• To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF 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 battery.**
• To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one
second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).
* The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. ** Providing runtime
proportionate to the UPS battery's level of charge.

• 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 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.
CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its battery. 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 LCD Display icons will be illuminated and the UPS alarm will
sound.
• If the "FAULT" icon 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
battery-supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until
the "FAULT" icon 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" icon 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 24
hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to
illuminate after repeated self tests, contact Tripp Lite for service.
Battery replacement should
qualified service personnel. If the UPS requires battery
replacement, Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement
batteries at www.tripplite.com.

The LCD Display indicates a variety of UPS operational
conditions. All descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an
AC outlet and turned on. The LCD Display can be rotated for easy
viewing, regardless of whether the UPS is in a horizontal or vertical
("tower") position. To rotate the display: insert a small tool in the
slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of the UPS housing;
rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing.
3a) "INPUT VOLTAGE" Meter: This meter measures, in real
time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the
utility wall outlet. Although the Meter may occasionally display
input voltages which stray (due to poor quality utility service)
outside the range of standard computer tolerance, rest assured that
the UPS is designed (through the use of automatic voltage
regulation) to continuously supply connected equipment with
stable, computer-grade output voltage. In the event of a blackout
(power loss), severe brownout (low power) or overvoltage (high
power), the UPS will rely on its internal battery to supply
computer-grade output voltage. The Input Voltage Meter can be
used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor quality input power. By
plugging the UPS into different outlets within a facility, you can
identify individual circuits that are consistently providing low
power, which can be caused by the combined equipment load
demanding more power than the circuit is designed to supply. If
all circuits within a facility consistently provide low power, the
facility may be served by inadequate utility service or may be in an
industrial or commercial area with an overburdened power grid.
3b) "BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter: This meter displays the
approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's
internal battery. During a blackout or severe brownout, the UPS
will switch to battery power, the "ON BAT" icon will be
illuminated, and the charge level will deplete.
3c) "AVR" (Automatic Voltage Regulation) Icon: This icon will
illuminate whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC line
voltage without depleting battery power. This is a normal, automatic
operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
3d) "REPLACE" (Battery Recharge/Replace) Icon: This icon
will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate
the UPS battery needs to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS
to recharge continuously for 24 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the
icon continues to illuminate, contact Tripp Lite for service. Battery
replacement should only be performed by qualified service
personnel. If the UPS requires battery replacement, Tripp Lite
offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
3e) "ON BAT" (On Battery) Icon: During a severe brownout or
blackout, this icon illuminates and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps
followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its
internal batteries. Monitor the "Battery Capacity" Meter to
determine the approximate battery charge level available to
support equipment. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the
alarm will sound continuously (and the "BATTERY CAPACITY"
Meter will show one 20% capacity segment shaded) to indicate
the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files
and shut down your equipment immediately.
3f) "FAULT" Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will
sound after a self-test to indicate the battery-supported outlets are
by overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your
equipment from the battery-supported outlets and run the self-test
repeatedly until the icon is no longer illuminated 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.
