Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during 

the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Inverters.

Warning!

•  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 operate your Inverter near flammable materials, fumes or gases.

Caution!

•  Since the Inverter requires adequate ventilation during operation, do not block fan or cooling vents 

or cover the Inverter, and do not operate near vehicle heating vents or in direct sunlight. Keep the 
Inverter dry at all times and disconnect when not in use.

•  Turn OFF connected equipment before starting your engine. DO NOT plug a surge protector, line 

conditioner or UPS system into the Inverter. If you attach AC extension cords, use the heaviest 
practical gauge.

•  Before connecting a battery charger or adapter, check its manual to make sure that the Inverter’s 

specifications (including output waveform) fall within its recommendations.

• 

 For PV375USB and PV400USB models:

 Do not allow objects to contact the DC input terminals 

or battery terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury or 
property damage could result.
