inverter is overloaded, the “

” LED will stay lit and the UPS will

continue to beep after the test; if this happens, remove some of the load

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 equipment.

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 will turn ON when your UPS is
providing your equipment with battery power. SmartPro models only
have a multicolored version of this LED that 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 (Select Models Only): 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 has different functions depending on your
UPS model.

On OmniSmart models, this red light will turn ON continuously when
the UPS is providing power from battery or after the UPS runs a self-test
to indicate that the UPS’s inverter is overloaded. If it lights up, immediately
remove some of the equipment connected to the UPS and run a self-test.
Large overloads may cause your UPS to shut down.

On SmartPro models, 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.
