Storage and Service

Storage

Before storing your UPS, place it in the OFF mode by putting it in STANDBY, then unplugging it (See Basic Operation). If you store your UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by following Step 1 in the Connection section and allowing the UPS to charge for 4-6 hours before placing it back in storage. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

If returning your UPS for service, contact your local Tripp Lite dealer or distributor. They will refer you to a service center. Please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem. If the UPS is within the 2 year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.

Battery Replacement

Under normal conditions, the original batteries in your UPS will last many years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section. When replacing the batteries, qualified service personnel should use the following procedure. The UPS is designed for hot swap battery replacement, but to reduce the risk of exposure to potentially dangerous high voltages the UPS may be put in the OFF mode before battery replacement.

A

1.Make sure your UPS is not in INVERT mode, i.e. that the “ ServiceManual background+ – Manual backgroundManual background ” light is NOT flashing.

2.Remove the front panel by unscrewing the four screws in its corners. Allow it to dangle by the ribbon cable connecting the controls and LEDs to the UPS.

3.Slide the internal battery cartridges partially out of the UPS towards the front until their electrical connection (A) may be disconnected.

4.Remove batteries from the UPS completely and dispose of them properly. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section for recycling and disposal information.

5.Connect replacement batteries, making sure that the input and output cables (A) are connected as before, according to the colors in the diagram. Reassemble the UPS by reversing the steps above. Note: your new batteries should be allowed to charge for 2-4 hours before they support a load.
