Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
"LINE POWER" LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate
that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with AC power from a
utility source. The LED flashes to remind you that you have used the
ON/OFF button to place the UPS in "Charge-Only" mode.
"BATTERY POWER" LED: this yellow LED flashes and an alarm
sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating
from its internal batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, this
LED and the "REPLACE BATTERY" LED will light continuously and an
alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out
of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
"REPLACE BATTERY" LED: this red LED lights continuously and an
alarm sounds after a self-test to indicate 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 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.
"OVERLOAD" LED: this red LED lights continuously and an alarm
sounds after a self-test to indicate 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 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.
"VOLTAGE CORRECTION" LED (select models only): Lights green
whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage.
The UPS will also click gently. These are normal, automatic operations of
your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
Other UPS Features
AC Outlets: the outlets will provide battery backup and surge protection;

You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you
connect to the outlets exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity (see

Telephone or Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks pro-
tect your equipment against surges over a telephone line or tele-
phone/network data line, depending on model. Connecting your
equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly
without this connection.
USB Port: The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation
or server. Using this port, your UPS can communicate line-fail and
low-battery status. Use with Tripp Lite software and any USB cable
to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a
blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or consult your power
protection software manual for more information.
Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original bat-
tery in your UPS will last several years. Refer to "Battery Warnings"
in the Safety section on page 2. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of
UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite
on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate
the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
Power Sensitivity/Lowline Adjustment: This dial is normally set
fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect against
waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs,
the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sinewave power
from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In
some areas with poor utility power or where the UPS's input power
comes from a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic
waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too
often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how
often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion or
brownouts by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the
dial is turned clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations
in its input power's AC waveform and reduces the voltage point at
which it switches to battery. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted
clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion and the
lower the input voltage the UPS will allow to pass to connected
equipment. When experimenting with different settings for this dial,
operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the
equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS's output can be
evaluated without disrupting critical operations. The experiment should
last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encountered.
External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): Use to connect
a single Tripp Lite external battery pack for additional runtime. The
specifications section of this manual lists the Tripp Lite external battery
pack that is compatible with select models. Refer to instructions
available with the battery pack for complete connection information
and safety warnings.
