Safety

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

UPS Location Warnings

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

Install your UPS in a structurally sound area. Your UPS is extremely heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.

Only operate your UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation: 12 in. (30 cm.) clearance at the rear; 4 in. (10 cm.) at sides and on top.

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

UPS Connection Warnings

The power supply for this unit must be single phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems in life support applications in which a mal- function or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life support device.

Connect your UPS's Grounding Terminal to a grounding electrode conductor.

The SU6K contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

Battery Warnings

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

Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short- circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries [(Sealed Lead-Acid) SU6K (twenty 12V/7AH batteries); SU10K (forty 12V/7AH batteries)]. Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or if in the USA call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs to your UPS’s external battery connectors.

Do not operate your UPS without batteries.

Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected. Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work, the UPS should be turned off or put into manual bypass (see pg. 12).

During “hot-swap” battery replacement (when the UPS is on manual bypass and connected equipment is turned ON) your UPS will be unable to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout.

Do not connect or disconnect the battery cabinets while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.
