10 Maintenance
10.1 UPS
UPS Cleaning
Regularly clean the UPS, especially the vents and openings, to ensure air flows freely into the UPS to avoid overheating. If
necessary, use compressed air to clean the vents and openings to prevent any object from blocking or covering these areas.
UPS Regular Inspection
Regularly check the UPS every six months and inspect:
1. Whether the UPS, LEDs, and alarm function are operating normally.
2. Whether battery voltage is normal. If battery voltage is too high or too low, refer to the table in section
11 Troubleshooting.
10.2 Batteries
The SU1500LCD1U and SU2000LCD1U use sealed lead-acid batteries. Typical battery life is 3 to 5 years. However, actual
battery life depends on temperature, usage and charging/discharging frequency. High-temperature environments and high
charging/discharging frequency will shorten the battery life. The UPS does not require maintenance by the user; however, the
batteries should be checked periodically. Follow the suggestions below to ensure a normal battery lifetime.
• Keep the usage temperature at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
• Idle batteries must be fully recharged every three months if the UPS is stored for an extended period of time. Fully charge
the batteries until the Battery Level Bar Graph
Note: Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If the UPS system's internal batteries need to be
replaced, please contact your Tripp Lite dealer. During battery replacement, the loads attached to the UPS will not be protected if input
power fails.
10.3 Fan
High temperatures shorten fan life. When the UPS is running, ensure each fan works normally and make sure air can move
freely around and through the UPS.
Note: Contact Tripp Lite Tech Support for more maintenance information. Do not perform maintenance if you are not qualified to do so.
