Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during
the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these
warnings may affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS system. Because of the considerable weight of all
rack-mount UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing
them.
• Install the UPS system indoors in an area free from excess moisture, heat, dust,
conductive contaminants, and direct sunlight.
• The UPS system operating temperature is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). For optimum
battery performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68° and
77°F (20° and 25°C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS system for proper ventilation. Do
not obstruct its vents or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in tower orientation, make sure the LCD screen panel
is at the top of the UPS system, not at the bottom.
• 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.
• The UPS system must be returned to Tripp Lite for battery replacement. Visit
www.tripplite.com/support and click the product returns link to request a Returned
Material Authorization (RMA) number (an RMA number is required for servce). Once
the product request information is completed, an assigned RMA number and shipping
instructions will be sent to your email account. See Storage and Service for more
information.
UPS Connection Warnings
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided
with branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
Short circuit backup protection overcurrent protection is provided by the
building installation. Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the
installation in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• The UPS system contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be
live even when the UPS system is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the UPS system to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the
UPS system's plug in a way that would eliminate its connection to ground. Do not use
adapters that eliminate the UPS system's connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS system into itself. This will damage the UPS system and void the
warranty.
• If connecting the UPS system to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output.
