Introduction
Tripp Lite’s SMART1524ET and SMART1548ET line-interactive UPS Systems offer a
wide operating temperature range and provide constant and reliable backup power
to critical equipment in harsh environments, including outdoor equipment. The UPS
systems distribute utility power to connected equipment when input power is available
and is within valid UPS voltage limits. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) is available
to stabilize output voltage to protected equipment. The UPS will switch to battery
backup power during utility power outages and extreme voltage fluctuations to keep
connected equipment running without interruption.
The maximum output capacity of the UPS system is temperature-dependent:
1600W: -40°F to 131°F (-40°C to 55°C)
1200W: 131°F to 167°F (55°C to 75°C)
1000W: 167°F to 176°F (75°C to 80°C).

Operation
Basic On/Off and Manual UPS Test Verification
Before powering on the UPS, make sure the batteries are fully charged and input
line power is within the configured voltage limits of the UPS (factory default is 88 to
152V AC). The UPS will not turn on to provide AC output without a charged battery
set connected. To verify proper operation and familiarize yourself with UPS operation,
performing these three basic operations prior to putting the UPS into service is
recommended.
1 Turn on the UPS in Line Power Mode
1.1 Switch “ON” the battery circuit breaker.
The fan and all LEDs will illuminate momentarily. The LCD display will report
STARTUP, then the yellow ALARM LED will illuminate and a series of UPS status
notification screens will be available to view.
1.2 Switch “ON” the AC Input circuit breaker.
For approximately 30 seconds, the UPS will monitor AC input line power and turn
on if input is valid. The yellow ALARM LED will continue to illuminate. The LCD
may report the initial turn-on sequence as recovery from a power failure. Press
the ESC button to clear these notifications and view the main UPS status screen.
1.3 Switch “ON” the AC Output circuit breaker.
To power connected equipment, switch ON the AC output circuit breaker to enable

Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected
from the UPS. Press the power button and disconnect the unit from AC power. Your
UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated) and will be ready for storage. If you
plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every
3 months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, and allow the batteries to recharge for 4
to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they
will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial envi-
ronment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause

Equipment Attachment Limitations
(models with the Industry Canada label in Canada only)
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that
the equipment meets the telecommunications network protective, operational and safety require-
ments as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements Document(s).
The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. Before
installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facil-
ities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that the compliance with the
above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunc-
tions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to
make connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or
electrician, as appropriate.
