Chapter 3 Operation 3.1 Standby Mode When the UPS is turned off and plugged into a wall outlet or other power source, the UPS is in Standby Mode. The Power On indicator is off, indicating that power is not available from the rear receptacles. 3.2 Turning the UPS On For normal AC startup of the UPS, follow these steps: 1. Connect the UPS AC power cord to a properly grounded NEMA 5-15R wall outlet. 2. Press the power button lightly for two seconds to start the UPS in Normal mode. The green LED will turn on and stay illuminated. See 1.4 Physical Features for an illustration of the green LED indicator location on the back panel. 3. Plug your load equipment into the outlets on the back of the UPS. These outlets provide both surge and battery backup capabilities. NOTE The Tripp Lite Series UPS system is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to the outlets exceeds the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look at its nameplate. If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. For example 1A × 120 = 120VA. If you suspect you have overloaded the outlets, remove some equipment. 4. Register your UPS at tripplite.eaton.com . 3.3 Cold Start To turn on the UPS without utility power, hold the ON/OFF button for two seconds. The green LED will flash every ten seconds, indicating it is on battery power. NOTE The UPS does not automatically detect the input frequency when starting on the battery. The default frequency for 120V models is 60 Hz. 3.4 Turning the UPS Off To turn off the UPS, hold the ON/OFF button on the front panel for two seconds and then unplug the UPS from the power source. If you do not unplug the UPS, it remains in Standby Mode. 3.5 Audible Alarm Enable/Disable The UPS audible alarm controls operate independently from Line Mode to Battery Mode and can be enabled or disabled in the following modes of operation: Line Mode NOTE The default setting for the Line Mode alarm tone is enabled. • To permanently disable all the alarm tones for Line Mode and in Battery Mode, press and hold the power button for ten seconds. The red LED will flash, and the UPS alarm tone will sound, indicating the alarm is now disabled. • To enable the alarm tone in Line Mode, press and hold the power button for ten seconds. The green LED will flash, and the UPS alarm tone will sound, indicating the alarm is enabled. Tripp Lite Series UPS Systems User Guide 93470A-Rev A 9
