your battery’s manufacturer to determine if your batteries  
could benefit from this process. The charge equalization process is  
automatic; once started, it can only be stopped by removing the  
input power.  
B4 B3 B2 B1 Reset  
• Move to “Reset” (UP) position and leave it there. This is the

Connect Battery Temperature Sensing Cable (1012 and 2012 models only)  
The battery temperature sensing function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge float voltage level based on battery temperature. Connect  
the sensor cable (the cable, included with select models, has an RJ style connector on one end and a black sensor on the other) to the RJ  
style jack located on the side of the UPS System labeled “Remote Temp. Sense.” With user-supplied electrical or duct tape, affix the sensor to  
the side of the battery below the electrolyte level. Make sure that nothing, not even tape, comes between the sensor and the side of the battery.  
To guard against false readings due to ambient temperature, place the sensor between batteries, if possible, or away from sources of extreme  
heat or cold. If the sensor cable is not used, the UPS System will charge according to its default 25º C values.

Battery Selection  
Select Battery Type  
Select batteries suitable for functionality within the ambient temperature ranges of your battery or traffic signal controller cabinets. Select  
“Deep Cycle” batteries to receive optimum performance from your UPS System. For lower initial costs in extreme climates, ordinary car  
or starting batteries or batteries rated in Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) may appeal, but are likely to offer a more limited number of backup  
events prior to failing (in which event AC output power would be interrupted). If the batteries you connect to the UPS System are not true  
Deep Cycle batteries, their operational lifetimes may be significantly shortened. Batteries of either Wet-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell /Absorbed  
Glass Mat (sealed) construction are ideal. 6-volt “golf cart”, Marine Deep-Cycle or 8D Deep-Cycle batteries are also acceptable. You must  
set the UPS System’s Battery Type DIP Switch (see Configuration section for more information) to match the type of batteries you connect or  
your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time.  
Match Battery Amp-Hour Capacity to Your Application  
Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your UPS System with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to  
power your application. Even though Tripp Lite UPS Systems are highly efficient at DC-to-AC inversion, their rated output capacities are lim-  
ited by the total amp-hour capacity of connected batteries.  
NOTE: Unlike various competitors, Tripp Lite Traffic MOVE-UPS models operate on 12V input. In the event of prolonged  
power outages that exceed battery backup time, this design allows for easy tie-in of 12V power from a police cruiser or mainte-  
nance truck via jumper cables, to keep crucial traffic signals from going dark. This flexibility, in turn, may allow traffic  
managers to feel comfortable with fewer battery amp-hours and shorter back-up times, thereby minimizing budgetary outlays  
for batteries, auxilliary cabinets and battery maintenance.  
• STEP 1: Determine Total Wattage Required  
Add the wattage ratings of all equipment you will connect to your UPS System. Wattage ratings are usually listed in equipment manuals or  
on nameplates. If your equipment is rated in amps, multiply that number times AC utility voltage to determine watts.  
Note: Your UPS System will operate at higher efficiencies at about 75% - 80% of nameplate rating.  
• STEP 2: Determine DC Battery Amps Required  
Divide the total wattage required (from step 1, above) by the battery voltage (12) to determine the DC amps required.  
• STEP 3: Estimate Battery Amp-Hours Required  
Multiply the DC amps required (from step 2, above) by the number of hours you estimate you will operate your equipment exclusively from  
battery power before you have to recharge your batteries with utility- or generator-supplied AC power. Compensate for inefficiency by mul-  
tiplying this number by 1.2. This will give you a rough estimate of how many amp-hours of battery power (from one or several batteries)  
you should connect to your UPS System.  
NOTE! Battery amp-hour ratings are usually given for a 20-hour discharge rate. Actual amp-hour capacities are less when batteries are discharged at faster rates. For example, batteries discharged  
in 55 minutes provide only 50% of their listed amp-hour ratings, while batteries discharged in 9 minutes provide as little as 30% of their amp-hour ratings.  
• STEP 4: Estimate Battery Recharge Required, Given Your Application  
You must allow your batteries to recharge long enough to replace the charge lost during inverter operation or else you will eventually run  
down your batteries. To estimate the minimum amount of time you need to recharge your batteries given your application, divide your  
required battery amp-hours (from step 3, above) by your UPS System’s rated charging amps (see Specifications section).

WARNING!  
• Failure to properly ground your UPS System to earth ground may result in a lethal electrical  
shock hazard.  
• Never attempt to operate your UPS System by connecting its DC terminals directly to output from a  
generator rather than a battery or battery bank.  
• Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.  
In a parallel connection, your UPS System’s Nominal DC Input Voltage (12V DC) must match the voltage of your battery or batteries (12V  
DC). In a series connection, your UPS System’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the number of batteries multiplied by their voltage.  
For example, a 12V DC UPS System would require two 6V batteries connected in series (12 = 2 × 6). See diagram below. Contact Tripp Lite  
technical support for assistance with additional parallel, series or series/parallel connections.

AC Input/Output Connection  
To avoid overloading your UPS System, match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts)  
with the output wattage capacity of your UPS System model (see Specifications). Do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage  
ratings. If you are not using your UPS System in conjunction with electronic traffic signal controllers, keep in mind that most electric motors  
require extra power at start-up (“peak wattage”) than required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors  
start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak wattage” at multiple, unpredictable times during operation. DoubleBoost™  
Feature: Tripp Lite UPS Systems deliver up to twice their nameplate rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power need-  
ed to cold start heavy-duty equipment. OverPowerFeature: Tripp Lite UPS Systems deliver up to 150% of their name-plate rated wattage  
for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve power to reliably support equipment longer.  
* Actual duration depends on model, battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.  
Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles  
Plug the UPS System’s AC input cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit you connect your UPS  
System to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse. Plug your equipment into the UPS System’s AC receptacles.  
Any equipment you connect to it will benefit from your UPS System’s built-in ISOBAR® power conditioning, including surge, spike and  
lightning protection!  
Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements  
for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility supply before attempting hardwiring.  
Use wire type THHN or equivalent with minimum temperature rating of 90°C.
