Safety, UPS Location Warnings | Tripp Lite SmartPro Rackmount

Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.

UPS Location Warnings

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

•For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C).

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.

UPS Connection Warnings

•Connect your UPS to a three-wire, grounded AC power outlet. Do not remove or modify the ground pin of the UPS's plug.

•Do not use two-prong adapters with the UPS's plug. 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 clean, filtered computer-grade output.

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 signifi- cantly 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.

•Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles and replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

•The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements or call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

•Do not attempt to add external batteries unless your UPS is equipped with External Battery Connectors. Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs with the correct voltage (see voltage requirements label on the rear of your UPS) and the correct connector color to match your UPS’s External Battery Connector.

•Observe proper polarity when connecting replacement batteries. Only connect Negative (black) wires to Negative (black) terminals. Only connect Positive (red) wires to Positive (red) terminals.

•During “hot-swap” battery replacement (when the UPS and connected equip- ment are turned ON) your UPS will not be able to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout because the batteries will be momentarily disconnected as they are exchanged.
