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 will void your 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 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).

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

• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will

seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing 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’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s ground connection.

• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS to an outlet.

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

Equipment Connection Warnings

• 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 use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and will void 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 userserviceable parts inside.

• 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 1-800-SAV-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.

• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.

Quick Installation

1. Plug the UPS into an outlet that doesn’t share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*

* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.

2. Turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second to turn the UPS on. The UPS alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. NOTE: The UPS will not turn on, even if connected to live utility power, until it is turned on using the ON/OFF/TEST button.

3. Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see Basic Operation section) will provide battery backup and surge protection; connect your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets (see Basic Operation section) will provide surge protection only; connect your printer and other non-essential devices here.

* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a selftest (see “ON/OFF/TEST” Button description).
