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 may affect
your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment, away from excess moisture,
temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• 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.
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.
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 dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do
not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before
performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. 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. 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
