All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
LINE POWER:
This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is
receiving normal AC line power. It will flash while the UPS is in
CHARGE ONLY
mode to indicate that the UPS will not provide
battery backup during a blackout or brownout.
BATTERY POWER:
This yellow light will turn ON when your UPS is
providing your equipment with battery power.
BATTERY CHARGE:
This red light will turn ON continuously after the
UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the UPS’s battery is weakly charged.
If it remains lit after you have allowed the UPS to charge for twelve hours
and have run a second self-test, contact Tripp Lite for service.
OVERLOAD:
This red light will turn ON continuously when the UPS is
providing power from battery or after the UPS runs a self-test to indicate
that the UPS’s inverter is overloaded. If it lights up, immediately remove
some of the equipment connected to the UPS and run a self-test. Large
overloads may cause your UPS to shut down.

AC Receptacles
“UPS/Surge” receptacles are used to provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery
power during blackouts and brownouts. They also protect your
equipment against damaging surges and line noise.
Select models only:
“Surge-only” receptacles (identified on the back of
the UPS) are used to provide peripherals with surge protection without
committing precious battery power to support them during blackouts.
Telephone/Network Protection Jacks (Select models only)
These jacks protect your equipment against surges over a telephone or
data line. Your UPS has either RJ45 jacks, which can be used with
both phone and data lines, or RJ11 jacks, which can be used with
phone lines only. See Specifications to determine what kind of jacks
your UPS has. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional.
Your UPS will work properly without this connection.
USB Port
The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation or server.
Using this port, your UPS can communicate line-fail and low-battery
status to your computer. Use with Tripp Lite software and any USB
cable to automatically save open files and shut down equipment
during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or consult
your power protection software manual for more information.

VOLTAGE REGULATION (Select models only):
This light will turn
ON when your UPS is automatically correcting high or low utility line
voltage. The UPS will also click gently when this automatic voltage
regulation is operating. These are both normal functions of your UPS, and
no action is required on your part.
