MUTE/TEST Button To Silence (Mute) UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the MUTE/ TEST button. Note: continuous alarms (warning you to immediately shut down connected equipment) cannot be silenced. To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a self-test. See "Results of a Self-Test" below. Note: you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will not perform a self-test if you have placed it in "Charge-Only" mode (see "ON/OFF" Button description). 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. Results of a Self-Test: 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. • If the "OVERLOAD" LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, 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 "OVER- LOAD" 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. • If the REPLACE BATTERY LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 2-4 hours, and repeat the selftest. 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. 5 11/2/2009 1:17:18 PM
