Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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

Location Warnings

•Install your Inverter/Charger in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust, direct sunlight and moisture. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short-circuit and could cause personal injury due to electric shock.

•For proper ventilation, allow a minimum 2 inches of clearance at front and back of the Inverter/Charger. To avoid overheating the Inverter, the compartment that houses the Inverter/Charger must be properly ventilated with adequate outside air flow. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.

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

•Do not install the Inverter/Charger near flammable materials, fuel or chemicals.

Battery Connection Warnings

•Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of identical voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.

•Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries if they are not well ventilated, do not install batteries in a

“dead air” compartment. The battery compartment should have some ventilation to outside air.

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

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

Ground Connection Warnings

•Safe operation requires connecting the Inverter/Charger’s Main Ground Terminal directly to the frame of the vehicle or earth ground.

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.

•You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the output of the Inverter/Charger.

•User must supply proper protection for wire openings in unit panels.

Operation Warnings

•Your Inverter does not require routine maintenance.

•Potentially lethal voltages exist within the Inverter/Charger as long as the battery supply is connected. During any service work, the battery supply should therefore be disconnected.

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