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 will void 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 between 32º F and 104º F
(0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• 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. Your warranty will be
voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS
to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not open your UPS for any reason.
• Since batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current,
observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the
same number and type of new batteries (sealed lead-acid). Do not open the batteries. Do
not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. 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.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in
the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or
visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not operate your UPS without batteries.

Quick Installation

Connection and Start-Up
Plug your UPS into an electrical
1
outlet.
Plug the UPS directly into a properly ground-
ed, 3-wire, AC outlet that does not share a cir-
cuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air
conditioner, refrigerator, etc.). The outlet must
have an amp rating equal to or greater than
your UPS's input breaker rating (see
Specifications).
Note: Once your UPS is plugged in, the fan and all
Indicator Lights will turn ON. The "LINE" and
"LOAD ACTIVE METER" LEDs will illuminate
and the UPS will beep to indicate normal operation.
However, power is not supplied to your UPS's AC
outlets until the UPS is turned on.
2 Plug your equipment into your UPS.
Your UPS is designed to support computer
equipment only. You will overload your UPS
if you connect devices with high power
demands such as household appliances or
laser printers to your UPS's outlets.
Turn your UPS ON:
3
• Press the "ON/TEST" Switch
• Hold it for several seconds until you
hear a beep
• Release it
The "ON LINE" LED will now light, and your
UPS will begin providing power to its AC
outlets.
Note: If this is the first time you have plugged in
your UPS, or if your UPS has been in storage for a
prolonged period, it will need to charge its batteries
for 2-4 hours before it can support connected equip-
ment in the event of a power failure.
