Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.

UPS Location Warnings

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

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

Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.

UPS Connection Warnings

Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS's plug. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's ground line.

Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.

If you are connecting your UPS to 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 to the output of your UPS. This may damage your UPS and will void both 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.

Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, qualified service personnel should observe proper precautions: Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles and replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

Do not attempt to add external batteries.
