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
• The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment, away from excess
moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• For optimum performance, maintain an indoor temperature between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
• 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
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20A maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• 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
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
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 suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might
damage the UPS and may affect 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.
• 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 www.
tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.
