Tripp Lite AVR900U Owner's Manual for AVR Series UPS 932974 - Page 3

Quick Installation 1 Plug the UPS into an outlet: After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power. 22. Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets (see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other non-essential devices here. * Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test (see "ON/OFF/TEST" Button description). Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however, maximum runtime for the unit's battery will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours. Basic Operation "ON/OFF/TEST" Button • To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST 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 batteries.** • To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated). • To run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for three seconds. CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/OFF/TEST button continuously for three seconds; if you release the button too early, you will turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads. To ensure you hold the button for the correct length of time, do not release the button until you hear the UPS System's audible alarm beep twice. The first beep occurs after one second and indicates that the UPS will turn OFF if the button is released. The second beep occurs after three seconds and indicates that the UPS will perform a self-test if the button is released. The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound. See LED descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test. Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections. *The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. **If fully charged. "ON/OFF" LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with AC power either from a utility source or from the UPS's internal batteries. If the UPS's alarm is sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause), the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. 3 201002196 93-2974.indb 3 3/10/2010 10:46:17 AM
