Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions 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
• Use caution when lifting UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all Rack-mount UPS
systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near your UPS should be between 0° C
and 40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct
its vents or fan openings.
•
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
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit
overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. Short circuit backup protection
overcurrent protection is provided by the building installation. Be sure to use the proper
overcurrent protection for the installation in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• 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.
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS plug
in a way that would eliminate the UPS's connection to ground. Do not use adapters that
eliminate the UPS connection to ground.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting your UPS to a
generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
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 connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might
overload the UPS and will void the surge protector and UPS warranties.
