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 your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• 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.
• 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 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
• 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 effective
ness 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 your UPS. This might damage the
UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason except battery
replacement. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• 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 require
ments or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit
www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement
Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.). Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to
locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
.• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA only call
1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling infor-
mation. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• If your UPS model is equipped with an external battery connector, only connect Tripp Lite battery packs
of the appropriate type and correct voltage. Do not connect or disconnect external batteries while the UPS
is operating from battery power.
• Do not attempt to connect external batteries to your UPS system if it does not include an external battery
connector.

Quick Installation

1
Plug the UPS into an outlet on
a dedicated circuit.*
NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC out-
let, the UPS will automatically charge its batter-
ies,** but will not supply power to its outlets until
it is turned ON (see Step 3 below).
* See Specifications for circuit amperage requirements.
Select models include an additional plug which can be
switched by a qualified electrician. See Specifications for
details. ** The BATTERY CHARGE LED will be the only
LED illuminated
2
Plug your equipment into the
UPS.
Note: Your UPS is designed to only support computer
equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA rat-
ings for all the equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's
Output Capacity (see Specifications). To find your equip-
ment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equip-
ment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120
to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you
are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS's outlets, see
"OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED description.
3 Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the "POWER" button for one sec-
ond. The alarm will beep once briefly after one sec-
ond has passed. Release the button.
