Basic Operation
continued
"BATTERY WARNING" LED: this LED lights yellow and an alarm
sounds intermittently after you initiate a self test (See "MUTE/TEST"
Button description) 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 light,
contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement,
visit www.tripplite.com.
"SITE WIRING FAULT" LED: This yellow LED will be lit if the UPS
detects a problem with the wiring of the AC outlet you connect it to. If
this occurs, have the outlet inspected by a qualified electrician. Note
that while the UPS will detect many common wiring faults, including a
missing ground, reversed polarity and overloaded neutral circuits, it
cannot detect every conceivable wiring problem.
Other UPS Features
Voltage DIP Switch: This switch enables you to set the UPS to match
actual input voltage. If the Voltage DIP Switch is set above or below
input voltage, the UPS will treat the input as a continuous overvoltage
or undervoltage condition, and will automatically adjust input voltage
to match the Voltage Dip Switch setting. This will cause constant,
unnecessary wear on the UPS system. Note: The Voltage DIP
Switch must be set with the UPS turned OFF and disconnected
from utility power. If the switch is set while the UPS is
connected to utility power, the setting will not take effect.
AC Receptacles: These output receptacles provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery
power during power outages. The UPS protects equipment connected
to these receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. Select
outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection for
computers, monitors and other critical devices into these outlets.
Select outlets provide surge protection only for printers and other non-
essential devices that draw large amounts of power.
Communication Ports (USB and RS-232): These ports connect your
UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert
Software and included cables to enable your computer to
automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a
blackout. Also use PowerAlert Software to monitor a wide variety of AC
USB Port
line power and UPS operating conditions. Consult your PowerAlert
Software manual or contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more
information. See "USB Communications" and "RS-232 Serial
Communications" in the "Optional Installation" section for installation
RS-232
instructions.
