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 its battery.**
• To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off
(deactivated).
* The alarm will beep once briefly 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 (warning you to immediately shut down connected equipment) cannot be silenced.
• To Run a Self-Test: With your 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: you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.
Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its 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 of your 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.
• 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.

CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its battery. This will remove safe electrical grounding and
may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.
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.
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 can be rotated for easy viewing, regardless
of whether the UPS is in a horizontal or vertical ("tower") position. To rotate the display: insert a small
tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of the UPS housing; rotate the display, and
snap it back into the UPS housing.
A
"Input Voltage" Meter: This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is
receiving 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 the UPS is designed (through the use of automatic voltage regulation) to continuously
supply connected equipment with stable, computer-grade output voltage. In the event of a blackout
(power loss), severe brownout (low power) or overvoltage (high power), the UPS will rely on its
internal battery to supply computer-grade output voltage. The Input Voltage Meter can be used as a
diagnostic tool to identify poor quality input power. By plugging the UPS into different outlets within
a facility, you can identify individual circuits that are consistently providing low power, which can be
caused by the combined equipment load demanding more power than the circuit is designed to
supply. If all circuits within a facility consistently provide low power, the facility may be served by
inadequate utility service or may be in an industrial or commercial area with an overburdened
power grid.
B
"BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20%
increments) of the UPS 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.
C
"AVR" (Automatic Voltage Regulation) Icon: This icon will illuminate whenever your UPS is
automatically correcting low AC line voltage without depleting battery power. This is a normal,
automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
