Important Safety Instructions

Statement of Intended Use

Tripp Lite Medical-Grade UPS Systems are intended to support and protect non-medical computer equipment and medical devices that require leakage current reduction, surge protection, voltage regulation, line noise filtering and battery backup during power outages and generator testing, both inside and outside patient care areas. Tripp Lite’s Medical-Grade UPS Systems come with hospital-grade plugs and receptacles that reduce leakage to below 100µA.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

Note: Your UPS incorporates fusing only in the ungrounded phase conductor. UL 60601-1 certified UPS systems must not be used in countries other than the United States and Canada and must be used only in healthcare facilities on grounded systems where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons will service the electrical distribution system.

UPS Location Warnings

•Relevant symbols

•Do not use this equipment within oxygen-enriched atmospheres, or within 0.3 m (1 ft.) of a point at which an oxygen-enriched atmosphere is intentionally vented.

•Use caution when lifting UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all 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 UPS should be used in a location that meets the following conditions: Temperature: 0 to 40° C (32 to 104° F); Humidity: 0 to 95% (non-condensing); Elevation: <6,562 ft. (2,000 m) above sea level; Pressure: <95kPA

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.

UPS Connection Warnings

•The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

•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.
