Important Safety Instructions

Tripp Lite’s Medical-Grade, Mobile Power Retrofit Kit includes two modules: a Power Supply Module and a Battery Module. When the two modules are connected (and attached to a remote user interface), they provide AC power for a variety of equipment on mobile medical carts. The following instructions refer to the kit as a single unit as well as its component parts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Medical-Grade, Mobile Power Retrofit Kits. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

Power Supply Module & Battery Module Location Warnings

• Your Power Supply Module incorporates fusing only in the ungrounded phase conductor. UL 60601-1 certified Power Supply Modules must not be used in countries other than the United States and Canada and must be used only in health care facilities on grounded systems where conditions of maintenance and supervision ensure that only qualified persons will service the electrical distribution system.

• Install your Power Supply Module and Battery Module indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight and conductive contaminants.

• Although the Power Supply Module is designed to support computer equipment, do not install it in direct contact with magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

• Your Power Supply Module and Battery Module are not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• 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 Power Supply Module and Battery Module for proper ventilation.

Power Supply Module Connection Warnings

• Do not operate the Power Supply Module without connecting it to a Battery Module and the Remote User Interface (RUI). The Power Supply Module will not operate (with or without utility power) until the Battery Module and RUI are connected.

• Do not allow objects to contact the Power Supply Module’s two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury or property damage could result.

• Connect your Power Supply Module directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the Power Supply Module into itself; this will damage the unit. The Power Supply Module features a hospital-grade plug. If the plug is connected to a wall outlet that is not hospital-grade, the unit may not be properly grounded.

• Do not modify the Power Supply Module’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the Power Supply Module’s ground connection.

• Do not use extension cords to connect the Power Supply Module to an AC outlet.

• If the Power Supply Module receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite Power Supply Modules for life support devices in which a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite Power Supply Module could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life-support device.

• The Power Supply Module is designed to accept connection of equipment mounted on the same mobile cart. Connecting equipment which is not mounted on the same cart as the Power Supply Module could pose a safety hazard.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your Power Supply Module. This may damage the Power Supply Module and will void the surge suppressor and Power Supply Module warranties.

Important Safety Instructions continued

Battery Module Warnings

• Do not allow objects to contact the Battery Module’s two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge

these terminals together. Serious personal injury or property damage could result.

• It is normal for sparks to occur when connecting the Battery Module to the Power Supply Module.

• Due to the possibility of dangerous arcing, do not unplug the Battery Module from the Power Supply

Module while the Power Supply Module is operating from battery power (whenever the cart is mobile and the Power Supply Module is not plugged into a live utility wall outlet).

• Your Battery Module does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your Battery Module for any

reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. The batteries in the Battery Module will eventually wear out and be unable to provide adequate backup times. Internal battery replacement must be performed by factory authorized service personnel. Because batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, service personnel should observe proper precautions. Unplug the Battery Module before performing battery replacement. Do not short or bridge battery terminals with any object. Use tools with insulated handles. Remove metal objects such as watches and rings before working with batteries. Do not open batteries. Replace batteries only with sealed lead-acid batteries of the same number, type, voltage and amp-hour capacity. Contact Tripp Lite for details.

• Tripp Lite offers additional replacement Battery Modules (model #: BP12V82). Contact Tripp Lite

for details.

• The Battery Module’s internal batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or

in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

• If connecting a replacement Battery Module to the Power Supply Module, the Battery Module must have

the same voltage as the Power Supply Module. Use only Tripp Lite Battery Modules (model #: BP12V82) with the Power Supply Module.

Mounting

WARNING!

Mount the Power Supply Module and Battery Module BEFORE connection.

The mounting brackets are only designed to support a Tripp Lite Power Supply Module and a single Battery Module. Do not mount or place any other devices on the mounting brackets. The mounting brackets will not support the additional weight and may fail.

Failure to follow these warnings may lead to product damage and/or risk of personal bodily harm.

The mounting bracket is only designed to fit specific mobile medical cart configurations (see diagrams). Tripp Lite offers additional mounting brackets for additional medical cart configurations. Contact Tripp Lite for details. The user must determine the fitness of the mounting hardware and procedures before mounting. If the hardware or procedures are not suitable for your application, contact Tripp Lite for assistance.

Mounting continued

Power Supply Module & Battery Module Mounting

Attach the Power Supply Module to the mounting bracket using the included hardware.* Make sure the Power Supply Module is oriented as shown in the diagram, with its outlets facing up.

Attach included hardware to the bottom of the mounting bracket.** Fully tighten the screws. (NOTE: These screws are designed to protrude downward even when fully tightened in order to engage the cart’s legs in step 1B.)

Using one or more assistants, lift the Power Supply Module/mounting bracket and place it around the cart's center pole as shown. (NOTE: Since the mounting bracket is designed to accommodate a wide variety of center pole sizes, attach the screw clamps as described in step 1C.) When lowering the mounting bracket into place, make sure that the screws on the bottom of the bracket engage the cart's legs in order to prevent the retrofit kit from rotating around the cart's center pole. To minimize rotation, make sure the side of the mounting bracket is perpendicular (90°) in relation to one of the cart's legs, as shown in the “Top View” diagram. Lift and readjust if needed.

The mounting bracket is designed to accommodate a wide variety of center pole sizes. To secure bracket to center pole, wrap the two included screw clamps around the cart's center pole and through the raised slots on the mounting bracket. Use a screwdriver to fully tighten clamps.

Using one or more assistants, lift the Battery Supply Module and attach it to the Power Supply Module/mounting bracket as shown using the mounting flanges and included hardware.***

* Four phillips-head screws (3/8 in. long, 10-32 size) and

four star washers (#10).

** Two phillips-head screws (1 in. long, 10-32 size).

Two fender washers (#10).

*** Four hex bolts (1-5/8 in. long, 5/16-18 size),

four hex nuts (5/16-18), four star washers (5/16) and four flat washers.
