Important Safety Instruction

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

APS Location Warnings

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

•Your APS is NOT waterproof. Contact with water can cause the unit to short circuit and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse your APS. Mount it in the driest location available.

•Leave adequate space around all sides of the APS for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the APS.

•When mounting unit on a vertical surface, mount it with the control panel facing to the side to reduce the risk of foreign objects entering the APS enclosure.

•Do not install the APS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

Battery Connection Warnings

•Your APS will not operate with or without utility power until batteries are connected.

•Multiple battery systems must be made up of batteries of the same voltage, age, amp hour capacity and type.

•Keep battery location well ventilated. Explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries if they are not kept well ventilated.

•Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as batteries are connected.

•Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious injury to property or person could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Do not use Tripp Lite APS Systems in life support applications where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite APS System could cause failure or significantly alter the perform- ance of a life support device.

•Do not connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS to the output of the APS.

•Corded models: Do not modify the APS’s plug in a way that eliminates its ground connection. Do not use power adaptors that will eliminate the plug's ground connection. Connect your APS only to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug your APS into itself; this will damage the APS and void your warranty.

Operation Warnings

•Your APS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your APS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

•Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply and/or AC input are connected. During any service work, the battery supply and AC input connection (if any) should therefore be disconnected.

•Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the APS is operating from the battery supply. Dangerous arcing may result.

Alternative Power Source specifications

Tripp Lite, a leader in power protection, offers a range of alternative power sources designed to meet the diverse needs of users in both residential and commercial settings. Their innovative solutions focus on reliability, performance, and versatility, making Tripp Lite a trusted name for those seeking uninterrupted power supply.

One of the standout products in their lineup is the Tripp Lite UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system, which ensures that critical equipment remains powered during outages. These UPS units typically feature advanced technologies such as Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which corrects minor power fluctuations without switching to battery. This feature helps extend battery life and ensure equipment receives a stable power supply.

Tripp Lite’s UPS models come equipped with a variety of output options, including multiple outlets for connecting devices. Many units also feature USB ports for charging mobile devices or connecting to computers for power management through Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert software. This software provides real-time monitoring and alerts, allowing users to track battery performance and receive notifications about power events.

In addition to UPS systems, Tripp Lite offers portable power stations as alternative energy solutions. These stations are particularly useful for outdoor enthusiasts, contractors, or anyone needing temporary power away from the grid. With features such as pure sine wave output, users can run sensitive electronics without the risk of damage. The battery technology used in these power stations often includes lithium-ion for lightweight portability and enhanced efficiency, ensuring a reliable power supply on the go.

Tripp Lite’s commitment to safety is evident in their products, which include built-in surge protection to guard devices against voltage spikes and electrical surges. Many models are designed with a user-friendly interface, featuring clear display screens that show battery status, load levels, and remaining runtime, making it easy for users to monitor their power situation.

Furthermore, Tripp Lite understands the importance of sustainability. They strive to design their products with energy efficiency in mind, often adhering to stringent environmental standards during production and operation.

In conclusion, Tripp Lite’s alternative power sources embody the features and technologies that businesses and consumers require for reliable power. With innovations like AVR, versatile output options, and user-friendly monitoring systems, Tripp Lite ensures that users can trust their products to provide lasting power solutions in any environment. Whether for home use, office settings, or outdoor adventures, Tripp Lite continues to pave the way in power protection and management.
