Basic Operation
“BATTERY CHARGE / BATTERY POWER” LED:
For SMX Models Only: When the UPS is operating from utility power, this
multicolored 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) that 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.
For OMNIX Models Only: This yellow LED will illuminate when your UPS is
providing your equipment with battery backup power.
“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/products/battery-finder to locate the specific Tripp Lite
replacement battery for your UPS.
