Indicator Lights (Front Panel)
“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED:
this multicolored LED indicates the
approximate electrical load of equipment connected to the UPS's AC outlets. It
will turn from green (light load) to yellow (medium load) to red (overload). If
the LED is red (either illuminated continuously or flashing), clear the overload
immediately by unplugging some of your equipment from the outlets until the
LED changes from red to yellow (or green). CAUTION! Any overload that is
not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS to shut down and
cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.
“BATTERY CHARGE” LED:
when the UPS is operating from utility power,
this LED indicates the approximate charge state of the UPS's internal batteries:
red indicates the batteries are beginning to charge; yellow indicates the batteries
are roughly midway through charging; and green indicates the batteries are fully
charged. When the UPS is operating from battery power during a blackout or
severe brownout, this LED indicates the approximate amount of energy
(ultimately affecting runtime) which the UPS’s batteries will provide: red
indicates a low level of energy; yellow indicates a medium level of energy; and
green indicates a high level of energy. Since the runtime performance of all UPS
batteries will gradually deplete over time, it is recommended that you
periodically perform a self-test (see MUTE/TEST Button description) to
determine the energy level of your UPS batteries BEFORE a blackout or severe
brownout occurs. During a prolonged blackout or severe brownout, you should
save files and shut down your equipment since battery power will eventually be
depleted. When the LED turns red and an alarm sounds continuously, it indicates
the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power and UPS shut down is imminent.
“BATTERY WARNING” LED:
this LED lights red and an alarm sounds
intermittently after you initiate a self test (See “MUTE/TEST” Button description)
to indicate the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to
recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED
continues to light, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery
replacement, visit www.tripplite.com to locate the specific Tripp Lite
replacement battery for your UPS.
AC Receptacles:
Your UPS features 15/20-amp AC outlets and 20-amp and
30- amp AC outlets. These output receptacles provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during
blackouts and brownouts. The UPS protects equipment connected to these
receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. If you have a serial or USB
connection to your UPS, you can remotely reboot connected equipment by turning
the receptacles OFF and ON using Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software. Select
models have their receptacles divided into one or more load banks (labelled
“LOAD 1,” etc.) which may be remotely switched OFF and ON
using Tripp Lite UPS software without interrupting power to
equipment connected to the other outlets.
