Basic Operation

Switches

With your UPS plugged in, turn the UPS ON (using “ON-OFF” or “MASTER” switch) to supply AC power to your connected equip- ment. Select models feature individual front panel switches. Turn these ON after turning ON the Master Switch to control power to individual outlets.

Note: All UPS models allow you to "cold start" them and use them as stand-alone power sources when utility power is not present. To "cold start" your UPS, first turn your UPS ON (using "ON-OFF" or "MASTER" switch, depending on model). Then, using the Test switch, either move it to the left or press and hold momentarily and release.

SELF TEST

ALARM

SILENCE

Use this switch to do two things:

Silence the blackout alarm

Move this switch to the left and release it or press momentarily. (Normally, removing some of the load will silence the alarm.) Note: When the battery is nearly depleted the alarm resumes (and cannot be silenced) to alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.

Test your UPS's battery charge

Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, move this switch to the left or press momentarily; hold it there for 2 seconds and release it. The UPS will momen- tarily switch to battery to test its charge. If the UPS alarm sounds or the properly-sized load is not supported, let your UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If alarm still sounds, contact Tripp Lite for service. 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.

Indicator Lights

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.

This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is plugged in and receiving normal AC line power.

This red light will turn ON when your UPS is providing your equipment with battery power.

This yellow light will turn ON when the UPS battery is less than fully charged. If it stays on continuously, contact Tripp Lite for service.

This red light will turn ON when the UPS detects a wiring fault in your wall outlet (reversed phases, missing ground, etc.) Have an electrician fix the fault immediately. Your UPS will identify the presence of most (but not all) wiring faults.
