Basic Operation
“ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST” Button
• To Turn the UPS ON:
Press and hold the “ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST” button until you
hear the system beep and then release the button. The system is now turned ON. If
utility power is absent, pressing the Button will “cold-start” the UPS, i.e. turn it on
and supply power from its batteries.*
• To Mute the UPS:
Quickly press the “ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST” button until you hear a
short chirp and then release the button. The system is now muted.
• To Run a Self-Test:
Press and hold the “ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST” button until you hear a
long, sustained beep and then release the button. The system will now perform a self-test.
• To Turn the UPS OFF:
Press and hold the “ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST” button. You will hear a
short chirp, followed by a beep, then release the button. The system is now turned OFF.
CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST
button continuously until you hear a long, sustained beep; if you release
the button too early, you will turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to
connected equipment loads.
The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test
its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound. See
LED descriptions to determine the results of the self-test.
Note
: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.
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.
*If fully charged.
LINE POWER LED:
This green light will illuminate whenever the UPS is ON and
receiving normal AC line power.
BATTERY POWER LED:
This yellow light will illuminate when the UPS is providing
equipment with battery power.
REPLACE BATTERY LED:
This red light will illuminate continuously after the UPS
runs a self-test to indicate that the battery is weak. If it remains lit after allowing the
UPS to charge for twelve hours and running a second self-test, contact Tripp Lite for
service.
OVERLOAD LED:
This red light will illuminate continuously to indicate that the UPS
is overloaded when the UPS is providing power from battery or after the UPS runs a
self-test. If it lights up, immediately remove some of the equipment connected to the
“UPS/Surge” outlets and run a self-test. Large overloads may cause the UPS to shut
down.
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.
Surge-Only Protected Outlets:
Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery
backup. Plug equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine) that does not
require battery backup during a utility power failure into these outlets.
