Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should
be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS
systems. Failure to follow these warnings will void your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive
contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32° F and
104° F (between 0° C and 40° 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 between the UPS and 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 Warning
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support appliances 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 might damage your UPS and will void both the surge suppressor
and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS
except to replace batteries. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Battery replacement should be performed by qualified service personnel.
Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high
short-circuit current, service personnel should observe proper precautions.
Use tools with insulated handles, remove all metal hand jewelry and when
possible work with only one hand to reduce the danger of shock. Replace the
existing batteries with an equal number of new batteries of the same type.
Do not open the sealed lead-acid batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery
terminals with any object.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal require-
ments or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for
complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may
be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Only connect Tripp Lite battery packs of the correct voltage to your UPS’s
external battery connectors.
• Do not connect or disconnect external battery packs while the UPS is
operating from battery.
• Do not operate your UPS without batteries.
