Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty. UPS Location Warnings • Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them. • Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight. • For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0° C and 40° C (between 32° F and 104° F). • Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings. • When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LED/Control panel is at the top of the UPS, not at the bottom. • 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 • The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply. • Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS's plug in a way that would eliminate the UPS's connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's connection to ground. • Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty. • If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance. 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 the UPS. This might overload the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties. 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 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 to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS. • During hot-swap battery replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a blackout or other power interruptions. • Do not operate the UPS without batteries. • When adding external battery packs to select models with external battery pack connectors, connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of the correct voltage and type. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is operating on battery power. 2 201203014 93-2757.indd 2 3/15/2012 5:03:33 PM
