Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions 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
• Use caution when lifting your UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS
systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near your 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.
• 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.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reason-
ably 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 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. 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 UPS without batteries.
• When adding external battery packs 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.
