Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be
followed while installing, operating & storing all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive
contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32° F and
104° F (between 0° C and 40° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not remove or
modify the ground connector of your UPS's plug. Do not use two-prong
adapters with the UPS's plug.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your war-
ranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the genera-
tor must provide clean, filtered computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warning
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which
a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or
significantly alter the performance of a life-support device.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS
except to replace batteries. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Battery replacement should be performed by qualified service personnel.
Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high
short-circuit current, service personnel should observe proper precautions.
Use tools with insulated handles, remove all metal hand jewelry and when
possible work with only one hand to reduce the danger of shock. Replace the
existing batteries with an equal number of new batteries of the same type. Do
not open the sealed lead-acid batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery ter-
minals with any object.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal require-
ments or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for com-
plete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may
be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Only connect Tripp Lite battery packs of the correct voltage to your UPS’s
external battery connectors.
• Do not connect or disconnect external battery packs while the UPS is operat-
ing from battery.
• Do not operate your UPS without batteries.
