Tripp Lite OMNIVS1000, OMNIVS800 owner manual Buttons, ON/OFF Button

Basic Operation

Buttons

“ON/OFF” Button

•To turn the UPS ON: if utility power is present, the UPS will turn ON automatically. If utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power from its batteries*) by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for one second.**

•To turn the UPS OFF: first, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet; then press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second.** The UPS will be completely “OFF” (deactivated).

•To place the UPS in “Charge-Only” Mode: this mode enables battery

charging, but disables battery backup. WARNING: when the UPS is in this mode, it will not provide battery backup during a blackout or brownout. This mode is only recommended for use in areas that experience frequent blackout/brownout conditions and when connected equipment is not in use. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for four seconds to place the UPS in this mode.** Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second** to take the UPS out of this mode.

*If fully charged. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed (with the exception of a continuous beep which signals transition to the “Charge- Only” Mode).

“MUTE/TEST” Button

To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the MUTE/

TEST button. Note: continuous alarms (warning you to immediately shut down connected equipment) cannot be silenced.

To Run a Self-Test:with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a self test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below. Note: you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will not perform a self-test if you have placed it in “Charge-Only” mode (see “ON/OFF” Button description).

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.

Results of a Self-Test:The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound.

•If the “OVERLOAD” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the battery-supported outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the “OVERLOAD” LED is no longer lit and the alarm is no longer sounding.

CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately

following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease

supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.

•If the “REPLACE BATTERY” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service.
