UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between between 32º F and 104º F
(0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in
this manner will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling, eventually causing product
damage not covered under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect the UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS
into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the ground
connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can
reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to
significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this
equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous
oxide.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This
might damage the UPS and may affect the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any reason.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current.
Observe proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the
UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Use tools
with insulated handles. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized
service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). The
batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or in the USA
only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com
for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement
