Basic Operation
continued
BATTERY CHARGE: This red light will turn ON continuously
after the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the UPS's battery is weakly
charged. If it remains lit after you have allowed the UPS to charge for
twelve hours and run a second self-test, contact Tripp Lite for service.
LOW/HIGH INPUT VOLTAGE DETECTION (SELECT MODELS):
This green light will turn ON when the UPS detects that incoming
line voltage has fallen below or risen above nominal levels. A gentle
clicking sound may be heard during the detection process. The light
may turn on intermittently or remain on for longer periods depending
on the condition of incoming voltage. The light is for informational
purposes only, and no action is required on your part.
OVERLOAD (SELECT MODELS): This red light will turn ON
when the UPS's capacity has been exceeded while it is operating from
battery power (either during a self-test or during a blackout). Remove
overload from battery-supported outlets immediately.
Other UPS Features
AC Receptacles: "UPS/Surge" receptacles are used to provide your
connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation
and battery power during blackouts and brownouts. They also protect
your equipment against damaging surges and line noise. Select models
feature "Surge-only" receptacles (identified on the back of the UPS)
which provide peripherals with surge protection without committing
precious battery power to support them during blackouts.
Tel/DSL Jacks (Select Models): These jacks protect your equipment
against surges over a telephone line. Connecting your equipment to
these jacks is optional. Your UPS will still work properly without this
connection.
USB Port: The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation
or server. Using this port, your UPS can communicate line-fail and
low-battery status to your computer. Use with Tripp Lite software and
any USB cable to automatically save open files and shut down equipment
during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or consult
your power protection software manual for more information.
Power Sensitivity/Lowline Adjustment (Select Models): This dial is
normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect
against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion
occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sinewave
power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present.
In some areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power
comes from a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic
waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too
often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how
often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion or
brownouts by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the
dial is turned clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations
in its input power's AC waveform and reduces the voltage point at
which it switches to battery.
NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion and the lower
the input voltage the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting with different
settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment
of any waveform distortions in the UPS's output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations.
The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encountered.

Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original
battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement
should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to
"Battery Warnings" in the Safety section on page 2.
Storage & Service
Storage
All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery drain.
Unplug your UPS from its AC receptacle, then press and hold its ON/OFF button to deactivate
it. Your UPS is now ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period
of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by plugging the UPS into a live
AC outlet and letting the UPS charge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged
for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Service
If returning your UPS for service, contact your local Tripp Lite dealer or distributor. They will
refer you to a service center. Please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING
MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem.
If the UPS is within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
