Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings

  • Use caution when lifting the UPS system. Because of the considerable weight of all rack-mount UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
  • Install the UPS system indoors in an area free from excess moisture, heat, dust, conductive contaminants, and direct sunlight.
  • The UPS system operating temperature is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). For optimum battery performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68° and 77°F (20° and 25°C).
  • Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS system for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.
  • When mounting the UPS system in tower orientation, make sure the LCD screen panel is at the top of the UPS system, not at the bottom.
  • 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.
  • The UPS system must be returned to Tripp Lite for battery replacement. Visit www.tripplite.com/support and click the product returns link to request a Returned Material Authorization
    (RMA) number (an RMA number is required for servce). Once the product request information is completed, an assigned RMA number and shipping instructions will be sent to your email account. See Storage and Service for more information.

UPS Connection Warnings

  • CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.  Short circuit backup protection overcurrent protection is provided by the building installation. Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the installation in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
  • The UPS system contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS system is not connected to an AC supply.
  • Connect the UPS system to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS system’s plug in a way that would eliminate its connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS system’s connection to  ground.
  • Do not plug the UPS system into itself. This will damage the UPS system and void the warranty.
  • If connecting the UPS system to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output.

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 connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS system. This might damage the UPS system and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.

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. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. At the end of the UPS system’s life, follow best practice by discharging the battery prior to disposal. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS system is operating on battery power.

  • Do not operate the UPS system without batteries.

Quick Installation

Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup. However, maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.

  1. Plug the UPS system into an outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load, such as an air conditioner or refrigerator.

  2. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second to power on the UPS system. The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed.
    Note: the UPS system will only power on, even if connected to live utility power, using the ON/OFF/TEST button.

  3. Plug your equipment into the UPS system’s outlets. All outlets provide surge protection and noise filtering. Essential equipment that also requires battery support during power failures, such as a computer and monitor, should be  plugged into the battery backup outlets, which are marked with a battery symbol.
    Note: your UPS system is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS system if the total VA rating for all equipment connected to the battery backup outlets exceeds the UPS system’s output capacity.  Look at the equipment’s nameplates to find their VA ratings. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA (for example, 1 amp x 120 = 120VA). If you are unsure you have overloaded the  battery backup outlets, use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a self-test.
