Basic Operation
Front Panel Switches
“ON/TEST” Button: This switch controls four separate UPS functions:
UPS Power ON
To turn the UPS on, press this button, hold it for several seconds until
you hear a beep, then release it. The “ON LINE” LED will illuminate.
UPS Self-Test
During normal on-line operation, press this button and hold it until
you hear a beep. This initiates a 10-second self-test of the battery. The
UPS will shift to battery power (all LEDs will illuminate) for ten
seconds.
Alarm Silence
To silence the UPS “on-battery” alarm, press this button and hold it
until you hear a beep.
UPS Cold Start
To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC power is
unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), press this button and hold it until
you hear a beep. The UPS will then provide battery power to its outlets.*
* The “ON BATT” Indicator Light will be illuminated since your UPS will be operating
from battery power.
“OFF” Button: This button turns power OFF at the UPS receptacles.
Press this switch, hold it until you hear a beep, then release it. The
UPS will continue charging and the fan will continue to cool internal
components even after you turn the UPS receptacles off. To turn the
UPS OFF completely, including the charger, disconnect the UPS’s
power cord after pressing the “OFF” switch.
Front Panel Indicator Lights
“ON LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate
the UPS is performing normal on-line operation (filtering and
resynthesizing incoming AC line voltage to provide pure sine wave
output). When this light is illuminated, you can monitor the load level
of your UPS on the “LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs.
“LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate
the utility supplied AC line voltage at your wall outlet is nominal. It
will flash if the line voltage is outside the nominal range (either too
low or two high). No action is required on your part when the LED
flashes; the UPS continuously and automatically filters AC line
power to provide your equipment with pure sine wave AC power,
regardless of brownout or overvoltage conditions. If this light is off,
then AC line voltage is not present (blackout) or is at an extremely
high voltage, and the UPS will provide connected equipment with
power from battery.

Basic Operation
continued
Front Panel Indicator Lights
“BYPASS” LED: This yellow light will flash to indicate that the
UPS’s DC/AC inverter is deactivated and the UPS is in the “Bypass”
mode. During normal operation this LED will light briefly when the
unit is plugged in, but if an internal fault or overload occurs this light
will flash constantly to show that connected equipment will receive
filtered AC mains power, but will not receive battery power during a
blackout. In this case, contact Tripp Lite for service.
“FAULT” LED (select models only): This red light will flash when
your UPS detects an internal fault (overheating, overvoltages, etc.) or
when it detects a wiring fault in your wall outlet (reversed phases,
missing ground, etc.) The UPS will only detect wiring faults when it
is plugged into a utility outlet but not turned ON. If the light persists
after restarting the UPS, contact an electrician to check the AC line.
Your UPS will identify the presence of most (but not all) wiring faults.
“LOAD ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is receiving AC power to indicate that the set of four
dual-function LEDs is displaying the load level of your UPS.
“BATT ACTIVE METER” LED: This green light will illuminate
when your UPS is operating from battery power to indicate that the
set of four dual-function LEDs is displaying the battery charge level
of your UPS. Note: the “ON BATT” LED will also be illuminated.
“OVERLOAD” LED: This red light will illuminate constantly to indicate
that your UPS’s capacity has been exceeded while it is in on-line operation.
The UPS alarm will beep continuously. Immediately remove overload
until light and alarm goes off. If you do not immediately remove the
overload, the UPS will transfer from on-line to bypass operation.
“BATT LOW” LED: This yellow light will illuminate when your UPS’s
battery charge level is low. The UPS alarm will beep until either the
battery charge is depleted or the batteries are adequately recharged.
“ON BATT” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to
indicate that AC line voltage is not present and your UPS is providing
your equipment with battery power. The UPS will also beep every two
seconds, unless silenced by the “ON/TEST” Button. When this light
is illuminated, you can monitor the battery charge level of your UPS
on the “BATT ACTIVE METER” LEDs.

Input Cord: This permanently attached power cord connects your
UPS to a power outlet.
AC Receptacles (Varied by Model): These 15-, 20- and 30-amp
receptacles provide your connected equipment with pure sine-wave
AC output from the AC line during normal operation and from battery
power during blackouts and severe brownouts. Power provided at
these outlets is filtered to protect connected equipment against
damaging surges and line noise. The receptacles are divided into
numbered load banks, as labelled on the unit. Using PowerAlert
software and cabling, load banks one and two may be individually
turned off and on from a remote location, allowing users to reset or
reboot connected equipment.

Other outlet types not shown
Telephone or Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks
protect your equipment against surges over a telephone line or
telephone/network data line, depending on model. Connecting your
equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly
without this connection. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Communications
Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect your
UPS to any Media Center PC or home automation system. Use with
Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and included cables to enable your
Media Center PC, home automation system or server to automatically
save system settings and shut down equipment during a blackout.
Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide variety of AC line
power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your PowerAlert
Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more
information. See “USB and RS-232 Serial Communications” in the
“Optional Connections” section for installation instructions.
Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of
electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port's pin
assignments are shown in the diagram. If the UPS battery is low, the
UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1 and 5. If utility power fails, the
UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down
remotely, short pin 3~pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds.
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: Your UPS features a EPO port
that may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to
enable emergency inverter shutdown. See Optional Installation.
