# tripplite(8)

Driver for Tripp-Lite SmartPro UPS equipment

## NAME

tripplite - Driver for Tripp-Lite SmartPro UPS equipment

## SYNOPSIS

**tripplite** -h

**tripplite** -a *UPS\_NAME* \[*OPTIONS*\]

**Note**\

This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the tripplite driver. For information about the core driver, see [**nutupsdrv**(8)](/nutupsdrv/8.md).

## SUPPORTED HARDWARE

This driver should work on the SmartPro line, including the SMART700 and SMART700SER. It only supports SmartPro models that communicate using the serial port.

## EXTRA ARGUMENTS

This driver supports the following optional settings in the [**ups.conf**(5)](/ups.conf/5.md):

**offdelay**=*num*

Time to wait before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is sent. The default value is 64 (in seconds).

**rebootdelay**=*num*

Set the timer before the UPS is cycled after the reboot command is sent. The default value is 64 (in seconds).

**startdelay**=*num*

Set the time that the UPS waits before it turns itself back on after a reboot command. The default value is 60 (in seconds).

## KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS

Battery charge information may not be correct for all UPSes. It is tuned to be correct for a SMART700SER. Other models may not provide correct information. Information from the manufacturer would be helpful.
