Important Safety Instructions
2
UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, 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 the 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 plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the ground
connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. The warranty will be
void if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect the 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
• 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 the UPS. This may
damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the UPS for any reason. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burns 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. Use tools with insulated
handles. 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 in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or
1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information.
Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).
