Important Safety Warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of all Tripp Lite SmartOnline 3-Phase UPS Systems (50kVA and above) and their batteries. All UPS connection and maintenance
must be performed by qualified service personnel. The UPS should only be installed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60364-4-48.
(The UPS complies with EN 50091-1-1, EN 50091-2, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, IEC 61000-4-3 Level 3, IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4, IEC 61000-4-5
Level 4 and IEC 61000-4-6.)
Service personnel should familiarize themselves with symbols marked on the UPS:
This symbol indicates a protective grounding terminal (a terminal which must be connected to earth ground prior to making any other
connection to the equipment).
This symbol indicates a terminal to which or from which a direct current or voltage may be applied or supplied.
This symbol indicates the word phase.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS indoors, away from heat, direct sunlight, dust, and excess moisture or other conductive contaminants.
• Install the UPS away from flammable liquids and gases. Do not let the unit come in contact with water or other liquids.
• Install the UPS in a structurally sound area. Your UPS is extremely heavy. Flooring must be able to support the weight of all UPS modules.
Take care when moving and lifting the unit.
• Only operate the UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C) with humidity within a range of 0 to 95%
(non-condensing). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation: at least 40 inches (100 cm) from front panel and 20 inches (50 cm)
from top, rear and side panels. Do not cover ventilation openings on the unit.
• Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
• 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
• The power supply for this unit must be three-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded
according to all applicable local electrical wiring regulations.
• The UPS must be isolated prior to any connection or maintenance. A readily-accessible disconnect device must be incorporated into the wiring
following all local electrical codes. The disconnect device must be four-pole and must be able to disconnect all line conductors and the neutral
conductor.
• Due to high leakage current, a ground connection is essential.
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 use this equipment in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• The UPS is designed to power computer equipment. Do not use the UPS with purely inductive or capacitive loads.
• The UPS System includes its own energy source (external battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to
an AC supply.
Battery Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Risk of electrocution is possible when battery module is connected to the power module. Qualified service personnel must disconnect the
batteries prior to maintenance.
• 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 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 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.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements.mportant Safety
Warnings (continued)
• Connect only Tripp Lite battery modules to the UPS's external battery hardware terminals.
• Do not operate the UPS without batteries.
• Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.
• Potentially lethal voltages exist within the UPS as long as the battery supply is connected. Service and repair should be done only by trained
personnel. During any service work, the UPS should be turned off or put into manual bypass and fuses removed from all connected battery
modules.
• Do not connect or disconnect the battery modules while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.
