Important Safety Instructions
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
protectors 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.
• The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be near the UPS and be easily accessible.
• To remove AC voltage from the UPS, pull the plug from the socket outlet.
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 connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect the surge
protector and UPS warranties.
• Connect the UPS to an outlet that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults, as part of the
building installation. The outlet protection for the UPS should be in series with the mains input.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit that has branch circuit over current protection with an ampere rating in accordance
with the National Electrical Code
IEC/EN 60934 standard and have a contact air gap of at least 3 mm. The recommended circuit breaker rating for building installation
is 240V/20A and must meet the rated short circuit capacity of at least 1 KA.
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 tripplite.com/
UPSbatteryrecycling for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges
