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 0° C and
40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not
modify the UPS's plug. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's
ground line.
• 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, qualified service personnel should 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. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries.
