Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of this UPS System. Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

•The UPS is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and installing.

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

•Install your UPS in a structurally sound area.

•Only operate your UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). 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. Do not obstruct its ventilation fans or openings.

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

•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.

UPS Connection Warnings

•The power supply for this unit must be split-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

•Connect your UPS system only to a four-wire input power connection (L1, L2, N, G). This UPS requires an input neutral connection.

•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. (Note: Model SU8000RT4U has a hardwire input instead of an input cord/plug.)

•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 may affect 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 may affect its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•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. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide

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

•Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Maintenance Warnings

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

Battery Warnings

•The internal batteries in your UPS are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or if in the USA call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information. CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as this could cause the battery to explode.

•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 in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or

1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com 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 www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

•Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.

•Fuses should be replaced only by factory-authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

•Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.

•Do not connect or disconnect external battery pack(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery.

•During hot-swap battery replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a blackout or other power interruptions.

•Do not operate UPS without batteries.

•When adding external battery packs to models with external battery pack connectors, connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of the correct voltage and type.
