Basic Operation

Buttons (Front Panel)

“ON/OFF/STANDBY” Button

•    

To turn the UPS ON: 

with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet*, 

press and hold the “ON/OFF/STANDBY” button for one second.** Release 
the button. If utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: 

turn it ON and supply power for a limited time from its batteries***) by 

pressing and holding the “ON/OFF/STANDBY” button for one second.**

•    

To turn the UPS OFF: 

with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press 

and hold the “ON/OFF/STANDBY” button for one second.** Then unplug 
the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.

* After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS (in ”Standby” mode) will 
automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its outlets until it is 

turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. 

*** If fully charged.

“MUTE/TEST” 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.* Continue holding the button 

until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs 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 the UPS is not turned on (see “ON/OFF/STANDBY” 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 continues to illuminate red and the 

alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS outlets are overloaded. 
To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment and run the self-

test repeatedly until the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED no longer illuminates 

red and the alarm no longer sounds.

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.

•   If the “BATTERY WARNING” LED remains illuminated 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 illuminated, contact Tripp Lite for 

service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.tripplite.com 
to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

* The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.
