Important Safety Instructions
Statement of Intended Use
Tripp Lite Medical-Grade UPS Systems are intended to support and protect non-medical
computer equipment and medical devices that require leakage current reduction, surge
protection, voltage regulation, line noise filtering and battery backup during power outages and
generator testing, both inside and outside patient care areas. Tripp Lite’s Medical-Grade UPS
Systems come with hospital-grade plugs and receptacles that reduce leakage to below 100µA.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings will void

systems must not be used in countries other than the United States and Canada and must be used only in
