Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may
affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS system. Because of the considerable weight of all rack-mount
UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS system indoors in an area free from excess moisture, heat, dust, conductive
contaminants, and direct sunlight.
• The UPS system operating temperature is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). For optimum battery
performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68° and 77°F
(20° and 25°C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS system for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct
its vents or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in tower orientation, make sure the LCD screen panel is at the
top of the UPS system, not at the bottom.
• 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.
• The UPS system must be returned to Tripp Lite for battery replacement. Visit www.tripplite.
com/support and click the product returns link to request a Returned Material Authorization
(RMA) number (an RMA number is required for servce). Once the product request information
is completed, an assigned RMA number and shipping instructions will be sent to your email
account. See

for more information.
UPS Connection Warnings
•
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit
overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. Short circuit backup protection overcurrent protection
is provided by the building installation. Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the
installation in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• The UPS system contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even
when the UPS system is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the UPS system to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS
system’s plug in a way that would eliminate its connection to ground. Do not use adapters that
eliminate the UPS system’s connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS system into itself. This will damage the UPS system and void the warranty.
• If connecting the UPS system to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
filtered, frequency-regulated 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 connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS system. This might
damage the UPS system and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.
