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, then 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 black- outs and brownouts. They also protect your equipment against damaging surges and line noise. You can remotely reboot con- nected equipment by turning all of the receptacles OFF and ON at once using Tripp Lite UPS software. Select models, however, feature a unique “Remote Reboot Outlet” (identified on the back panel of your UPS) which allows you to use Tripp Lite UPS software to remotely reboot equipment connected to this outlet without interrupting power to equipment connected to the other outlets. See software instructions for details.

Note: constant power is available at the Remote Reboot Outlet (and all other outlets) unless controlled through Tripp Lite UPS software.

“SMART” RS-232 Port

This port, labeled "LAN 4.1" on the UPS, connects your UPS to a workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite software and cabling to monitor and manage network power and automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. This port uses RS-232 communications to transmit UPS and power condi- tions (Pin 7 = Transmit; Pin 8 = Common; Pin 9 = Receive). Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information and a list of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.

Contact Closure Port(s) (Select Models Only)

This port, labeled "LAN 2.2" on select UPS models, is also used to connect your UPS to a workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite software and cabling to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. This port uses contact- closure signals to indicate line-fail and low-battery status. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information.
