Overview EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION NOTE If external battery packs are to be used with this UPS, install them following the mounting/installation documentation included with each battery pack. External battery pack installation requires the UPS be configured one of two ways: 1. Via the UPS front panel LCD interface (limited to two external BP configurations) 2. Via Tripp Lite's EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION software. Downloadable from http://www.tripplite.com/bpconfig (for all external runtime configurations) This UPS is factory programmed with discharge curves and charging profiles for two basic external battery pack configurations accessible using the UPS front panel LCD interface. Additional battery pack options using larger or multiple external battery packs are also supported, but require configuration using Tripp Lite's EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION software and a serial port connection to the UPS. See page 24 to determine which method applies to your external battery pack configuration. 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 may affect 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 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 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. • 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 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 may affect the surge suppressor 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. 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 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. 3 13-03-138 93-3168-EN.indd 3 3/28/2013 1:04:30 PM
