Service

Before returning your Inverter for service, follow these steps: 1.) Review the installation and operation instructions to ensure that the

service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the circuit breaker(s) are not tripped.* 2.) If the

problem continues, do not contact or return the Inverter to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service technician will

ask for the Inverter's model number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone. 3.) If the

problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service.

Securely pack the Inverter to avoid damage during shipping. If possible, use the original packing material that came with the unit. Do not

use Styrofoam beads for packaging.** Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the Inverter incurred during

shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. Inverters shipped to Tripp Lite or an

authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the

Inverter is within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the Inverter for service using an insured carrier to the

address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.

* This is a common cause of service inquiries which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual. ** If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you proper packaging.

Maintenance

Your Inverter requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable or replaceable parts, but should be kept dry at all times. Periodically

check, clean and tighten all cable connections, as necessary, both at the unit and at the battery.
