Indicator Lights (Front Panel)
POWER: Lights green when the UPS is receiving AC power. Illuminates constantly
when the UPS is in the ON mode, indicating that batteries are charging and
connected equipment is receiving filtered AC power. Flashes while in STANDBY
mode to indicate that batteries are charging but connected equipment is not
receiving power.
BATTERY CHARGE: This multicolored light displays 6 separate UPS battery
charge conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full)
to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, your UPS is in
the ON or STANDBY mode, operating from line power, and the battery is
charging. Whenever this light is flashing, your UPS is in the INVERT mode
(operating from battery) and its battery is discharging. If the light is flashing
red, your UPS battery is running out of power; you should save files and shut
down your equipment immediately.
OUTPUT LOAD: This multicolored light shows how heavy your UPS’s load
is. Steady green indicates a light load, steady yellow a medium load. When the
light is red, your UPS is supporting a load above 85% of its capacity. If the red
light begins flashing, then your inverter is severely overloaded. Immediately
remove load from the UPS until the light stops flashing.
REPLACE BATTERY: Lights red if your UPS’s self-test (initiated with the
MUTE/TEST Switch) reveals a low battery charge or internal fault. If this light
turns on, let the UPS charge for 12 hours then perform a second self-test. If the
light stays on, contact Tripp Lite for service.
