Frequently Asked Questions - SMX500RT1U Tripp Lite

How to install the SMX500RT1U UPS?
Plug the UPS into a properly grounded AC outlet on a dedicated circuit. Use the included C13 or C14 power cord. Once plugged in, the UPS begins charging its batteries but will only power outlets after pressing the ON/OFF button for one second. For rackmount installation, attach the included mounting ears. Refer to the manual for details.
What do the LED indicators on the front panel mean?
The solid green POWER LED indicates normal AC power; blinking with alarm means battery operation. VOLTAGE CORRECTION green lights up during automatic voltage correction. OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL multicolor indicates load: green = low, yellow = medium, red = overload. BATTERY CHARGE indicates charge status: red = low, yellow = half, green = full. BATTERY WARNING red with intermittent alarm signals a battery needing charge or replacement.
How to perform a self-test of the UPS?
With the UPS powered on, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds until the alarm sounds several times. The UPS switches to battery mode for about 10 seconds. If the red OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL LED stays on, unplug some devices to eliminate overload. If BATTERY WARNING stays on, recharge the batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test.
How to replace the UPS batteries?
Battery replacement can be performed hot (UPS powered on). Remove the front panel, disconnect the connectors (black and red), remove the old batteries, insert new ones respecting polarity, reconnect the connectors, and replace the front panel. Use only Tripp Lite replacement batteries of the same type (sealed lead-acid). Refer to the manual for safety precautions.
What is the runtime at full load?
The runtime at full load (300 W) is approximately 3 minutes. This time may vary depending on battery condition. For maximum runtime, charge the batteries for 24 hours before first use.
Can I plug a surge protector or extension cord into the UPS output?
No, it is not recommended to plug surge protectors or extension cords into the UPS output outlets. This could overload the UPS and void the warranty of both the surge protector and the UPS.
How to store the UPS for a long period?
Turn off the UPS: press ON/OFF for one second, then unplug it from the outlet. Recharge the batteries every three months by plugging in the UPS for 12 hours. Do not leave the batteries discharged for long periods, as this permanently reduces their capacity.
Can the UPS be used with a generator?

"MUTE/TEST" Button

To Silence (or "Mute") UPS Alarms: Briefly press and release the "MUTE/TEST" button.

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 the UPS is not turned on (see "ON/OFF/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.

* The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.

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.

- 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 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 tripplite.com to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

Basic Operation

Indicator Lights (Front Panel)

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.

Tripp Lite SMX500RT1U - Indicator Lights (Front Panel) - 1

"POWER" LED: This green LED lights continuously when the UPS is ON and supplying connected equipment with AC power from a utility source. The LED flashes and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries during a blackout or severe brownout. If the blackout or severe brownout is prolonged, you should save files and shut down your equipment, since internal battery power will eventually be depleted. See "BATTERY CHARGE" LED description below.

Tripp Lite SMX500RT1U - Indicator Lights (Front Panel) - 2

"VOLTAGE CORRECTION" LED: This green LED lights continuously whenever the UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC voltage on the utility line without the assistance of battery power. The UPS will also emit a slight clicking noise. These are normal, automatic operations of the UPS; no action is required on your part.

Tripp Lite SMX500RT1U - Indicator Lights (Front Panel) - 3

"OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED: This multicolored LED indicates the approximate electrical load of equipment connected to the UPS's AC outlets. It will turn from green (light load) to yellow (medium load) to red (overload). If the LED is red (either illuminated continuously or flashing), clear the overload immediately by unplugging some of your equipment from the outlets until the LED changes from red to yellow (or green). CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.

Tripp Lite SMX500RT1U - Indicator Lights (Front Panel) - 4

"BATTERY CHARGE" LED: 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) which 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.

Tripp Lite SMX500RT1U - Indicator Lights (Front Panel) - 5

"BATTERY WARNING" LED: This LED lights red and an alarm sounds intermittently after you complete 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 triplite.com to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

Storage and Service

Storage

Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF: With the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and hold the "ON/OFF/STANDBY" button for one second (an alarm will beep once briefly after the interval has passed), then unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If you store your UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries once every three months: plug the UPS into a wall outlet, allow it to charge for 12 hours, and then unplug it and place it back in storage. Note: after you plug the UPS in, it will automatically begin charging its batteries. However, it will not supply power to its outlets (see Quick Installation section). If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps:

  1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the UPS System's circuit breaker(s) are not tripped. This is the most common cause of service inquiries, which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual.
  2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, contact Tripp Lite at triplite.com/support. A service technician will ask for the UPS's model number, serial number and purchase date.
  3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the UPS for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.

Battery Replacement

Under normal conditions, the original batteries in your UPS will last many years. See “Safety” section before replacing batteries. The batteries are designed for hot-swap replacement (i.e. leaving the UPS in ON mode), but qualified service personnel may wish to put the UPS in the OFF mode before proceeding.
