Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage
of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all Rack-Mount UPS systems, at least two people should assist in
lifting and installing them.
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near your UPS should be between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.
• 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
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS plug in a way that would eliminate the UPS connection
to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS connection to ground.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-
grade output. Connecting your UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance (not available outside the US/Canada).
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. This might overload the UPS and will void the surge
protector and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• 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 visit tripplite.com/support/recycling-program for
recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite on the Web
at tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
• Do not operate UPS without connecting it to one or more external battery packs unless you are performing hot-swap external battery
replacement.
• When adding external battery packs, connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of the correct voltage and type. Do not connect
or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is operating on battery power.
• During hot-swap external battery pack replacement, your UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a blackout or other power
interruptions.
