Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! The mounting shelves are not intended to support more than one battery pack. Do not stack multiple
battery packs on a single set of mounting shelves. Failure to follow this warning may lead to product damage
and/or risk of personal bodily harm.
• Use caution when lifting battery packs. Because of the considerable weight of all battery packs, at least two
people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Make certain the battery packs and UPS use the same DC voltage before connecting them.
• 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.
• Suggested mounting procedures are for common rack types and may not be appropriate for all rack configurations. User
must determine the fitness of rack and wall-mount hardware and procedures before mounting.
• Install the battery pack at a height not exceeding 1 m (3.3 ft.).
• Your battery pack provides a means of equipotential protective bonding for safety purposes. Using the included battery
cable, be sure to connect the grounding wire between the metal enclosure of the battery pack and the metal enclosure of
the UPS.
• Use only Tripp Lite battery packs with overcurrent protection. Contact Tripp Lite customer support at tripplite.com/support
for appropriate models.
CAUTION: Only qualified professional electrical service personnel should perform installation.
• When connecting multiple battery packs to a single UPS, the battery packs should be approximately the same age.
• It is normal for sparks to occur when connecting external batteries.
• Do not unplug external batteries from the UPS while the UPS is operating on battery power, due to the possibility of
dangerous arcing.
• 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 tripplite.com/support/recycling-program 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
tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
