How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 350VA Standby UPS

• Choose a stable, dry, and accessible location near a wall outlet. Keep the UPS away from heat sources and moisture to maintain battery longevity and performance.
• Plug the UPS into a standard 120V wall outlet using the included 5-15P plug. Ensure the outlet can supply enough current for the connected devices without tripping the circuit.
• Connect your critical devices to the three NEMA 5-15R outlets on the UPS. Prioritize devices that require immediate protection during outages, such as a desktop PC, monitor, and a communications device or POS terminal.
• Power on the UPS and allow the battery to initial charge if it’s new or fully discharged. This process may take a few hours; during this time, the UPS will be ready to provide backup power when needed.
• To test protection, simulate a brief outage by briefly disconnecting the UPS from the wall outlet (do not unplug connected devices). Observe that the connected equipment remains powered by the battery backup and note any audible or visual indicators that confirm proper operation.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What devices should I protect with this UPS? A: Protect essential electronics that would disrupt your work if power were interrupted, such as a desktop computer, monitor, router, printer, and a POS terminal. Consider connecting only critical devices to the battery-backed outlets to maximize runtime.
• Q: How long does the battery backup last? A: Runtime depends on the load connected to the UPS. With lighter loads, you may enjoy several minutes of runtime, while heavier loads shorten this duration. This unit is designed for safe shutdown and brief outages rather than long-term operation.
