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 install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
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 is 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
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for 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.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS.
Battery Warnings
• 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
(1-800-8-228-8379) 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 to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
• If your UPS model is equipped with an external battery connector, only connect Tripp Lite
battery packs of the appropriate type and correct voltage. Do not connect or disconnect
external batteries while the UPS is operating from battery.
