  • Page 7: Battery Selection

    Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter/Charger with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to power your application. Even though Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers are highly-efficient at DC-to-AC inversion, their rated output capacities are limited by the total amp-hour capacity of connected batteries.
  • Page 8: Mounting

    Inverter/Charger and connected systems. Tripp Lite manufactures a variety of different Inverter/Chargers with a variety of different mounting options for use in vehicular or non-vehicular applications. Tripp Lite recommends permanent mounting of your Inverter/Charger in any of the configurations illustrated below. User must supply mounting hardware and is responsible for determining if the hardware and mounting surface are suitable to support the weight of the Inverter/Charger.
  • Page 9: Battery Connection

    Battery Connection Connect your Inverter/Charger to your batteries using the following procedures: • Connect DC Wiring: Though your Inverter/Charger is a high-efficiency con- verter of electricity, rated output capacity is limited by the length and gauge cabling running Front-Mounted DC from the battery to Connectors the unit.
  • Page 10: Ac Input/Output Connection

    NEUTRAL Note: Ground Bond Connection Supplied • OverPower Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to 150% of their name- plate rated wattage for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve power to reliably support tools and equipment longer. * Actual duration depends on battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.
  • Page 11: Service/Maintenance/Troubleshooting

    Also, check that the circuit breaker(s) are not tripped.* 2.) If the problem continues, do not contact or return the Inverter/Charger to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233.

    • Efficiency: 88% to 94% depending on load and temperature Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers include a Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control which saves battery power by allowing users to set the minimum load level at which the unit’s inverter turns on. Users can significantly reduce the No Load DC Input Current (approximately 1 A to 3 A for all models) to a very low amp level with the use of this control.
