1. Important Safety Warnings
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.
1.1 UPS Location Warnings
Install the UPS system indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Maintain the indoor temperature between 0° C and 40° 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, causing product damage not covered under warranty.
1.2 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 system’s plug and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS system’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.
• Power cables should not exceed 10 m.
1.3 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.
• The UPS system contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not
connected to an AC supply.

• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the 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. Disconnect and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. Battery
replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (Sealed
Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or visit http://www.tripplite.com/
support/recycling-program for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery
Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at http://www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific
replacement battery for your UPS.
• Connect only Tripp Lite battery modules to the UPS system’s external battery hardware terminals.
• Do not operate the UPS without batteries.
• Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same
number and type.
• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected. Service and repair should be
done only by trained personnel. During any service work, the UPS should be turned off or put into manual bypass and fuses
removed from all connected battery modules.
• Do not connect or disconnect the battery modules while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not
in bypass mode.
