Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all Rackmount UPS systems, at least two
people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near your UPS should be between 32° F and 104° F
(between 0° C and 40° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS's plug in a way that would
eliminate the UPS's connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's connection to ground.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated
computer-grade output. Connecting your UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance (not available
outside the US/Canada).
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS
System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life-support device.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
• Do not operate UPS without connecting it to one or more external battery packs unless you are performing hot-swap
external battery replacement.
• When adding external battery packs, connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of the correct voltage and
type. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is operating on battery power.
• During hot-swap external battery pack replacement, your UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a
blackout or other power interruptions.
