1. Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty. UPS Location Warnings • Install the UPS system 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 system for proper ventilation. • Do not mount the UPS system with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the UPS system's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty. UPS Connection Warnings • Connect the UPS system directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. The outlet must be installed near the UPS system and must be easily accessible for disconnection. • To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 30 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. • Do not modify the UPS system's plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS system's ground connection. Do not plug the UPS system into itself; this will damage the UPS system. • Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS system to an AC outlet. • If the UPS system 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 the UPS system. This might damage the UPS system and may affect the surge suppressor and UPS system warranties. Connecting a Tripp Lite power distribution unit (PDU) to the output of the UPS system is safe and will not void the warranty. Battery Warnings • Refer to Section 5: Battery Replacement for a complete list of battery warnings. 2 201102140 932835.indb 2 3/29/2011 4:50:07 PM
