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. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

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

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.

Do not operate your UPS without connecting its input and output grounds.

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 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.

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 take caution that the battery terminals do not contact the metal housing of the UPS. 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 your UPS system.
