“ON BAT” (On Battery) Icon:
During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon illuminates and
an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its
internal batteries. Monitor the “Battery Capacity” Meter to determine the approximate battery
charge level available to support equipment. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the
alarm will sound continuously (and the “BATTERY CAPACITY” Meter will show one 20% capacity
segment shaded) to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files
and shut down your equipment immediately.
3f
“FAULT” Icon:
This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the
battery-supported outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your
equipment from the battery-supported outlets and run the self-test until the icon is no longer
illuminated 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 brownout.

Basic Operation (Rear Panel)
Surge-Only Protected Outlets:
Provide surge and line noise
protection, not battery backup. Plug equipment that does not require
battery backup during a utility power failure (such as a printer,
scanner or fax machine) into these outlets.
Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets:
Provide both
battery backup and surge protection. Plug your computer, monitor and
other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG LASER
PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.
USB Communication Port:
This port can connect your UPS to a
computer in order to automatically save open files and shut down the
computer if it is left unattended during an extended power failure. Use
with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and appropriate USB cable. A
PowerAlert CD and/or USB cable are included with select models. If
PowerAlert is included with your model, insert the CD into the CD tray
of your computer and follow the installation instructions. If PowerAlert
Software and/or the appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, you
can obtain the software FREE via the Web at www.tripplite.com. Any
user-supplied USB cable may be used to connect your UPS to your
computer. Note: This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly
without this connection. Also Note: This UPS System automatically
provides basic communication compatibility with many integrated
Windows
®
, Macintosh
®
and Linux
®
power management applications.
