Basic Operation continued
“BATTERY CHARGE / BATTERY POWER” LED:
For SmartPro Models Only: When the UPS is operating from utility power, this
multicolored LED indicates the approximate charge state of the 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) the 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 batteries are nearly out of power and
UPS shut down is imminent.
For OmniSmart Models Only: This yellow LED will illuminate when your UPS is
providing your equipment with battery backup power.
“BATTERY WARNING” LED: This LED illuminates 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/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific Tripp Lite
replacement battery for your UPS.
Other UPS Features
Hospital-Grade AC Receptacles: The receptacles provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during
blackouts and brownouts. They also protect your equipment against damaging
surges and line noise.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks (Select Models Only): These jacks protect connected
equipment against surges travelling over the modem/fax or telephone line.
Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will still work
properly without this connection.
USB or DB9 Communication Port: These ports can connect your UPS to any
computer for automatic file saves and unattended shutdown in the event of a
power failure. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and appropriate USB
or DB9 cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB or DB9 cable may be included with
your UPS; if so, insert the CD into the CD tray of your computer and follow the
installation instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the appropriate cable did
not come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the Web at www.
tripplite.com. Any user-supplied DB9 pass-through or USB cable may then be
used to connect your UPS to your computer.
Note: This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
