2. Important Safety Instructions
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 UPS 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 protectors 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.
• The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be near the UPS and be easily accessible.
• To remove AC voltage from the UPS, pull the plug from the socket outlet.
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 the UPS. This might damage
the UPS and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.
• Connect the UPS to an outlet that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits
and earth faults, as part of the building installation. The outlet protection for the UPS should be
in series with the mains input.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 240V/120V 30A maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or local electrical code. The circuit breaker must meet the rated short circuit
capacity of at least 1KA.
