C
“OVERLOAD/CHECK BATTERY” LED
This red LED lights continuously after a self-test to indicate the capacity of the outlets has been exceeded. To clear the
overload, unplug some of your equipment from the outlets; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a self-test. If the UPS
continues to detect an overload, remove more equipment and repeat the self-test until successful. CAUTION! Any overload
that is not corrected by the user immediately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying
output power in the event of a blackout or brownout. The LED flashes to indicate the battery needs to be recharged
or replaced. If the LED flashes (and a continuous alarm sounds) during a prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS’s
batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED flashes
following a UPS self-test (after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. Allow the UPS
to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a self-test. If the LED continues to flash,
contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the Web at tripplite.com to
locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
