Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all

Tripp Lite Inverters.

Location Warnings

• The Inverter must be located in an enclosed compartment,

shielded from outside weather conditions.

• Although your Inverter is moisture resistant, it is NOT water-

proof. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short circuit

and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never

immerse the unit, and avoid any area where standing water might

accumulate. Mounting should be in the driest location available.

• Leave a minimum of 2" clearance at front and back of the

Inverter for proper ventilation. To avoid automatic Inverter

shutdown due to overtemperature, any compartment that

contains the Inverter must be properly ventilated with adequate

outside air flow. The heavier the load of connected equipment,

the more heat will be generated by the unit.

• Do not install the Inverter directly near magnetic storage media,

as this may result in data corruption.

• Do not install near flammable materials, fuel, chemicals or gasses

Battery Connection Warnings

• The Inverter will not operate (with or without utility power)

until batteries are connected.

• Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of

identical voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.

• Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries

if they are not kept well ventilated, your batteries should not be

installed in a "dead air" compartment. Ideally, any compartment

would have some ventilation to outside air.

• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always

observe proper polarity as batteries are connected.

• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do

not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal

injury or property damage could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Do not use a Tripp Lite Inverter in life support or healthcare

applications where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite

Inverter could cause failure of, or significantly alter the per-

formance of, a life support device or medical equipment.

• You may experience uneven performance results if you connect

a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the output

of the Inverter.

• Do not modify the Inverter's plug or receptacle in a way that

eliminates its ground connection. Do not use power adapters
