UPS Location Warnings• The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment, away from excess moisture, tempera-
ture extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rearpanel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will
seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under
warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will
damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be voided if anything other
than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS to an outlet.
• If the UPS 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 UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction or 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 damage the UPS
and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Observe prop-
er 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 dis-
posal requirements or in the USAonly call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY(1-800-822-8837)
or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement bat-
teries at www.tripplite.com.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.
STEP1: Place the UPS in either a horizontal (“desktop”) or vertical (“tower”) position. The UPS's
housing is designed with sides that slope slightly in order to tilt the LCD Display up for easy viewing in
either position—horizontal or vertical. As another aid to easy viewing, the LCD Display can be rotated.
To rotate the display: carefully insert a small tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of
the UPS housing; rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing.
CAUTION: To safely balance the UPS when it is placed in a vertical (“tower”) position, make
sure the LCD Display is located at the top of the front panel.
STEP2: Plug the UPS into an outlet that doesn’t share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*
* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the UPS on
(see Basic Operation section). Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live
utility power.
