Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of all Tripp Lite SmartOnline 3-Phase UPS Systems (50kVA and above) and their batteries. All UPS connection and maintenance must be performed by qualified service personnel. The UPS should only be installed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60364-4-48. (The UPS complies with EN 50091-1-1, EN 50091-2, IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, IEC 61000-4-3 Level 3, IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4, IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 and IEC 61000-4-6.)

Service personnel should familiarize themselves with symbols marked on the UPS:

This symbol indicates a protective grounding terminal (a terminal which must be connected to earth ground prior to making any other connection to the equipment).

This symbol indicates a terminal to which or from which a direct current or voltage may be applied or supplied.

This symbol indicates the word “phase”.

UPS Location Warnings

•Install your UPS indoors, away from heat, direct sunlight, dust, and excess moisture or other conductive contaminants.

•Install your UPS away from flammable liquids and gases. Do not let the unit come in contact with water or other liquids.

•Install your UPS in a structurally sound area. Your UPS is extremely heavy. Flooring must be able to support the weight of all UPS modules. Take care when moving and lifting the unit.

•Only operate your UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C) with humidity within a range of 0 to 95% (non-condensing). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation: at least 40 inches (100 cm) from front panel and 20 inches (50 cm) from top, rear and side panels. Do not cover ventilation openings on the unit.

•Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

UPS Connection Warnings

•The power supply for this unit must be three-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded according to all applicable local electrical wiring regulations.

•The UPS must be isolated prior to any connection or maintenance. A readily-accessible disconnect device must be incorporated into the wiring following all local electrical codes. The disconnect device must be four-pole and must be able to disconnect all line conductors and the neutral conductor.

•Due to high leakage current, a ground connection is essential.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems in 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.

•The UPS is designed to power computer equipment. Do not use the UPS with purely inductive or capacitive loads.

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

Battery Warnings

•Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

•Risk of electrocution is possible when battery module is connected to the power module. Qualified service personnel must disconnect the batteries prior to maintenance.

•Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Consult your battery module manual before proceeding. Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Determine if the batteries are inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

•Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA only, refer to these sources for recycling information: 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323), 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379), or www.rbrc.com.
