Safety
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be
followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS
Systems.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or
direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 0º C and
40º C (between 32º F and 104º F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not
modify the UPS's plug. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's
ground line.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void
your warranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the
generator must provide, filtered computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support appliances in which
a malfunction of 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 to the output of your UPS. This may
damage your UPS and will void both 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.
• Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from
high short-circuit current, observe proper precautions. Unplug and
turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with
insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the same
number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the
batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal
requirements. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries.
