Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this
product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty.
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 0º C and 40º C.
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• Only set the UPS upright on a sturdy flat surface. Do not block fans or ventilation holes, as this will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling
and cause product damage not covered under warranty.
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 plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
• The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and located near the UPS.
Equipment Connection Warnings
Short Circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by the building installation.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent protection. The plug on the power
supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be sure the socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and
is made easily accessible.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life
support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
• Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect the surge
protector and UPS warranties.
• Connect the UPS to an outlet that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults as part of the building
installation.
Battery Warnings
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper precautions. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside the UPS. Do not open the UPS except to perform battery replacement. Do not open or mutilate batteries. Do not
short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the batteries may explode. Released electrolyte is
harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated
handles. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorised 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 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.

CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Disconnect charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the battery.
• Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce likelihood of shock.
• Remove the connection from ground if any part of the battery is determined to be grounded.
