Service
Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps:
1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that the service
problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the UPS
System's circuit breaker(s) are not tripped. This is the most common cause of service
inquiries which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manu-
al.
2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite
at (773) 869-1233. A service technician will ask for the UPS's model number, serial number
and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone.
3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material
Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the
technician can arrange to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage
during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect,
special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an
authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to
Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid.
Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year
warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the UPS for service using an
insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.
