Basic Operation
(Front Panel)
“ON/OFF” Button
•
To Turn the UPS On:
Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one
second.* If utility power is absent, pressing the Button will “cold-
start” the UPS, i.e. turn it on and supply power from battery.**
•
To Turn the UPS Off:
Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one
second.* The UPS will be turned off completely.
* The alarm will beep once after one second has passed. ** Providing runtime proportionate to the
UPS battery's level of charge.
“MUTE/TEST” Button
•
To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms:
Briefly press and release
the MUTE/TEST button. Note: continuous alarms that warn
to shut down connected equipment immediately cannot be silenced.
•
To Run a Self-Test:
with the UPS plugged in and turned on,
press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding
the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a
self-test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below. Note: connected equipment
may remain connected during a self-test.
CAUTION! Do not unplug the UPS to test the battery. This will remove
safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into
network connections.
Results of a Self-Test:
The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the
UPS switches to battery to test load capacity and charge. All LCD Display
icons will be illuminated and the UPS alarm will sound.
• If the “FAULT” icon remains lit and the alarm continues to
sound after the test, the battery-supported outlets are overloaded. To
clear the overload, unplug some equipment from the battery supported
outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the “FAULT” icon is no
longer lit and the alarm is no longer sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload that is 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 brownout.
• If the “REPLACE” icon 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 24
hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to
illuminate after repeated self tests, contact Tripp Lite for service.
Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified service
personnel. If the UPS requires battery replacement, Tripp Lite offers a
complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
LCD Display
The LCD Display indicates a variety of UPS operational conditions. All
descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned
on. The LCD display may be rotated to match the orientation of the UPS.
Carefully insert a small tool in the slots at the side of the LCD to remove it
from the UPS housing, then rotate the LCD and press it back into place.
3-1) “INPUT VOLTAgE” Meter: This meter measures, in real time, the
AC voltage that the UPS system receives from the utility wall outlet.
Although the meter may occasionally display input voltages which stray
(due to poor quality utility service) outside the range of standard computer
tolerance, rest assured that the UPS is designed to continuously supply
connected equipment with stable, computer-grade output through the use
of automatic voltage regulation. In the event of a blackout (power loss),
severe brownout (low power) or overvoltage (high power), the UPS will
rely on the internal battery to supply computer-grade output voltage.
3-2) “BATTERY CAPACITY” Meter: This meter displays the
approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the internal battery.
During a blackout or severe brownout, the UPS will switch to battery
power, the “ON BAT” icon will be illuminated and the charge level will
deplete.
3-3) “AVR” (Automatic Voltage Regulation) Icon: This icon will
illuminate whenever the UPS is automatically correcting low AC line
voltage without depleting battery power. This is a normal, automatic
operation of the UPS, and no action is required.
3-4) “REPLACE” (Battery Recharge/Replace) Icon: This icon will
illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the UPS
battery needs to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge
continuously for 24 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to
illuminate, contact Tripp Lite for service. Battery replacement should only
be performed by qualified service personnel. If the UPS requires battery
replacement, Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at
www.tripplite.com.
3-5) “ON BAT” (On Battery) Icon:
During a severe brownout or
blackout, this icon illuminates and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps
followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal
batteries. Monitor the “Battery Capacity” Meter to determine the
approximate battery charge level available to support equipment. During a
prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound continuously (and
the “BATTERY CAPACITY” Meter will show one 20% capacity segment
shaded) to indicate the batteries are nearly out of power; save files and shut
down your equipment immediately.
3-6) “FAULT” Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound
after a self-test to indicate the battery-supported outlets are overloaded. To
clear the overload, unplug some of the equipment from the battery-
supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the icon is no longer
illuminated and the alarm is no longer sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload that is 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 brownout.

Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS.
Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated),
and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the
UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding
the ON/OFF button for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 24 hours. If you leave your
UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Note on Labeling
Two symbols are used on the label.
