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.
