2. IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
• The UPS system contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live, even when the UPS is not connected to an AC
supply.
• 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.
• The Protective Earth Ground must be installed first prior to any power connections made to the equipment.
• Installation and wiring must be performed in accordance with local electrical laws and regulations.
• A readily accessible disconnect device shall be provided external to the equipment in the end installation.
• The disconnection device must break line and neutral conductors: four connectors for three phases (L1, L2, L3 and N).
• The UPS models covered on this manual are not compatible with Loads without a Neutral Reference or a Delta load.
2.4 BATTERY WARNING
This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. The UPS is designed to supply power even when disconnected from utility power. Only AUTHORIZED
SERVICE PERSONNEL should access the interior of the UPS, after disconnecting utility and DC power.
Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Battery connection or replacement should be performed
only by qualified service personnel, observing proper precautions. Turn off the UPS before connecting or disconnecting internal batteries. Use
tools with insulated handles. Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.
• The batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements or visit tripplite.com/support/recycling-program for recycling
information.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, mutilate the batteries or open the battery coverings. Escaping electrolytes may be toxic and cause
injury to skin and eyes.
• Do not disconnect the batteries while the UPS is in battery mode.
• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting terminals.
• The following precautions should be observed:
1. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries or battery cabinets.
5. Determine whether the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded
battery can result in electric shock. The likelihood of an electric shock is reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
• Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel, using the same number and type of batteries
(sealed lead acid).
• If the UPS system remains off for an extended period of time, it should be turned on periodically and the batteries should be fully charged.
See
Section 14.1: UPS and Battery Storage
for battery storage recommendations. Failure to recharge the batteries may cause irreversible
battery damage.
