1. Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

All sections of this manual contain instructions and warnings that must be followed during the installation and operation of
the battery cabinet described in this manual. Read ALL instructions thoroughly before attempting to move, install or connect
your battery cabinet. Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty and cause serious property damage and/or
personal injury.

DANGER! LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD!

All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the warnings in this manual and all
applicable electrical and safety codes. Incorrect wiring may cause serious personal injury and property damage.

Installation and Location Warnings

• Install the battery cabinet in a controlled indoor environment, away from moisture, temperature extremes, flammable liquids and gasses,
conductive contaminants, dust and direct sunlight.

• Install the battery cabinet in a level, structurally sound location.

• The battery cabinet is very heavy; use extreme caution when moving or lifting the unit.

• Operate the battery cabinet at indoor temperatures between 0° C and 40° C (32° F and 104° F) and 30-90% non-condensing humidity
only. For optimum battery performance, maintain an ambient indoor temperature of 25° C (77° F).

• Leave adequate space around the front and rear of the battery cabinet for proper ventilation. Do not block, cover or insert objects into the
external ventilation openings of the battery cabinet.

• Do not place any object on the battery cabinet, especially containers of liquid.

• Do not attempt to stack the battery cabinet. Attempting to stack the battery cabinet may cause permanent damage and create a potential
for serious personal injury.

• Do not attempt to unpack or move the battery cabinet without assistance. Use appropriate handling equipment rated to bear the weight
and bulk of the battery cabinet, such as freight elevators, pallet jacks and forklifts. (Fully extend forks under load. Spread forks to
maximum possible width under load. Lift cabinet from bottom only. Wear safety shoes.)

• For emergency use, install a fire extinguisher rated for energized electrical equipment fires (Class C rating or exact equivalent, with a non­conductive extinguishing agent) near the battery cabinet.

Connection Warnings

• The battery cabinet contains hazardous high voltages that have the potential to cause personal injury or death from electric shock.

• The battery cabinet has its own energy source. The output terminals may be live even when the battery cabinet is not connected to a UPS
system.

• The battery cabinet must be suitably grounded according to all applicable electrical wiring regulations.

• 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.

• De-energize all input and output power sources before installing cables or making electrical connections.

• Use flexible cable of sufficient length to permit battery cabinet servicing.

• Use ferrule caps to cover termination cables and prevent frayed ends from shorting on terminal blocks. Use cabling rated VW-1, FT-1 or
better. Use cable sleeves and connector clamps.

• Confirm that all cables are marked correctly according to their purpose, polarity and diameter.

• Observe proper polarity by connecting negative to negative and positive to positive (and center string to center string, where applicable).
Failure to observe proper polarity may damage the batteries and create a serious risk of personal injury and property damage.

• Wiring should be performed by trained, qualified electricians only. Refer to the UPS unit’s Owner’s Manual for wire sizing.

Battery Warnings

• The battery cabinet does not require routine maintenance by the user. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Only qualified,
knowledgeable service personnel familiar with all required precautions should open the access panels for any reason. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.

• The battery cabinet contains valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. Do not attempt to add water to these batteries or
sample the electrolyte specific gravity.

• Valve-regulated recombinant lead-acid (VRLA) batteries can contain an explosive mixture of hydrogen gas. DO NOT SMOKE when near
batteries. DO NOT cause flames or sparks near batteries. Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries. DO NOT open or
mutilate batteries—released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic. DO NOT dispose of batteries in a fire—they may
explode.

1. Important Safety Warnings

• Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Battery connection or replacement should be
performed only by qualified service personnel, observing proper precautions. Use tools with insulated handles. Remove watches,
rings or other metal objects. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Do not lay tools
or metal parts on top of batteries. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the battery cabinet. 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 visit http://www.tripplite.com/support/recycling-program
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 http://www.tripplite.com/products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

• Replace batteries with equivalent batteries (same number and type) available from Tripp Lite.

• Fuse replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Replace with only the same type and rating: 30A, 600V.

• The batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not dispose of batteries except through approved channels
in accordance with all applicable local, state and national regulations.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries when the UPS system is operating from the battery supply or when the unit is not in bypass mode.
Disconnect the charging source prior to connection or disconnecting battery terminals.

• If the charging source remains off for an extended period of time, it should be turned on periodically to allow the batteries to recharge. The
charging source should be turned on and the batteries should be recharged at least one uninterrupted 24-hour period every 3 months.
Failure to recharge the batteries periodically may cause permanent battery damage.

• Allow batteries to charge uninterrupted for 24 hours after installation.
