Basic Operation

Switches

System Enable Switch

This switch activates the battery charger and intelligent microproces- sor. Always leave it in the “ENABLE” position when your UPS is plugged in. Set the switch to “DISABLE” only if you store or ship your UPS (to reduce battery drain).

*Note: The “ ” light will flash until you engage the ON/Standby Switch to activate the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles).

On/Standby Switch

This momentary switch controls power to the UPS receptacles. Engage it momentarily and release it to toggle between the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles) and “Standby” mode (power OFF at the UPS receptacles).

Mute/Test Switch

Use this momentary switch to do two things:

Silence the blackout alarm

Engage this switch and release it. 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 completely turned ON, engage this switch; hold it there for 5 seconds and release it. The UPS will momentarily switch to battery to test its charge. The alarm will sound and the “ ” light may 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. 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.
