ALARM CAN BE TURNED OFF!

2026-01-21    -Sarah

I just wanted to let everyone know that this thing works fine and the annoying alarm *can* be turned off. First off, you need to download "PowerAlert Local Software." You can Google it, and it will take you to the Tripp Lite website where it can be downloaded. After you install it, open it up, then plug in your Tripp Lite to your computer. You can do this by putting the phone jack end in on the side of the Tripp Lite (it's on the side that the cord comes out). The USB end goes into your PC (obviously). It should be detected right away (as long as the program has been installed). Then navigate to Settings (at the top right). Then look at the top and you will see "Schemes." You'll want to change the scheme to "Business Device Management Scheme." That will unlock certain settings. After that, you'll see "Actions" at the top. Where it says "Initiate Self Test," click on that it it will reveal a drop down list. Choose "Set Audible Alarm." Make sure the value column says "1." If it doesn't, change it to "1." Then click "Execute Command." All done. Alarm disabled. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised / NOT FOR GAMING COMPUTER SAFE SHUTDOWN

This product works as advertised.Buyer beware: if you are a first time shopper for a UPS, this one will NOT maintain power for a beefy desktop computer / monitor setup during a brown out. Not even for a second, it will simply turn off the UPS killing power to everything else plugged in. This was my first purchase of a UPS, and i misinterpreted some technical information and assumed that it could handle a big computer, but only for a short amount of time, but this is NOT the case.After speaking with customer service (A++ customer service by the way), I resolved my issue of random shutdowns of the UPS by plugging my computer into the non-battery-back-up side of the UPS. I would take a star off for this product not doing what I had hoped for, but they are not at fault, as the product is not advertised to be able to handle a 650W power supply gaming computer + peripherals.PROS:-solid build, feels "serious"-works as advertised-maintains power for small power consumption devices such as a router, clock, raspberry pi 3 etc.-software works with windows 7 which is what I still use-really nice warrantyCONS:-manual for my specific device had to be found online-software had to be found online-UPS wattage rating is somewhat vague for the uninformed**not their fault

I live in an area that isn't that old and all the power is underground. So, you'd think that I wouldn't need a product like this. However, we seem to lose power several times a year and I started to get really paranoid about losing power to my ShareSpace NAS device. This was listed under the support matrix for UPS devices and was nearly the least expensive. I've read more positive reviews of this on other sites, so I thought I'd give it a try.The device works very well and is very easy to install and take advantage of. It's almost plug and play. First, you plug this into the wall socket. It has six outlets, but only three of them are protected by the battery. Next, plug in any devices that you'd like protected into the protected outlets. The UPS has a USB port, which can be used to notify ONE device to safely shutdown before the battery is depleted, due to a power outage. Next, I connected the ShareSpace to the UPS via the USB cable. I loaded up the ShareSpace GUI and went into the UPS configuration screen. It took a couple of minutes for the ShareSpace to recognize the UPS and gather information such as the current battery status.It wasn't more then a month before the UPS was tested when we lost power. During this period, the UPS continously beeped, which was to notify that the battery is in use. The ShareSpace knew that it was being protected by the UPS through the status screen. The power was out for nearly 15 minutes and the ShareSpace stayed up the whole time. Once the power was restored, everything went back to normal.Needless to say, I am extremely happy with this device. And the price point is excellent! In fact, I plan on purchasing at least one more to keep a couple more devices powered up. I highly recommend this based on an excellent value and on real world experience. Plus, if you have a ShareSpace, rest assured that this will work perfectly.

I think I got it for 80? Which was a steal. I use it to power my router cause my power goes out sometimes. It feels great to still have internet for few couple hours when the power goes out.

Excelente articulo
