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 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
• 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.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the
UPS and will void 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 in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit

Features
This UPS includes Tel/DSL and coaxial line surge suppression. These connections are optional. The UPS system will
function properly without these connections.
Tel/DSL Line Surge Suppression: This UPS can protect equipment against surges over a single phone
line. Using telephone cords, connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked with a "
equipment to the UPS jack marked with a "
also protected against surges on the AC line.
Coax Protection Jacks: gold coaxial "F" connectors protect connected equipment by stopping surges on a single DSS
satellite, cable or antenna line. Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to the coaxial jack labeled "IN."
Connect a coaxial cable from the coaxial jack labeled "OUT" directly to the device to be protected. The UPS system
must always be the first item connected in line from the coaxial wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a 3-
wire grounded AC outlet for coaxial line surge protection to work. Make sure coax cables connected to satellite dishes,
antennas, etc. are also grounded.
