Basic Operation
Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
"LINE POWER" LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate
that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with AC power from a
utility source. The LED flashes to remind you that you have used the
ON/OFF button to place the UPS in "Charge-Only" mode.
"BATTERY POWER" LED: this yellow LED flashes and an alarm
sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating
from its internal batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, this
LED and the "REPLACE BATTERY" LED will light continuously and an
alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out
of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
"REPLACE BATTERY" LED: this red LED lights continuously and an
alarm sounds after a self-test 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 flash, contact Tripp Lite
for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit
www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite
replacement battery for your UPS.
"OVERLOAD" LED: this red LED lights continuously and an alarm
sounds after a self-test to indicate the battery-supported outlets are overloaded.
To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-
supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the LED 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.
"VOLTAGE CORRECTION" LED (select models only): Lights green
whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage.
The UPS will also click gently. These are normal, automatic operations of
your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
