Important Safety Instructions
2
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between between 32º F and 104º F
(0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS
into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be
voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS
to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life-support applications in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS.
Battery Warnings
• Except for battery replacement, your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not
open your UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Because batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current,
qualified service personnel should observe proper precautions: Use tools with insulated
handles and replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries
(Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals
with any object. 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/support/battery/index.cfm
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.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local
codes for disposal requirements.
• 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.
