Silence the UPS On-Battery Alarm: Press and hold this button to silence the UPS On-Battery alarm, a series of short beeps followed by a brief pause that is activated when the UPS is providing AC power from battery. Note: When the battery is nearly depleted, the Low Battery alarm—a continuous beep that cannot be silenced—will alert you to immediately shut down con- nected equipment.

Run a Self-Test:Your UPS performs a self-test whenever it is first plugged in. To have it run a self-test at another time, leave your connected equipment on. With your UPS plugged in and in the UPS mode, press and hold this but- ton until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds) then release it.

Switch your UPS’s Operating Mode: While your UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet, press the ON/OFF button and hold it until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds) to toggle between the following operating modes. Choose your UPS’s operating mode based on the regional guidelines in Step 3 of the Quick Installation section.

•UPS Mode: ENABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: The UPS charges its battery and supplies power at its receptacles when it is receiving utility line power. If utility power fails, the UPS provides power from its batteries. The “ ” indicator light is lit. Setting Advantages: Provides battery backup during blackouts or brownouts.

•CHARGE ONLY Mode: DISABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: The UPS charges its battery and supplies power at its receptacles when it is receiving utility line power. The “ ” indicator light is flashing. Setting Advantages: Continues to charge the battery when power is present while turning OFF the inverter to prevent battery depletion during power outages when equipment is not in use.

overloaded, the UPS will continue to beep after the test; if this happens, remove some of the load and run the self-test again. If the batteries seem weak, the “ ” LED will stay lit and the UPS will continue to beep after the test; if this happens, let UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If the condition persists, 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.

*Depending on the condition of incoming voltage the “LOW/HIGH INPUT VOLTAGE DETEC- TION” LED may or may not be lit.
