Basic Operation

Buttons
"POWER" Button
"MUTE/TEST" Button
• To turn the UPS ON: with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall out-
let,* press and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.**
Release the button. If utility power is absent, you can "cold-start" the
UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power for a limited time from its
batteries***) by pressing and holding the POWER button for about
two seconds.**
• To turn the UPS OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power,
press and hold the POWER button for one second.** Then unplug
the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.
* After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries, but will
not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indi-
cated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.
• 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 hold-
ing the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS per-
forms a self test. See "Results of a Self-Test" below. Note: you can
leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, howev-
er, will not perform a self-test if it is not turned ON (see "POWER"
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 battery
charge. The "POWER" LED will be flashing and the "OUTPUT
LOAD LEVEL" and "BATTERY CHARGE" LEDs will be lit and the
UPS alarm will sound.
• If the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED remains lit red and the alarm
continues to sound after the test, the UPS's outlets are overloaded. To
clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment and run the self-
test repeatedly until the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED is no
longer lit red and the alarm is no longer sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user imme-
diately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and
cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or severe
brownout.
• If the "BATTERY WARNING" LED remains lit and the alarm con-
tinues 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 remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for
service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.trip-
plite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite
replacement battery for your UPS.
* The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.
