MUTE/TEST Button:
Silence the UPS On-Battery Alarm:
Press and hold this button to silence
the UPS on-battery alarm, a series of short beeps followed by a brief pause
that is activated when the UPS is providing AC power from battery. Note:
When the battery is nearly depleted, the low battery alarm—a continuous
beep that cannot be silenced—will warn to shut down connected
equipment immediately.
Run a Self-Test:
To run a self-test, leave connected equipment on. With
the UPS plugged in and
ON
, press and hold the button until the UPS beeps
(about 2 seconds) then release it.
Self-Test Results:
All LEDs will be lit and the UPS will emit several short
beeps as it momentarily switches to battery to test charge and load
capacity. The test will last up to 10 seconds. If the inverter is overloaded,
the “
” LED will stay lit and the UPS will continue to beep after the test;
if this happens, remove some of the load from the “UPS/Surge” outlets and
run the self-test again. If the batteries are weak, the “
” LED will stay lit
and the UPS will continue to beep after the test. If this happens, let the
UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If the condition
persists, contact Tripp Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug the UPS
to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may
introduce a damaging surge into network connections.
Basic Operation
continued
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
LINE POWER:
This green light will illuminate whenever the UPS is
ON
and receiving normal AC line power.
BATTERY POWER:
This yellow light will illuminate when the UPS is
providing equipment with battery power.
REPLACE BATTERY:
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:
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.
“VOLTAGE CORRECTION” LED (select models only):
Lights green
whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage.
The UPS will also click gently. These are normal, automatic operations of
your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
