Use this momentary switch to do three things:
Silence the UPS alarm*
Move this switch to the left and release it. Note: When the battery
is nearly depleted the alarm resumes (and cannot be silenced) to
alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.
*The UPS alarm consists of a series of short beeps followed by a brief pause. The alarm is activated when
the UPS switches to battery during a blackout or brownout.
Test your UPS's battery charge
Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in
and turned ON, move this switch to the left; hold it there for 2
seconds and release it. The UPS will momentarily switch to
battery to test its charge. If the UPS alarm sounds or the properly-
sized load is not supported, let your UPS charge its batteries for
12 hours and repeat the test. If alarm still sounds, contact Tripp
Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug your UPS to test its
batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may
introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.
Cold-Start your UPS
You may "cold start" your UPS and use it as a stand-alone power
source when utility power is not present, providing that the UPS's
battery is charged. To "cold start" your UPS, first turn the "OFF/
ON" switch ON. Then, move the MUTE/TEST switch to the left,
hold momentarily and release when the "
begins to flash.
Chronic mild brownouts that cause the UPS to switch to battery
power frequently could leave your batteries low on charge. The
adjustable voltage potentiometer allows you to prevent excessive
battery drain by lowering the voltage point at which the UPS
NORM
switches to battery. To keep your UPS from switching to battery
during mild brownouts, turn the potentiometer clockwise to lower

volts (when set fully clockwise).
Note: Your UPS's optimal setting will depend on the voltage conditions in your area. Adjust it
clockwise only if you want to reduce how often your UPS switches to battery. Your UPS will function
properly at any setting. Use caution when adjusting the potentiometer while the UPS is powering
