Important Safety Warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of all Tripp Lite transformers.
Location Warnings
• Install your transformer indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.
• Install your transformer in a structurally sound area. Your transformer is heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.
• Only operate your transformer 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 transformer for proper ventilation.
• Do not install the transformer near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
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 signicantly 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.
• When connecting to a UPS, 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 supply.
Maintenance Warnings
• Your transformer does not require routine maintenance. Do not open for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Horizontal Rack Mounting
Note: Use the following mounting instructions with standard
rack enclosures and 4-post open frame racks only. Due to the
weight of the transformer, it must only be placed/mounted in
the lower portion of the rack.
1
It is important to note that in order to accommodate paralleling
applications, equipment must be mounted in order of weight,
starting at the bottom with the heaviest item rst, in the
following order (see diagram): Transformer, Battery Modules,
UPS Power Modules. Note: The power modules, battery
modules and transformer must be installed on separate and
individual sets of rack shelves, which are included with each
module.
2
The included plastic pegs
A
will temporarily support the
empty rackmount shelves B while you install the permanent
mounting hardware. Insert a peg near the center of the front
and rear bracket of each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket
has 6 holes.) The pegs will snap into place.
After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth
of your rack rails. The pegs will t through the square holes
in the rack rails to support the shelves. Refer to the rack unit
labels to conrm that the shelves are level in all directions.
Note: The support ledge of each shelf must face inward.
3
Secure the shelves
B
to the mounting rails permanently using
the included screws and cup washers C as shown.
• For 2U equipment mounting, place 4 screws total at the
front and 4 screws total at the back.
• For 3U equipment mounting, place 6 screws total at the
front and 4 screws total at the back.
• For 4U equipment mounting, place 6 screws total at the
front and 6 screws total at the back.
Tighten all screws before proceeding.
Warning: Do not attempt to install your equipment until
you have inserted and tightened the required screws.
The plastic pegs will not support the weight of your
equipment.

passing the screws, nuts and washers (user-provided)
through its mounting ears and into the rack rails.

Connection
Hardwiring Cautions
• Wiring must be done by a qualied electrician.
• When making wiring connections, observe the cable connection regulations and overcurrent protection requirements appropriate to your
area [such as U.S. National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)] at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your
installation wiring so you may cut off the UPS’s AC input during res and other emergencies. Ensure that cables are tted 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 Nm).
• Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.
• Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause re hazards. Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to
make wiring connections. Ground conductors are recommended to be the same size and type as the power conductors used.
