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. 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 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C). •  Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. • Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption. • 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. •  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 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 your UPS. This might overload the UPS and may affect 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 requirements or visit www.tripplite.com/UPSbatteryrecycling 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. •  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. 2 201112099 931874.indb 2 12/28/2011 4:44:05 PM
