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 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 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 might damage the UPS and will
void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties. However, Tripp Lite has approved the connection of
extension cords and/or our HT3100PC Power Conditioning Center at the output of this UPS for
greater accessibility and to increase the number of battery backup supported outlets.* The use of
extension cords is approved for remote power needs, as long as the extension cord is sized properly
(by using properly gauged wire) and properly connected (by having a 3-prong grounded plug on
one end and a 3-prong receptacle on the other end of this cord). The UPS itself must be directly
connected to a properly grounded wall outlet.
* The total number of components connected should not exceed the UPS capacity. This will overload your UPS system.
Battery Warnings
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper
precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or
bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS.
Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number
and type of batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for
disposal requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-
8837) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. 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.
• 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.
