For All Models—“MUTE/TEST” Button:
To Re-enable Audible Alarms:
The UPS is shipped with the audible alarms
muted by default. To re-enable the audible alarms, press and hold the MUTE/TEST
button until you hear a short beep followed by a continuous beep; then release the
button. To disable the audible alarms, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button until
you hear a short beep followed by another short beep; then release the button.
To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms:
briefly press and release the MUTE/TEST
button.*
To Run a Self-Test:
With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold
the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds.* The alarm will beep several times and
the UPS will perform a self-test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below.
Note:
you
can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will not
perform a self-test if it is not turned ON (see “POWER” Button description).
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.
Results of a Self-Test:
The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the
UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and battery charge.** If the
“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to sound
after the test, the UPS’s outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug
some of your equipment and run the self-test repeatedly until the “OUTPUT
LOAD LEVEL” LED is no longer lit red and the alarm is no longer sounding.
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 severe brownout.
If the “BATTERY WARNING” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound
after the test, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the
UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the
LED remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery
replacement, visit www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the
specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.
*The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. **Smart models’
operation during the self-test: the “POWER” LED will be flashing and the “OUTPUT LOAD
LEVEL” and “BATTERY CHARGE” LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound. OmniSmart
models’ operation during the self-test: all LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound.
