“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 bat-
tery 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 imme-
diately 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 bat-
tery- supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the “OVER-
LOAD” 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 2-4 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED continues to
flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery
replacement, visit www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm
to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.
