Only operate your 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).

UPS Connection Warnings

The power supply for this unit must be single phase rated in accordance with the

equipment nameplate. It also must be suitably grounded.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Do not use Mpp Lite UPS Systems in 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.

Connect your UPS's Grounding Terminal to a grounding electrode conductor.
The SUGK contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be
live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

Battery Warnings

Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any
reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and bum from high short­circuit current, batteries should be changed only by trained service personnel
observing proper precautions. Replace the existing batteries with the same number
and type of new batteries [(Sealed Lead-Acid)
SUlOK (forty 12V/7AH batteries)]. Do not open the batteries. Do not short or
bridge the battery terminals with any object.

The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or

if in the USA call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling
information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs to your UPS's external battery connectors.
Do not operate your UPS without batteries.
Fuses should be replaced only by factory authorized personnel. Blown fuses
should be replaced only with fuses of the same number and type.
Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply
connected. Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During

any service work, the UPS should be tumed off or put into manual bypass (see pg.

12).
