Tripp Lite SU3000XL Important Safety Instructions, Plug your UPS into an electrical outlet

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.

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

Quick Installation

Connection and Start-Up

1Plug your UPS into an electrical outlet.

Plug the UPS directly into a properly ground- ed, 3-wire, AC outlet that does not share a cir- cuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.). The outlet must have an amp rating equal to or greater than your UPS’s input breaker rating (see Specifications).

Note: Once your UPS is plugged in, the fan and all Indicator Lights will turn ON. The “LINE” and “LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs will illuminate and the UPS will beep to indicate normal operation. However, power is not supplied to your UPS’s AC outlets until the UPS is turned on.

2Plug your equipment into your UPS.

Your UPS is designed to support computer equipment only. You will overload your UPS if you connect devices with high power demands such as household appliances or laser printers to your UPS's outlets.

•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. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open your UPS for any reason.

•Since 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 operate your UPS without batteries.
