Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned on.
This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is plugged in and
receiving normal AC line power.
This red light will turn ON when your UPS is providing your equipment
with battery power.
This red light will turn ON when the UPS’s capacity has been exceeded
while it is operating from battery power (either during a self-test or during
a blackout). Remove overload from battery-supported outlets immedi-
ately.
This yellow light will turn ON continuously after you test your UPS
battery’s charge with the “Mute/Test” Switch to indicate that the UPS’s
battery is less than fully charged. If it stays on continuously, contact Tripp
Lite for service. The light will flash after you set the “OFF/ON” Switch to the
“OFF” position to indicate that the UPS will not provide battery backup
during a blackout or brownout.
Whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage,
this green light will turn ON and the UPS will gently click. The more the UPS
has to correct voltage, the more the green light will turn ON and the more
the UPS will click. These are both normal, automatic operations of your
UPS, and no action is required on your part.

Other UPS Features
AC Receptacles:
The receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line
power during normal operation and battery power during black-
outs and brownouts. They also protect your equipment against
damaging surges and line noise. Select models, however, feature
“surge-only” receptacle(s) (identified on the back of the UPS) that
provide peripherals with surge protection without committing
precious battery power to support them during blackouts.
RJ11 Telephone Jacks (Available on select models):
These jacks protect your
equipment against telephone line surges. Connecting your equip-
ment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will still work properly
without this connection.
DB9 Port (Available on select models):
The DB9 port connects your UPS to any
workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite software and cabling to
automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a
blackout. This port sends contact-closure signals to indicate line-
fail and low-battery status. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support
for more information.
Battery Replacement Door:
Under normal conditions, the original battery in your
UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be
performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery
Warnings” in the Safety section on page 2.
