Safety
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite PowerVerter Systems.
PowerVerter Location Warnings
• Install your PowerVerter indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct
sunlight.
• Do not attempt to mount your PowerVerter on a vertical surface.
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the PowerVerter for proper ventilation. The
more power connected equipment draws, the more heat will be generated by the
PowerVerter.
• Do not install the PowerVerter near magnetic data storage media, as this may result in
data corruption.
Battery Connection Warnings
• Your PowerVerter will not operate until batteries are connected.
• Multiple battery systems must be made up of batteries of the same voltage, age, amp
hour capacity and type.
• Keep battery location well ventilated. Explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near
batteries if they are not kept well ventilated.
• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as
batteries are connected.
• Tighten your battery terminals to create an efficient battery connection and prevent
excessive heating.
• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these
terminals together. Serious injury to property or person could result.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite PowerVerter Systems in life support applications where a
malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite PowerVerter System could cause failure or
significantly alter the performance of a life support device.
• Do not connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS to the output of the
PowerVerter.
Operation Warnings
• Your PowerVerter does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your PowerVerter
for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the batteries are connected.
During any service work, the batteries should therefore be disconnected.
• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the PowerVerter is operating. Dangerous
arcing may result.
