10. Maintenance

10.2 UPS

Cleaning
Regularly clean the UPS, especially the vents and openings, to ensure air flows freely into the UPS
to avoid overheating. If necessary, use compressed air to clean the vents and openings to prevent
any object from blocking or covering these areas.
Fan
Higher temperatures shorten fan life. When the UPS is running, ensure each fan works normally and
make sure air can move freely around and through the UPS.
Note: Contact Tripp Lite Tech Support for more maintenance information. Do not perform maintenance if you are
not qualified to do so.

Regular Inspection

Check the UPS every six months and inspect:
1. The UPS, LEDs and alarm function for normal operation.
2. Battery voltage; if battery voltage is too high or too low, see Troubleshooting table in Section 9.

10.3 Batteries

The SUINT-series UPS uses sealed lead-acid batteries. Typical battery life is 3-5 years; however
actual battery life depends on temperature, usage and charging/discharging frequency. High
temperature environments and high charging/discharging frequency will shorten the battery life.
The UPS does not require maintenance by the user; however, the batteries should be checked
periodically. Follow the guidelines below to ensure a normal battery lifetime.
Keep the usage temperature at 20° to 25°C.
Idle batteries must be fully recharged every three months if the UPS is stored for an extended period
of time. Fully charge the batteries (internal and external) until the Battery Level Bar Graph
shown on the UPS system's LCD is fully on.
Note: Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If the UPS system's internal
batteries need to be replaced, please contact your Tripp Lite dealer. During battery replacement, the loads
attached to the UPS will not be protected if input power fails.
