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
• Your UPS incorporates fusing only in the ungrounded phase conductor. UL2601-1
certified UPS systems (see Specifications) must not be used in countries other than the
United States and Canada, and must be used only in health care facilities on grounded
systems where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified
persons will service the electrical distribution system.
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• Your UPS is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with
air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• 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 appliances 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 or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This
may damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
