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 may affect 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.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner
will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered
under warranty.
• The UPS system must be returned to Tripp Lite for battery replacement.
Visit www.tripplite.com/support and click the product returns link to request a Returned Material
Authorization (RMA) number (an RMA number is required for service). Once the product request
information is completed, an assigned RMA number and shipping instructions will be sent to your
email account. See Storage and Service for more information.
UPS Connection Warnings
• CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit
overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. Short circuit backup protection overcurrent protection
is provided by the building installation. Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the
installation in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• 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.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean,
filtered, computer-grade output.
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 your UPS. This might damage
the UPS and may affect the surge protector 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. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the UPS. At the end of the UPS system's life, follow best practice by discharging the battery
prior to disposal. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not connect or disconnect
battery packs when the UPS system is operating on battery power.
