Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains 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, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.

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

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

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

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 appliances 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 except battery replacement. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, 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. 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.

The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.
