Basic Operation
Buttons
“POWER” Button:
• To turn the UPS ON: With the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet,* press
and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.** Release the button. If
utility power is absent, the UPS can receive a “cold-start” (i.e.: turn it ON and
supply power for a limited time from its batteries***) by pressing and holding
the POWER button for about two seconds.**
• To turn the UPS OFF: With the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and
hold the POWER button for one second.** Then unplug the UPS from the wall
outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.
*After plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries,
but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once
briefly after the indicated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.
“MUTE/TEST” Button:
To Re-enable Audible Alarms: The UPS ships with the audible alarms muted by
default. To re-enable the audible alarms, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button
until a short beep sounds, followed by a continuous beep; then release the button.
To disable the audible alarms, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button until a short
beep followed by another short beep sounds; then release the button.
To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: Briefly press and release the MUTE/TEST
button.*
To Run a Self-Test: With the UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the
MUTE/TEST button for two seconds.* The alarm will beep several times and the
UPS will perform a self-test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below.
Note: Equipment can remain powered on during a self-test. However, the UPS will not
perform a self-test if it is not turned ON (see “POWER” Button description).
CAUTION! Do not unplug the UPS to test its batteries. This will remove
safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your
network connections.
Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the
UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and battery charge.** If the
“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to sound
after the test, the UPS outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug
some equipment and run the self-test repeatedly until the “OUTPUT LOAD
LEVEL” LED is no longer lit red and the alarm is no longer sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload not corrected by the user immediately following
a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output
power in the event of a blackout or severe brownout.
If the “BATTERY WARNING” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound
after the test, 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 remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service. If the UPS requires battery
replacement, visit www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the UPS
system’s appropriate Tripp Lite replacement battery.
*The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. **Operation
during the self-test: the “POWER” LED will be flashing and the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” and
“BATTERY CHARGE” LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound.
