attempting to install the UPs system.
UPs Location Warnings
• The UPS is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and installing.
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.
• Install the UPS in a structurally sound area.
• Only operate the UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor
temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its ventilation fans or openings.
• Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
• If you are installing the UPS in a stack configuration, always stack the power module above the battery module(s).
•
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
• The power supply for this unit must be split-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.
• Connect the UPS system only to a four-wire input power connection (L1, L2, N, G). This UPS requires an input neutral connection.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power source. Do not modify the input connection in a way that would eliminate the
connection to ground.
• Do not use adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.
• Do not connect the UPS input to its output; this will damage the UPS and void the warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated
computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
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
• The UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an
AC power source.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might overload the UPS and will void the surge
suppressor and UPS warranties.
Maintenance Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Battery Warnings
• Do not operate the UPS without connecting the power module to an external battery module.
• Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs to the battery connectors. Connect battery packs of the correct voltage and type.
• The internal batteries in the battery pack are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA call
800-SAV-LEAD (800-728-5323) or 800-8-BATTERY (800-822-8837), or go to www.rbrc.com for complete recycling information.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as this could cause the batteries to explode.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn 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. Unplug and turn off the
UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. 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
