Service

Before returning your Inverter/Charger for service, follow these steps: 1.) Review the installation and operation instructions to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the circuit breaker(s) are not tripped.* 2.) If the problem continues, do not contact or return the Inverter/Charger to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service tech- nician will ask for the Inverter/Charger’s model number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone. 3.) If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. Securely pack the Inverter/Charger to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging.** Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the Inverter/Charger incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. Inverter/Chargers shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite serv- ice center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the Inverter/Charger is with- in the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the Inverter/Charger for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.

* This is a common cause of service inquiries which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual. ** If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you proper packaging.
