Important Safety Instructions

Tripp Lite’s Medical-Grade, Mobile Power Retrofit Kit includes two modules: a Power Supply Module and a Battery Module. When the two modules are connected (and attached to a remote user interface), they provide AC power for a variety of equipment on mobile medical carts. The following instructions refer to the kit as a single unit as well as its component parts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Medical-Grade, Mobile Power Retrofit Kits. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

Power Supply Module & Battery Module Location Warnings

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

•Install your Power Supply Module and Battery Module indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight and conductive contaminants.

•Although the Power Supply Module is designed to support computer equipment, do not install it in direct contact with magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

•Your Power Supply Module and Battery Module are not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

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

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the Power Supply Module and Battery Module for proper ventilation.

Power Supply Module Connection Warnings

•Do not operate the Power Supply Module without connecting it to a Battery Module and the Remote User Interface (RUI). The Power Supply Module will not operate (with or without utility power) until the Battery Module and RUI are connected.

•Do not allow objects to contact the Power Supply Module’s two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury or property damage could result.

•Connect your Power Supply Module directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the Power Supply Module into itself; this will damage the unit. The Power Supply Module features a hospital-grade plug. If the plug is connected to a wall outlet that is not hospital-grade, the unit may not be properly grounded.

•Do not modify the Power Supply Module’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the Power Supply Module’s ground connection.

•Do not use extension cords to connect the Power Supply Module to an AC outlet.

•If the Power Supply Module receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Do not use Tripp Lite Power Supply Modules for life support devices in which a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite Power Supply Module could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life-support device.

•The Power Supply Module is designed to accept connection of equipment mounted on the same mobile cart. Connecting equipment which is not mounted on the same cart as the Power Supply Module could pose a safety hazard.

•Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your Power Supply Module. This may damage the Power Supply Module and will void the surge suppressor and Power Supply Module warranties.
