UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants,
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 appliances 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. This
might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason
except battery replacement. 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 USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD for recycling information. Do not dispose of the
batteries in a fire.
• Only connect Tripp Lite battery packs of the appropriate type and correct voltage to the
external battery connector.
• Do not connect or disconnect external batteries while the UPS is operating from battery.
• Do not attempt to connect external batteries to models without an external battery connector.
