2. Important Safety Instructions

Battery Warnings

• The battery cabinet does not require routine maintenance by the user. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Only qualified,
knowledgeable service personnel familiar with all required precautions should open the access panels for any reason. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
• The battery cabinet contains valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. Do not attempt to add water to these batteries or
sample the electrolyte specific gravity.
• VRLA batteries can contain an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas. DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries. DO NOT cause flames or sparks
near batteries. Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries. DO NOT open or mutilate batteries—released electrolyte is
harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic. DO NOT dispose of batteries in a fire—they may explode.
• Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Battery connection or replacement should be
performed only by qualified service personnel observing proper precautions. Use tools with insulated handles. Remove watches, rings or
other metal objects. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Do not lay tools or metal
parts on top of batteries.
• Replace batteries with equivalent batteries (same number and type) available from Tripp Lite.
• The batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not dispose of batteries except through approved channels
in accordance with all applicable local, state and national regulations.
• Do not connect or disconnect batteries when the UPS system is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.
Disconnect the charging source prior to connection or disconnecting battery terminals.
• If the charging source remains off for an extended period of time, it should be turned on periodically to allow the batteries to recharge. The
charging source should be turned on and the batteries should be recharged at least one uninterrupted 24-hour period every 3 months.
Failure to recharge the batteries periodically may cause permanent battery damage.
• Allow batteries to charge uninterrupted for 24 hours after installation.
• Do not attempt to service the integrated battery charger (included with "C" models only). Contact Tripp Lite if service is
required.

3. Battery Cabinet Installation

Read Section 2 – Important Safety Instructions Before Installation

3.1 Preparation

• At your site, prepare to off-load the battery cabinet from the delivery truck and transport it to the final installation location. Consider both
the packaged weight and dimensions.
• Make sure the floor can support the load of the specific battery cabinet being installed. The battery cabinet must be installed in a
structurally sound area with a level floor that is able to bear the weight of the battery cabinet and other equipment that will be installed
nearby.
• Draw a wiring schematic representing the cables connected between the battery cabinet's output terminal blocks and any external
disconnect device, junction box and/or load/rectifier.
• If you plan to store the battery cabinet for an extended period before or after installation, follow the instructions in Section 8. Storage
and Service.
