Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of all Tripp Lite SmartOnline Rackmount/Tower UPS Systems and their batteries.

UPS Location Warnings

• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.

• Install your UPS in a structurally sound area. Your UPS is extremely heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.

• Only operate your UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.

• Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

UPS Connection Warnings

• The power supply for this unit must be single-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems in 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.

• Connect your UPS power module’s and/or transformer module’s grounding terminal to a grounding electrode conductor.

• The UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

Maintenance Warnings

• Your UPS power module, transformer module and battery module(s) do not require routine maintenance. Do not open them for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Battery Warnings

• Do not operate your UPS without connecting it to an external battery module.

• Connect only Tripp Lite battery modules (of the correct type and voltage) to your UPS power module's external battery connector.

• 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 1-800SAV-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.

• Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number

and type.

• Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. Prior to any service work performed on hardwired power modules, they

should be turned off or manually bypassed via the transformer. Prior to any service work performed on power modules that plug directly into wall outlets, they should be turned off and unplugged. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.

• Do not connect or disconnect battery module(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the transformer module

is not in bypass mode (if your UPS system includes a transformer module with a bypass switch).

• During "hot-swap" battery module replacement your UPS will be unable to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout.

Mounting (Rack)

4-Post Mounting

Connect the two segments of each shelf using the included attached screws and wing nuts . Leave the screws slightly loose so that the shelves can be adjusted in the next step.

Adjust each shelf to fit your rack, then mount them in the lowest available space of your rack with the screws, nuts and washers provided . Note that the support ledges should face inward. Tighten the wingnuts that connect the shelf segments .

Attach mounting ears to the front mounting holes of your equipment using the screws provided . The ears should face forward.

Using an assistant, lift your equipment and slide it onto the mounting shelves. Attach your equipment to the rack by passing the screws, nuts and washers (user-provided) through its mounting ears and into the rack rails.

To mount your equipment in a 2-post rack, you must purchase a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTRMKIT, sold separately) for each module installed. See the Installation Kit's owner's manual for complete mounting instructions.

Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure.The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

WARNING!

All UPS System modules are extremely heavy! Use caution while lifting and mounting! User must properly

stabilize the module while lifting and mounting!

2-Post (Telecom) Mounting

Mounting (Tower)

All modules can be mounted in an upright, tower position when used with optional adjustable base stands, sold separately from Tripp Lite (model #: 2-9USTAND). When mounting modules on the adjustable base stands, make sure that the power module's control panel is towards the top. Also, if you are installing a transformer module, place it between the power module and its battery module.

WARNING!

All UPS System modules are extremely heavy! Use caution

while lifting and mounting! User must properly

stabilize the module while lifting and mounting!

Rotate the power module’s Control Panel to view it easier while the UPS is tower mounted. Insert a small screwdriver, or other tool, in the slots on either side of the Control Panel. Pop the panel out; rotate it; and pop the panel back into place.

Features

There are three separate UPS system modules available from Tripp Lite (a power module, a transformer module and a battery module) used in a variety of combinations. Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the features on each module before installing and operating your UPS system. The power module is the only module which includes front panel features.
