Basic Operation (Continued)

Resettable Input Circuit Breaker: Protects your electrical circuit from overcurrent draw from the UPS load. If this breaker trips, remove some of the load,

then reset it by pressing it in.

“ECO CONTROL” Button: Use this button

to enable or disable the ECO feature. See the ECO Energy-Saving Feature section for more information.

“ECO STATUS” LED: This green LED

lights when the ECO feature has been enabled. The LED blinks every 5 seconds when the UPS system has

turned off the ECO outlets to conserve energy. See the ECO Energy-Saving Feature section for more information.

Surge-Only Protected ECO Outlets: These outlets provide surge and noise protection, but not battery backup. Your UPS system can save energy by

automatically turning off these outlets when it detects that your computer is turned off or in standby mode. Make sure that any devices connected to the

ECO outlets can be turned off without interrupting your Internet connection, local network or other essential services. See the ECO Energy-Saving Feature

section for more information.

Battery Replacement (bottom panel, not shown): Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement

should be performed only by qualied service personnel. During battery replacement, qualied service personnel should refer to “Battery Warnings” in the

Safety section and should observe the following procedure: turn the UPS off, unplug the power cord and remove the two screws on the UPS bottom panel to

access the internal battery. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.

Storage and Service

Storage

To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second.

Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the

UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second, and allow

the batteries to recharge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
