Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install the UPS system indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.
• Install the UPS system in a structurally sound area. The UPS system is extremely heavy; use caution when moving or lifting the unit.
• Only operate the UPS system 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 (17° C and 29° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS system for proper ventilation.
• Do not install the UPS system near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
• Do not mount the 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.
UPS Connection Warnings
• The power supply for this unit must be single-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.
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.
• Connect the grounding terminal of the UPS power module and/or transformer module to a grounding electrode conductor.
• 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

• The UPS power module, transformer module and battery module do not require routine maintenance. Do not open them for any
reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Battery Warnings
• Do not operate the UPS system without connecting it to an external battery module.
• Connect only Tripp Lite battery modules to the UPS power module's external battery connector.
• 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. Unplug and
turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside
the UPS. 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 www.tripplite.com/
UPSbatteryrecycling 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 www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery for
your UPS.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.
• Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number
and type.
• Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS system, it should be turned off or
manually bypassed via the transformer module. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply
is connected.
• Do not connect or disconnect a battery module while the UPS system is operating from the battery supply or when the transformer
module is not in bypass mode (if the UPS system includes a transformer module).
• During "hot-swap" battery module and/or power module replacement the UPS system will be unable to provide battery backup in the
event of a blackout.
