ON/OFF Button:
Switch the Operating Mode:
While the UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet,
press the
ON/OFF
button and hold it until the UPS beeps (about 2 seconds) to
toggle between
ON
and
OFF.
• ON Mode:
ENABLES battery backup.
UPS Conditions:
The UPS charges
the battery and supplies power to the outlets while receiving utility line power.
The “
” indicator light will illuminate. If utility power fails, the UPS
provides power from battery.
Cold-Start:
Cold start the UPS to use it as a stand-alone power source when
utility power is not present (if the UPS battery is charged). To cold start the
UPS, press and hold the
ON/OFF
button until the UPS beeps (about 2
seconds), then release it. The “
” indicator will illuminate and AC power
inverted from stored battery power will be provided to the outlets.
MUTE/TEST Button: Silence the UPS On-Battery Alarm:
Press and hold
this button to silence the UPS on-battery alarm, a series of short beeps followed
by a brief pause that is activated when the UPS is providing AC power from
battery. Note: When the battery is nearly depleted, the low battery alarm—a
continuous beep that cannot be silenced—will warn to shut down connected
equipment immediately.
Run a Self-Test:
To run a self-test, leave connected equipment on. With the
UPS plugged in and
ON
, press and hold the button until the UPS beeps (about
2 seconds) then release it.
Self-Test Results:
All LEDs will be lit and the UPS will emit several short beeps
as it momentarily switches to battery to test charge and load capacity. The test will
last up to 10 seconds. If the inverter is overloaded, the audible alarm will sound
and the UPS will automatically shut down; if this happens, remove some of the
load from the “UPS/Surge” outlets and run the self-test again. If the batteries are
weak, the “
” LED will stay lit and the UPS will continue to beep after the test.
If this happens, let the UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If
the condition persists, contact Tripp Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug
the UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may
introduce a damaging surge into network connections.
Basic Operation
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
LINE POWER:
This green light will illuminate whenever the UPS is
ON
and receiving normal AC line power.
BATTERY POWER:
This yellow light will illuminate when the UPS is
providing equipment with battery power.
REPLACE BATTERY:
This red light will illuminate continuously after
the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the battery is weak. If it remains lit
after allowing the UPS to charge for twelve hours and running a second
self-test, contact Tripp Lite for service.
