Basic Operation continued

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.

Indicator Lights

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.

LINE POWER: This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is receiving normal AC line power. It will flash while the UPS is in CHARGE ONLY mode to indicate that the UPS will not provide battery backup during a blackout or brownout.

BATTERY POWER: This light indicates battery charge level: Green means the batteries are fully charged or nearly so, yellow means the batteries are partially charged, and red means the batteries are nearly depleted.

VOLTAGE REGULATION: This light will turn ON when your UPS is automatically correcting high or low utility line voltage. The UPS will also click gently when this automatic voltage regulation is operating. These are both normal functions of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

BATTERY CHARGE: This red light will turn ON continuously after the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the UPS’s battery is weakly charged. If it remains lit after you have allowed the UPS to charge for twelve hours and have run a second self-test, contact Tripp Lite for service.

OVERLOAD: This light shows how heavy is the load on the UPS’s inverter. Green indicates a light load, yellow indicates a medium load, and red indicates a heavy load (above 85% of the UPS’s output capacity). If this light is flashing, the UPS is overloaded and will not be able to provide power to connected equipment during a power outage. Unplug equipment from the UPS until this LED stops flashing.

Other UPS Features

AC Receptacles: These output receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during power outages. The UPS protects equipment connected to these receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. If you have a USB or DB9 connection to your UPS, you can remotely reboot connected equipment by turning its receptacles OFF and ON using Tripp Lite software. Select models have a receptacle that may be remotely switched ON and OFF without interrupting power to other outlets. See software instructions for details.
