Important Safety Instructions - Tripp Lite OMNISMART OMNIVS500 Owner's Manual

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 UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust
or direct sunlight.
• Keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of UPS for proper ventilation.
• Do not mount 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
• Connect UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug 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 UPS to an AC outlet. Warranty will be voided if
anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect UPS to an outlet.
• If UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
• The main socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be installed near the UPS and
should be easily accessible.
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.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of UPS. This might
damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
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.
