Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the 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 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).

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

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

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.

If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.

The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and located near the UPS.

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 damage the UPS and may affect the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Connect the UPS to an outlet that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults as part of the building installation.

Battery Warnings

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

Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current.

Observe proper precautions. Do not open the UPS or batteries. 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.

When adding an external battery pack, connect only a Tripp Lite recommended battery pack of the correct voltage and type. Do not connect or disconnect the external battery pack when the UPS is operating on battery power. Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/ battery/index.cfm to locate the specific battery for your UPS.
