LCD Display
3.
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.
3a) "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 that the UPS is designed
(through the use of automatic voltage regulation) to continuously supply connected equipment with stable, com-
puter-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.
3b) "BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's internal battery. During a black-
out or severe brownout, the UPS will switch to battery power, the "ON BAT" icon will be illuminated, and the charge level will deplete.
3c) "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.
3d) "REPLACE" (Battery Recharge/Replace) Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the UPS battery needs
to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to illuminate, 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.
3e) "ON BAT" (On Battery) Icon: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon illuminates and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to
indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. Monitor the "Battery Capacity" Meter to determine the approximate battery charge level available
to support equipment. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound continuously (and the "BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter will show
one 20% capacity segment shaded) to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immedi-
ately.
3f) "FAULT" Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug
some of your equipment from the outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the icon is no longer illuminated and the alarm is no longer sounding.
3g) LCD Dimmer: Adjusts the brightness of the LCD Status Screen.

AC Outlets
4. AC Outlets:
All outlets provide connected equipment with AC line power (backed by surge protection and line noise filtering) during normal
operation. Automatic voltage regulation continually corrects brownout (low voltage) and high voltage conditions without using battery power. All outlet-
sprovide battery power during blackouts and severe brownout or severe high voltage conditions. DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO ANY OF
THE OUTLETS.

down in the event of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software (available as a FREE download at www.tripplite.com) and appropriate
USB or DB9 cable. A USB or DB9 cable may be included with your UPS. If the appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, any user-supplied DB9
pass-through or USB cable may then be used to connect your UPS to your computer. Note: This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly with-
out this connection. Also Note: This UPS System provides basic communication compatibility with most integrated Windows
power management applications.

jack marked "OUT." Make sure the equipment you connect to the UPS's jacks is also protected against surges on the AC line. Connecting your equip-
ment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.

input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sinewave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distor-
tion 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 chron-
ic 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. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of
waveform distortion 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.
