Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and
the System Enable Switch is turned ON.
This green light will shine
constantly
to indicate AC power is available
at the receptacles. It will
flash
to indicate AC power is not available. (See
“System Enable Switch” and “ON/Standby Switch” descriptions above.)
This multi-colored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge
conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full)
to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, then your
UPS is operating from line power and the battery is charging. If the light
is flashing, then your UPS is operating from battery power and the
battery is discharging. When the light flashes red, close any files you
are working on and shut down your computer.
Whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line
voltage, this green light will turn ON and the UPS will gently click. The
more the UPS has to correct voltage, the more the green light will turn
ON and the more the UPS will click. These are both normal, automatic
operations of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
This red light will turn ON if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the UPS
battery is less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12 hours and
perform a second self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact
Tripp Lite for service.
This multi-colored light displays 4 separate UPS load conditions. It
will turn from green (low) to yellow (medium) to red (high) as you
connect equipment to show you the load level your UPS is supporting.
When the light is red your UPS is supporting a load above 85% of its
capacity. If the red light begins flashing, your UPS is severely
overloaded. Remove overload immediately until light stops flashing.
Other UPS Features
AC Receptacles
The receptacles 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. You can remotely reboot connected equipment by
turning all of the receptacles OFF and ON at once using Tripp Lite UPS
software. See software instructions for details.
