Eaton Tripp Lite Series 500VA 360W Line-Interactive UPS

Protect sensitive electronics and safeguard important data with a dependable 120V UPS designed for homes, small offices, and digital signage. The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 500VA 360W Line-Interactive UPS buffers against power interruptions and voltage fluctuations, delivering reliable battery backup and comprehensive AC protection. With Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), a clear LCD status display, USB connectivity, and six outlets, this tower UPS is built to keep PCs, home theaters, and digital signage running smoothly when power quality dips or disappears.

• Reliable battery backup for critical devices: This 500VA/360W UPS provides essential runtime to save work, protect ongoing processes, and safely shut down equipment when the grid goes down. It’s an ideal power buffer for desktops, media consoles, routers, and small servers, ensuring you don’t lose data during outages.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) for clean power: AVR actively corrects under-voltages and over-voltages without drawing down the battery. By stabilizing the input voltage, it shields connected devices from damaging surges and brownouts, enhancing device longevity and reducing unexpected resets.
• Six outlets with versatile protection: Six outlets offer convenient power distribution for a workstation, home theater setup, or digital signage rig. While most or all outlets are protected, the UPS focuses on safeguarding the most critical equipment while maintaining a stable, clean power supply for smooth operation.
• User-friendly interface and modern connectivity: An intuitive LCD display provides real-time information on load (%), battery capacity, input/output voltage, and online/offline status. A built-in USB port enables safe system shutdowns, firmware updates, and convenient charging of mobile devices.
• Compact tower design for flexible placement: The slim tower enclosure fits neatly on a desk, in a media cabinet, or beside a workstation. Its low-profile footprint makes it easy to integrate with PCs, AV equipment, and small digital signage players without crowding you out of space.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 500VA 360W UPS

• Place the UPS on a stable, level surface near a grounded 120V outlet and your equipment cluster. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and that cords won’t be pinched or crowded by other devices.
• Connect the UPS to the wall outlet using the included power cord. Avoid using power strips or extension cords on the input side unless recommended by the manufacturer, to ensure proper protection and performance.
• Plug critical devices into the UPS outlets. Distribute devices such as a PC, monitor, network router, and a media player across the outlets to maximize protection and ensure you retain control during an outage. Do not exceed the 360 W rating; keep the connected load within the UPS’s capacity for optimal runtime and reliability.
• Turn on the UPS using the front-panel power button. Observe the LCD display for current load, battery status, and input/output voltage. If the screen indicates low battery before you’re ready to test a shutdown, perform a controlled save and power-down of connected equipment to protect data.
• Configure any additional options through the LCD menu or your computer’s connected software. Use the USB connection to enable safe shutdowns, monitor power events, and receive alerts if power conditions worsen. Periodically test the unit by simulating a controlled outage to verify proper operation and data protection protocols.
