Basic Operation
•
CHARGE ONLY Mode:
DISABLES battery backup.
UPS Conditions:
The UPS charges its battery and supplies power at its receptacles
when it is receiving utility line power. The “ ” indica-tor light is
flashing.
Setting Advantages:
Continues to charge the bat-tery
when power is present while turning OFF the inverter to prevent
battery depletion during power outages when equipment is not in use.
Cold-Start Your UPS:
You may “cold start” your UPS and use it as a
stand-alone power source when utility power is not present, providing
that the UPS battery is charged. To “cold start” your UPS, press and
hold the
ON/OFF
button until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds),
then release it. The “ ” indicator light will illuminate and AC power
inverted from stored battery power will be provided at its receptacles.
Shut Down Your UPS:
Press and hold the
ON/OFF
button when
AC line power is absent (i.e. during a blackout, or when the UPS is
unplugged) to deactivate your UPS.
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 alert
you to immediately shut down connected equipment.
Run a Self-Test:
Your UPS performs a self-test whenever it is first
plugged in. To have it run a self-test at another time, leave your
con-nected equipment on. With your UPS plugged in and in the UPS
mode, press and hold this button until you hear a beep (about 2
seconds) then release it.
Results of a Self-Test:
All the LEDs* will be lit and the UPS will emit
several short beeps as it momentarily switches to battery to test its
charge and load capacity. The test will last at most 10 seconds. If
the inverter is overloaded, the “ ” LED (on select models) will stay
lit and the UPS will continue to beep after the test; if this happens,
remove some of the load and run the self-test again. If the batteries
seem weak, the “ ” LED will stay lit and the UPS will continue to
beep after the test; if this happens, let UPS charge its batteries for
12 hours and repeat the test. If the condition persists, contact Tripp
Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries.
This will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a
damaging surge into your network connections.
* Depending on the condition of the incoming voltage the “VOLTAGE
REGULATION” LED may or may not be lit.
