Important Safety Instructions
UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• 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 the 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 plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. The warranty will
be void if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect the
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 applications 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 the UPS. This
may damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any
reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns 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. Use tools with insulated handles. 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 in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or
1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling
information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery
