Basic Operation

Buttons (Front Panel)
Use the POWER button to switch your UPS between its four modes of operation.
OFF: No indicator lights are on. The UPS is completely shut down for storage or shipping. If the UPS is connected to AC
power, it will start up in STANDBY mode. If the UPS is not connected to AC power and the POWER button is pressed for two
seconds, the UPS will "cold start" into INVERT mode.
STANDBY: The " " light is flashing. The UPS is receiving AC power and using it to charge its batteries, but its outlets are not
active. Pressing the POWER button while the UPS is in STANDBY will put the UPS in the ON mode. Unplugging the UPS or
cutting AC power while the UPS is in STANDBY will put the UPS in the OFF mode.
ON: The " " light is on. The UPS is receiving AC power, charging its batteries and delivering power to connected equipment.
If AC power is lost while the UPS is ON (i.e. a blackout occurs), the UPS will switch into INVERT mode. Pressing the POWER
button while the UPS is ON will put the UPS in STANDBY mode.
INVERT: The "
the UPS will switch to the ON mode. Pressing the POWER button while the UPS is in INVERT will put the UPS into the OFF
mode. If the UPS is in INVERT and its batteries are drained, the UPS will switch to the OFF mode until AC power is restored,
then switch to the ON mode.
Use the MUTE/TEST button to do two things:
SILENCE ALARM: Your UPS has three alarms. The first, the INVERT alarm, emits four short beeps every ten seconds when
the UPS is in INVERT mode, to warn you that AC power has failed. The second, the OVERLOAD alarm, emits short, rapid
beeps when the UPS is in INVERT mode if the total power draw of connected equipment exceeds the UPS output capacity,
to warn you to reduce the load. The third, the Low Battery alarm, emits a constant beep when the UPS is in INVERT mode
and its batteries are very nearly depleted, to warn you that connected equipment must shut down. To silence the INVERT
or OVERLOAD alarms, press the MUTE/TEST button. The LOW BATTERY alarm will only stop when the UPS switches to the
OFF or ON mode.
SELF-TEST: If your UPS is in the ON mode and has a load connected, you may test its batteries by pressing the MUTE/
TEST button for two seconds. The UPS will switch to INVERT mode for several seconds. Normally, the INVERT alarm (four
short beeps) will sound, indicating that the system is working properly. If the OVERLOAD alarm (short, rapid beeps) sounds,
reduce the load on the UPS. If the LOW BATTERY alarm (a constant beep) sounds, your UPS batteries may need replacing,
your external battery connection may be loose or the batteries may simply be less than fully charged. Check the external
battery connection, let the UPS charge for 12 hours, then perform a second self-test. If the LOW BATTERY alarm sounds
again, contact Tripp Lite for service. Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries, or you will remove safe electrical grounding
and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.
Indicator Lights (Front Panel)
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.
POWER: Lights green when the UPS is receiving AC power. Illuminates constantly when the UPS is in the ON mode,
indicating that batteries are charging and connected equipment is receiving filtered AC power. Flashes while in STANDBY
mode to indicate that batteries are charging but connected equipment is not receiving power.
VOLTAGE CORRECTION: 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.
BATTERY CHARGE: This multicolored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge conditions. It will turn from red (low)
to yellow (medium) to green (full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, your UPS is in the ON or
STANDBY mode, operating from line power, and the battery is charging. If the light is flashing, your UPS is in the INVERT
mode, operating from battery, and the battery is discharging. If the light is flashing red, your UPS is in the INVERT mode and
is nearly out of power: you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
OUTPUT LOAD: This multicolored light shows how heavy your UPS load is. Steady green indicates a light load, steady
yellow a medium load. When the light is red, your UPS is supporting a load above 85% of its capacity. If the red light begins
flashing, then your UPS is severely overloaded. Immediately remove load from the UPS until the light stops flashing.
" light is flashing. The UPS is powering connected equipment from battery backup. If AC power is restored,
