External Battery Connection

4
(Select Models Only)
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery system;
external batteries are only needed to extend runtime.
Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as
well as runtime.
The illustration (see 4a ) shows the location of your
UPS's External Battery Connector, where you will
insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation
instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery
pack's owner's manual. Make sure that cables are fully
inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result
during battery connection; this is normal.
Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the
UPS is running on battery power.
If you connect any external batteries, set the Battery
Charge Level Switch (see ) to the down position.

This will increase your UPS's charger output so the
additional batteries charge faster. Note: the switch to
the right of the Battery Charge Level Switch is inactive
and will not affect UPS operation regardless of its position.
CAUTION! DO NOT set the Battery Charge Level Switch to the
down position without an external battery connected. There is a
risk of damaging the UPS's internal battery system.

Basic Operation

Buttons (Front Panel)
"ON/OFF/STANDBY" Button: When the UPS system is connected to a live
AC utility power source, the UPS System will operate in one of three modes:
ON, OFF or STANDBY. Refer to the chart below for UPS System operating
characteristics within each mode.
UPS Charges Battery
Mode (when utility is present)
ON Yes
OFF No
STANDBY Yes
To place the UPS in the ON mode: Once the utility power source is live, the
UPS System will automatically enter STANDBY mode. Press and hold the
"ON/OFF/STANDBY" button for one second** and then release it to switch
the UPS System from STANDBY mode to ON mode.
OPTIONAL: If the utility power source is not live, you can "cold-start" the
UPS System (i.e.: switch it directly from the OFF mode to the ON mode by
supplying power for a limited time from its batteries*) by pressing and hold-
ing the "ON/OFF/STANDBY" button for one second** and then releasing it.
To place the UPS in the OFF mode: With the UPS System in the ON mode and
receiving utility power, press and hold the "ON/OFF/STANDBY" button for
one second** and then release it to switch the UPS System from ON mode to
STANDBY mode. Then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be
completely OFF.
* If batteries are fully charged. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the interval has passed.

Basic Operation
continued
Buttons (Front Panel)
"MUTE/TEST" Button
To Silence (or"Mute") UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the MUTE/TESTbutton.*
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.
Your UPS, however, will not perform a self-test if the UPS is not turned on (see
"ON/OFF/STANDBY" Button description).
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.
Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the
UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and battery charge.
• If the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED remains lit red and the alarm contin-
ues to sound after the test, the UPS's outlets are overloaded. To clear the over-
load, unplug some of your equipment and run the self-test repeatedly
until the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED is no longer lit red and the
alarm is no longer sounding.
* The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately fol-
lowing a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output
power in the event of a blackout or brownout.
• If the "BATTERY WARNING" LED 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 12 hours, and
repeat the self-test. If the LED remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service.
If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.tripplite.com to
locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.
Indicator Lights (Front Panel)
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet
and turned ON.
"POWER" LED: this green LED lights continuously when the UPS is ON and
supplying connected equipment with AC power from a utility source. The LED
flashes and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the
UPS is operating from its internal batteries during a blackout or severe
brownout. If the blackout or severe brownout is prolonged, you should save
files and shut down your equipment since internal battery power will eventual-
ly be depleted. See "BATTERY CHARGE" LED description below.
"VOLTAGE CORRECTION" LED: this green LED lights continuously
whenever the UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC voltage on the
utility line without the assistance of battery power. The UPS will also emit a
slight clicking noise. These are normal, automatic operations of the UPS, no
action is required on your part.
