Service & Maintenance

Service: Before returning your UPS System for service, follow these steps: 1.) Review the installation and operation instructions to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the circuit breaker(s) are not tripped.* 2.) If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS System to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service technician will ask for the UPS System’s model number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone. 3.) If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. Securely pack the UPS System to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging.** Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS System incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the UPS System for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.

* This is a common cause of service inquiries which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual. ** If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you proper packaging.

Maintenance: Your UPS System requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable or replaceable parts, but should be kept dry at all times. Periodically check, clean and tighten all cable connections, as necessary, both at the unit and at the battery.

Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.

Location Warnings

• Install your UPS System (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust, direct sunlight and moisture.

• Although your UPS System is moisture resistant, it is NOT waterproof. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short circuit and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse the unit, and avoid any area where standing water might accumulate. Mounting should be in the driest location available.

• Leave a minimum of 2" clearance at front and back of the UPS System for proper ventilation. To avoid automatic UPS System shutdown due to overtemperature, any compartment that contains the UPS System must be properly ventilated with adequate outside air flow. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.

• Do not install near flammable materials, fuel or chemicals.

Battery Connection Warnings

• The UPS System will not operate (with or without utility power) until batteries are connected.

• Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of identical voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.

• Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries if they are not kept well ventilated, your batteries should not be installed (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a “dead air” compartment. Ideally, any compartment would have some ventilation to outside air.

• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as batteries are connected.

• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury or property damage could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Do not use a Tripp Lite UPS System in life support or healthcare applications where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure of, or significantly alter the performance of, a life support device or medical equipment.

• Corded models: Do not modify the UPS System’s plug or receptacle in a way that eliminates its ground connection. Do not use power adapters that will eliminate the plug’s ground connection.

• Connect your UPS System only to a properly grounded AC power outlet or hardwired source. Do not plug the unit into itself; this will damage the device and void your warranty.

• You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the output of the UPS System.

Operation Warnings

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

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within the UPS System as long as the battery supply and/or AC input are connected. During any service work, the battery supply and AC input connection (if any) should therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the UPS System is operating in either inverting or charging mode. Dangerous arcing may result. Operating Mode Switch should be in the OFF position.

“BATT VOLT/CHRG CURR” LEDs: these three lights will turn ON in several sequences to show two separate operational conditions depending on the position of the Operating Mode Switch. See Operation section for instructions on reading indicator lights.

DC Power Terminals: connect to your battery terminals. See Battery Connection section for instructions.

AC Receptacles (not on hardwire models): allow you to connect equipment that would normally be plugged into a utility outlet.

AC Input Cord (not on hardwire models): connects the UPS System to any source of utility- or generator-supplied AC power. See AC Input/Output Connection section for instructions.

Hardwire AC Input/Output Terminals (not on corded models): securely connect the UPS System to electrical system

input and equipment output. See AC Input/Output Connection section for instructions.

Resettable Circuit Breaker: protect your UPS System against damage due to overload. See Operation section for resetting instructions.

Main Ground Lug: properly grounds the UPS System to earth ground. See Configuration section for instructions.

Multi-Speed Cooling Fan: quiet, efficient fan prolongs equipment service life.

Hardwire AC Input/Output Cover Plate

Battery Temperature Sensing Connector (not on TMU612 models): prolongs battery life by adjusting charge based on bat-

tery temperature. Use with included cable. See Configuration section for details.

Low Battery Relay (not on TMU612 models): when battery reaches low voltage, this relay can signal traffic controller to go to flashing red mode or to send low battery alert to your control center. See Configuration section for details.

Optional Features for alternate uses of Tripp Lite Traffic MOVE-UPS

Tripp Lite’s TMU UPS models are versatile and can be used in mobile applications as well, such as running AC power tools in municipal maintenance trucks or police command vehicles. The features listed below are available for such alternate uses.

Remote Control Module Connector: designed only for mobile applications, this connector allows remote control from up to 50 feet away with optional module, sold separately. If required, contact Tripp Lite for further information.

Load Sense Dial (not on TMU612 models): designed only for mobile applications, this dial sets the low load level at which the UPS System’s inverter automatically shuts down. To guard against inadvertent inverter shutdown, Tripp Lite recommends you leave the dial in its factory default setting (fully clockwise). If required, contact Tripp Lite for further information.
