•To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* If utility power is absent, pressing the Button will “cold-start” the UPS, i.e. turn it on and supply power from its batteries.**

•To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).

•To run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for three seconds.

* The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. **If fully charged.

CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/OFF/TEST button continuously for three seconds; if you release the button too early, you will turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads. To ensure you hold the button for the correct length of time, do not release the button until you hear the UPS System's audible alarm beep twice. The first beep occurs after one second and indicates that the UPS will turn OFF if the button is released. The second beep occurs after three seconds and indicates that the UPS will perform a self-test if the button is released.

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. See LED descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test.

Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.

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.

2LINE POWER: This green LED will illuminate whenever the UPS is ON and receiving normal AC line power.

3BATTERY POWER: This yellow LED will illuminate when the UPS is providing battery power to connected equipment.

4CHECK BATTERY: This red LED will illuminate continuously if a UPS self-test determines that the battery is weak. If it remains illuminated when a second self-test is run after the UPS has been allowed to charge for twelve hours, contact Tripp Lite for service.

CAUTION! If the LED flashes (and a continuous alarm sounds) during a prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED illuminates following a UPS self-test (after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self Test. If the LED remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
