ON/Standby Switch
This momentary switch controls power to the UPS receptacles.
Engage it momentarily and release it to toggle between the “ON”
mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles) and “Standby” mode
(power OFF at the UPS receptacles).
Mute/Test Switch
Use this momentary switch to do two things:
Silence the blackout alarm
Engage this switch and release it. Note: when the battery is nearly
depleted, the alarm resumes (and cannot be silenced) to alert you
to immediately shut down connected equipment.
Test your UPS’s battery charge
Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in
and completely turned ON, engage this switch; hold it there for 5
seconds and release it. The UPS will momentarily switch to battery
to test its charge. The “
XXX
” light will turn ON and the alarm may
sound if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the UPS battery is less
than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12 hours and perform
a second self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp
Lite for service. 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.
Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet
and turned ON.
This green light will shine
constantly
to indicate AC power is
available at the receptacles. It will
flash
to indicate AC power is not
available. (See “System Enable Switch” and “ON/Standby Switch”
descriptions above.)
This multi-colored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge
conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green
(full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant,
then your UPS is operating from line power and the battery is
charging. If the light is flashing, then your UPS is operating from
battery power and the battery is discharging. When the light
flashes red, close any files you are working on and shut down your
computer.
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.
This red light will turn ON if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the
UPS battery is less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12
hours and perform a second self-test. If the light continues to stay
on, contact Tripp Lite for service.
