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 may affect your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

•Use caution when lifting UPS.

•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 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.

•Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel 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

•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.

•Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS’s plug in a way that would eliminate the UPS’s connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS’s connection to ground.

•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 filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

•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 visit www.tripplite.com/UPSbatteryrecycling 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/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
