Reliable Emergency Backup Power
Congratulations! You've purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed as an alternative energy source during utility
power failures. Tripp Lite APS Inverter/Chargers keep your equipment constantly up and productive through all utility power problems (blackouts,
brownouts and high voltages) by inverting DC power from user-supplied batteries into AC power. Built-in surge suppression provides an additional
level of equipment protection. When utility power is present, APS Inverter/Chargers automatically pass through power to your equipment while
simultaneously recharging your connected battery bank. APS Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators during emergency
backup applications—with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with! You get AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it.

Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers. Location Warnings • Install your Inverter/Charger (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust, direct sunlight and moisture. -

AC power. It also enables the Inverter/Charger to be remotely monitored and controlled with an optional remote module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately or included with select models). The “CHARGE ONLY” setting allows your batteries to return to full charge faster by turning the inverter off which halts battery discharging. -

“AUTO/REMOTE” or “CHARGE ONLY” as desired. If unit fails to reset, remove more load or allow unit to cool further and retry. Use an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately or included with select models) to reset unit due to overload only. - Page 6 Configuration Set Configuration DIP Switches Using a small tool, set the Configuration DIP Switches (located on the front panel of your unit, see diagram) to optimize Inverter/Charger operation depending on your application. 612, 750 and 1250 models have one set of four DIP Switches (Group A). All other models include an additional set of four DIP switches (Group B) to configure additional operational functions.
- Page 7 Connect Remote Control—Optional (All models) All models feature an 8-conductor telephone style receptacle on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately or included with select models). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compart- ment or cabinet out of sight, while operated conveniently from a remote location.

Page 8: 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 plus the output of an alternator when one is used. - Page 9 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 10: Battery Connection
Inverter/Charger is connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries which are isolated from the drive system to prevent possible draining of the main battery. Contact Tripp Lite technical support for assistance with additional parallel, series or series/parallel connections. Optional connection... - Page 11 “AUTO” and “CHRG ONLY” (Charge Only) switch settings are identical to the front panel Operating Mode Switch settings. • 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.
