2. Important Safety Instructions
• Wiring and assembly should be performed by trained, qualified electricians only. Refer to the UPS unit's Owner's Manual for
wire sizing.

2.3 Battery Warnings

• The battery cabinet requires routine maintenance by qualified, knowledgeable service personnel familiar with its operation.
All required precautions should be taken prior to opening the cabinet for any reason. Keep unauthorized personnel away
from batteries.
• The battery cabinet contains valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. Do not attempt to add water to these
batteries or sample the electrolyte specific gravity.
• VRLA batteries can contain an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas. DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries. DO NOT cause
flames or sparks near batteries. Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries. DO NOT open or mutilate
batteries—released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic. DO NOT dispose of batteries in a fire—
they may explode.
• Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Battery connection or replacement
should be performed only by qualified service personnel observing proper precautions. Use tools with insulated handles.
Remove watches, rings or other metal objects. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals
with any object. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Replace batteries with equivalent batteries (same number and type) available from Tripp Lite.
• The batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not dispose of batteries except through
approved channels in accordance with all applicable local, state and national regulations.
• Do not connect or disconnect batteries when the UPS system is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not
in bypass mode. Disconnect the charging source prior to connection or disconnecting battery terminals.
• If the charging source remains off for an extended period of time, it should be turned on periodically to allow the batteries
to recharge. The charging source should be turned on and the batteries should be recharged at least one uninterrupted
24-hour period every 3 months. Failure to recharge the batteries periodically may cause permanent battery damage.
• Allow batteries to charge uninterrupted for 24 hours after installation.
