Important Safety Warnings - Tripp-Lite SUPDMB20K El Manual Del Propietario

Introduction
Congratulations! Your SUPDMB-Series Parallel PDU allows you to configure two 8 or 10kVA UPS systems for fault-tolerant operation
or increased output capacity. Your UPS will auto-configure for redundancy or increased capacity based on the attached equipment's
load. In order to configure your UPS for redundancy, you will need to obtain two separate 8/10kVA UPS systems and a SUPDMB20K,
SUPDMB20KHW, SUPDMB20KIEC, or SUPDMB20K8 Parallel PDU module. Contact Tripp Lite for additional configuration help.

When two UPS systems are loaded to
a maximum of 50%, your configuration
will receive full redundancy—fault-
tolerance with full support for hot-
swappable UPS replacement in the
case of sudden UPS failure.
To ensure fault-tolerance, load the two parallel UPS systems to a
maximum of 50% of the combined rating for both UPS systems. For
example, if you have two 10kVA UPS systems, you will have fault-
tolerant operation if the load level remains at 10kVA or lower.

Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of all Tripp Lite Parallel PDUs.
Location Warnings
• Install your PDU indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.
• Install your PDU in a structurally sound area. Your PDU is heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.
• Only operate your PDU at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor
temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the PDU for proper ventilation.
• Do not install the PDU near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
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.
• When connecting to a UPS, the UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live when the UPS is not
connected to an AC supply.
Maintenance Warnings
• Your PDU does not require routine maintenance. Do not open for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Battery Warnings
• Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off or manually
bypassed via the PDU. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.
• Do not connect or disconnect battery module(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the detachable PDU is not in
bypass mode.
• During "hot-swap" battery module replacement your UPS will be unable to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout.

When two UPS systems are loaded to a maximum of 100%, your
configuration will receive the full capacity of both UPS systems
combined to power larger loads. This configuration does NOT
carry redundancy or fault-tolerance options. Hot-swappable UPS
replacement is possible if you put the PDU in bypass mode (See
"Manual Bypass Operation" Section).
Your can use this configuration to grow your UPS power capacity to
16kVA (when two 8kVA UPS systems are used) or 20kVA (when two
10kVA UPS systems are used). In this configuration, fault-tolerance
is NOT available.
