Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.
Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct
sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this
will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS's plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS's ground
connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean,
filtered, 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 use this equipment in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the
UPS and may affect the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
• 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. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS.

will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug in your
computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets
(see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug in your printer
and other non-essential devices here.
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.
* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS
if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/
Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA
ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of
amps by 120 to determine VA.
(Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery
Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test.
