Indicator Lights, Other UPS Features

Indicator Lights

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

This green light will shine constantly to indicate AC power is available at the receptacles. It will flash to indicate AC power is not available. (See “System Enable Switch” and “ON/Standby Switch” descriptions above.)

This multi-colored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, then your UPS is operating from line power and the battery is charging. If the light is flashing, then your UPS is operating from battery power and the battery is discharging. When the light flashes red, close any files you are working on and shut down your computer.

Whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage, this green light will turn ON and the UPS will gently click. The more the UPS has to correct voltage, the more the green light will turn ON and the more the UPS will click. These are both normal, automatic operations of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

This red light will turn ON if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the UPS battery is less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12 hours and perform a second self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service.

This multi-colored light displays 4 separate UPS load conditions. It will turn from green (low) to yellow (medium) to red (high) as you connect equipment to show you the load level your UPS is supporting. When the light is red your UPS is supporting a load above 85% of its capacity. If the red light begins flashing, your UPS is severely overloaded. Remove overload immediately until light stops flashing.

Other UPS Features

AC Receptacles

The receptacles 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. You can remotely reboot connected equipment by turning all of the receptacles OFF and ON at once using Tripp Lite UPS software. See software instructions for details.
