Basic Operation continued "MUTE/TEST" Button • To Silence (or "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 it is not turned ON (see "STANDBY" 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 battery charge. The "POWER" LED will be flashing and the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" and "BATTERY CHARGE" LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound. • If the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS's outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment and run the self test repeatedly until the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED is no longer lit red 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 severe brownout. • If the "BATTERY WARNING" 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 12 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the LED remains lit, 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. * The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. 12-11-101 93-2442.indb 5 5 12/4/2012 10:52:42 AM
