Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

• Use caution when lifting your UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS

systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.

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

• For best performance, the ambient temperature near your UPS should be between 0° C and

Mounting

Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure (see next page for 2-post mounting). The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its

vents or fan openings.

UPS Connection Warnings

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

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction or


1	Loosen the wingnuts			A		on each of the two adjustable

	side supports	B	; adjust the length of the supports to
	match the depth of your rack; tighten wingnuts. Mount
	both side supports in the lowest space of your rack on
	the inside surfaces of the rails with user-supplied #10-
	32 rack bolts and washers							C	. Note: Both support
	ledges should face inward. The side supports’ front
	and back holes are threaded and do not require nuts to

failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance

of a life-support device.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might

overload the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

• 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 (1-800-8-228-8379) 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 to

locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

• During hot-swap battery replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the event of

of your UPS E using the screws provided F . The

ears should face forward.

3Using an assistant if necessary, lift your UPS and slide it onto the mounting shelves (if your model includes the shelves). Attach your UPS to the rack by using the appropriate hardware G through its mounting ears and into the rack rails.

a blackout or other power interruptions.

• Do not operate UPS without batteries.

• When adding external battery packs connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of

the correct voltage and type. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is

operating on battery power.

2-Post Rack (Telecom) Mounting

If you mount 3U UPS models in 2-post racks, they require the addition of a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKIT, sold separately). See Installation Kit owner’s manual for installation procedure for 3U UPS models.

Tower Mounting

If you tower mount this UPS, it requires the addition of a Tripp Lite 2U to 9U tower stand (model: 2-9USTAND, sold separately). See owner's manual for installation procedure.
