Safety - Tripp Lite OmniPro500 Owner's Manual

Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be
followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS
Systems.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or
direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32° F and
104° F (between 0° C and 40° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventila-
tion.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS to a three-wire, grounded AC power outlet. Do not
remove or modify the ground pin of the UPS's plug. Do not use
two-prong adapters with the UPS's plug.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void
your warranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to 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.
• Do not connect surge suppressors to the output of your UPS. This may
damage your UPS and will void both the surge suppressor 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.
• Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Because the 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.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal
requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for
complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
