The battery pack owner's manual also contains important instructions and warnings. Read the battery pack owner's manual before attempting to install the UPS system.

UPS Location Warnings

• The UPS is extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and installing.

• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.

• Install the UPS in a structurally sound area.

• Only operate the UPS at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its ventilation fans or openings.

• Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

• If you are installing the UPS in a stack configuration, always stack the power module above the battery module(s).

• 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

• The power supply for this unit must be split-phase rated in accordance with the equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

• Connect the UPS system only to a four-wire input power connection (L1, L2, N, G). This UPS requires an input neutral connection.

• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power source. Do not modify the input connection in a way that would eliminate the connection to ground.

• Do not use adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.

• Do not connect the UPS input to its output; this will damage the UPS and void the warranty.

• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

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

• The UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC power source.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of the UPS. This might overload the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Maintenance Warnings

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

Battery Warnings

• Do not operate the UPS without connecting the power module to an external battery module.

• Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs to the battery connectors. Connect battery packs of the correct voltage and type.

• The internal batteries in the battery pack are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA call 800-SAV-LEAD (800-728-5323) or 800-8-BATTERY (800-822-8837), or go to www.rbrc.com for complete recycling information. CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as this could cause the batteries to explode.

• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel observing proper precautions. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Determine if the batteries are inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.

• Fuses should be replaced only by factory-authorized personnel. Blown fuses should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.

• Service and repair should be performed only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off or placed into manual bypass mode (see Manual Bypass Procedure). Note: Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the

battery supply is connected.

• Do not connect or disconnect external battery pack(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery supply.

• During hot-swap battery pack replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the event of a blackout or other power interruption.

The battery must be at least partially charged for this operation to succeed. Press and hold the “ON” Button until you hear a beep to cold start the UPS. The LCD Display will show “ON BATTERY MODE”. Battery power will begin discharging. Some electronic equipment may draw more amps during startup; when cold starting, consider reducing the initial load on the UPS.

Note: The output voltage is set at 208/120V~ when the UPS is shipped from the factory. If you need to change the output voltage of the UPS, refer to “Output Voltage Selection” in the “Operation” section. You should select the correct output voltage before connecting equipment to the UPS.

Hardwiring Cautions

• Wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician.

• When making wiring connections, observe the regulations appropriate to your region [National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.] at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your installation wiring so you may cut off the UPS AC input during fires and other emergencies. Ensure that cables are fitted with cable sleeves and are secured by connector clamps. Tighten connections with a torque of not less than 24-28 inch-pounds (2.7-3.2 newton-meters). Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.

• Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause fire hazards. Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to make wiring connections. Ground conductors must be the same size and type as the power conductors used.

• Refer to National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for proper wire gauge and output protection circuit requirements.

Manual Bypass Procedure

WARNING! For qualified service personnel only. Failure to follow the bypass procedure completely will not adequately power down the UPS, resulting in the continued risk of death or injury from potential contact with high voltage. The UPS is extremely heavy. This procedure requires several people to perform.

The UPS system includes an independent, detachable PDU with a bypass switch. This switch allows qualified service personnel to remove the detachable PDU from the power module for maintenance, repair or replacement without disrupting power to connected loads. While this switch is set to “BYPASS”, connected equipment will receive unfiltered AC mains power, but the equipment will not receive battery power in the event of a blackout.

Note: An optional hardwire output detachable PDU is also available. Contact Tripp Lite for details.

UPS Power Module Removal

STEP 1. Disable PowerAlert Software and disconnect all communication cable(s) from the communication port(s) on the UPS

power module.

STEP 2. Turn the detachable PDU's Bypass Switch to “BYPASS”. STEP 3. If the UPS is powered, press the “OFF” button until you hear a beep and see a “STANDBY MODE” message shown in

the LCD Display .

STEP 4. Disconnect the battery power cable from the UPS power module.

The UPS power module is now safely powered down and it can be detached from the PDU to perform maintenance/replacement.

STEP 5. Remove the screws that hold the detachable PDU to the power module.

STEP 6. Using several assistants at each end, carefully pull the detachable PDU away from the power module. During this process,

ensure that each section is properly supported after they are separated.

• If the sections are detached in a rackmount application, ensure that each section remains adequately supported by the rackmount rails. Remove the rackmounting hardware from the front panel of the UPS; slide the power module forward, and remove. The PDU will remain supported on the rackmount rails. Care should be taken in this process because the PDU will not be secured to the rack with hardware of any kind.

• If the sections are detached in a tower application, ensure that the PDU is supported by the UPS's tower feet. Adjust the tower feet so they are as close together as possible.

Warning: Use extreme caution when handling the PDU. Do not allow the contacts to touch any surface.

To reattach the PDU, reverse the process listed above.
