This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be
followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.
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 32° F and 104° F
(between 0° C and 40° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS to a three-wire, grounded AC power outlet. Do not remove or
modify the ground pin of the UPS's plug. Do not use two-prong adapters with
the UPS's plug.
• Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your
warranty.
• If you are connecting your UPS to 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 to the output of your UPS. This may damage
your UPS and will void both the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any
reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. Because
the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit
current, observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before
performing battery replacement. 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.
• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements
or, in the US only, call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recy-
cling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries unless your UPS is equipped with
External Battery Connectors.
• Observe proper polarity when connecting replacement batteries. Only connect
Negative (black) wires to Negative (black) terminals. Only connect Positive (red)
wires to Positive (red) terminals.
• If a qualified service representative performs “hot-swap” battery replacement
(when the UPS and connected equipment are turned ON) your UPS will not be
able to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout because the batteries
will be momentarily disconnected as they are exchanged.
