UPS Location Warnings
• Your UPS incorporates fusing only in the ungrounded phase conductor. UL2601-1 certified
UPS systems (see Specifications) must not be used in countries other than the United States
and Canada and must be used only in health care facilities on grounded systems where
conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified
persons will service the electrical distribution system.
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight and
conductive contaminants.
• Your UPS is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air,
oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between between 32º F and 104º F
(0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the 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 the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be voided
if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support devices in which a malfunction or failure
of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a
life-support device.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This may
damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor 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.
• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current,
observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement.
Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the same number and
type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the
battery terminals with any object.
• Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).
Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the
specific replacement battery for your UPS.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the
USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit
www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• If your UPS is equipped with an external battery connector, only connect Tripp Lite external
battery packs of the appropriate voltage.
• If your UPS is not equipped with an external battery connector, do not attempt to add external
