“BATTERY CHARGE / BATTERY POWER” LED:
For SmartPro Models Only: when the UPS is operating from utility
power, this LED indicates the approximate charge state of the UPS’s
internal batteries: red indicates the batteries are beginning to charge;
yellow indicates the batteries are roughly midway through charging;
and green indicates the batteries are fully charged. When the UPS is
operating from battery power during a blackout or severe brownout,
this LED indicates the approximate amount of energy (ultimately
affecting runtime) that the UPS’s batteries will provide: red indicates
a low level of energy; yellow indicates a medium level of energy; and
green indicates a high level of energy. Since the runtime performance of
all UPS batteries will gradually deplete over time, it is recommended
that you periodically perform a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button
description) to determine the energy level of your UPS batteries
BEFORE a blackout or severe brownout occurs. During a prolonged
blackout or severe brownout, you should save files and shut down
your equipment since battery power will eventually be depleted.
When the LED turns red and an alarm sounds continuously, it indicates
the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power and UPS shut down is imminent.
For OmniSmart Models Only: this LED will illuminate when your
UPS is providing your equipment with battery backup power.
“BATTERY WARNING” LED: this LED lights red and an alarm
sounds intermittently after you initiate a self test (See “MUTE/TEST”
Button description) to indicate 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 continues to light, contact Tripp Lite
for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.trip-
plite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite
replacement battery for your UPS.
