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 the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust and 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 the 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 the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.

• Do not modify the UPS input connector, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the ground connection of the UPS.

• 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, ltered, 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 signicantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• Do not connect surge suppressors to the output of the UPS. This might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open the UPS for any reason.

• 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 re. 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 (1800-822-8837) 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 specic replacement battery for your UPS.

• Do not operate the UPS without batteries. Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.

Installation

Input Connection

Connect the UPS to a grounded 120V AC

outlet. Ensure that the outlet does not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load (e.g. air conditioner or refrigerator).

Power On

Press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button A

for 1 second (the UPS will beep) to turn the UPS system on. The green ON/OFF light will illuminate when the UPS system is on.

Note: The UPS system will not begin to charge its battery

until it has been turned on. Connected equipment will not be supported adequately during a power failure until the internal battery has charged for 4-6 hours. It will take up to 8 hours for the battery to charge completely.

Output Connections

Plug your equipment into the UPS outlets.

Note: Laser printers, large household appliances or other

equipment with very high power requirements should not be connected to the UPS. The UPS will become overloaded if the combined power requirement for all connected equipment exceeds the total output capacity of the UPS (550VA). The VA rating for each piece of equipment can be found by consulting the equipment’s documentation and/or nameplate. If amps are shown, multiply by 120V to determine VA (Volts x Amps = VA).
