• To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST 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 batteries.**
• To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).
• To run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for three seconds.
* The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. **If fully charged.
CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/OFF/TEST button continuously for three seconds; if you release the button too early,
you will turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads. To ensure you hold the button for the correct length of time, do
not release the button until you hear the UPS System's audible alarm beep twice. The first beep occurs after one second and indicates that the UPS
will turn OFF if the button is released. The second beep occurs after three seconds and indicates that the UPS will perform a self-test if the button
is released.
The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will
sound. See LED descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test.
Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.
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.
"ON/OFF" LED: This green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with AC power either from a utility
2
source or from the UPS's internal batteries. If the UPS's alarm is sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause), the UPS is operating from its internal
batteries.
"OVERLOAD/CHECK BATTERY" LED: This red LED lights continuously after a self-test to indicate the capacity of the battery-supported outlets has
3
been exceeded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supported outlets; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self-
Test. If the UPS continues to detect an overload, remove more equipment and repeat the self test until successful.
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. The LED flashes to indicate the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. If the LED flashes
(and a continuous alarm sounds) during a prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and
shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED flashes following a UPS self-test (after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery
needs to be replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self Test. If the LED
continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/
support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge protection. Plug your computer, monitor and other critical
4
equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.
Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery backup. Plug equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine)
5
that does not require battery backup during a utility power failure into these outlets.
Communication Port (Select models only.): This port connects your UPS System to any computer, enabling PowerAlert Software to automatically save
6
open files and perform unattended shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with included cable (featuring either a USB or DB9 connector, depending on
model). Connecting your equipment to this port is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection. See Optional Installation section for details.
Tel/DSL Line Protection Jacks (Select models only.): These jacks protect equipment against surges over a single phone line. Select models feature a
7
built-in splitter (one jack in/two jacks out), allowing you to connect two devices sharing a single line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional.
Your UPS will work properly without this connection.
