Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings 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
• Install UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or
direct sunlight.
• Keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of UPS for proper ventilation.
• 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 UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug UPS into itself; this
will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect UPS to an AC outlet.
• If UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean,
filtered, computer-grade output.
• The main socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be installed near the UPS and should be
easily accessible.
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 UPS. This might damage
the UPS and will void the surge protector and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• 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
www.tripplite.com/UPSbatteryrecycling 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
