APPLICATIONS
1
Tripp Lite PR and TL (Trimline) series DC power supplies convert standard 120 Vblt AC
(vAC!), 60 Hz. power into regulated 13.8 Volt DC
(VDC) power; (12V DC output,
t
4
nominal). PR and TL
series models are ideal for powering a wide range of equipment
designed to run on 12V DC power, including CB, Ham and commercial/land-mobile
radios, car stereos, amplifiers, etc.
PR
and
TL
series models can also be used as general-
purpose test bench power sources.

BATTERY CHARGING NOTE
DO NOT use PR and TL series models rated at 12 amps and lower for battery
charging. If you connect a battery to any of these models with the unit NOT
I
plugged into a live 120 Volt AC outlet or the unit plugged in but tumed OFF,
+-
you may bum out the unit because of reverse current flow.
You MAY use PR and
TL
series models rated at 15 amps and higher for
battery charging. However, the battery must be separately fused with a fuse
not greater than the value of the unit's nameplate amperage rating. Other-
wise, the battery can cause current flow greater than the unit's amperage
rating back into the unit under certain circumstances and may bum out the
unit.
FEATURES
Solid State Integrated Circuit: provides excellent voltage regulation to within 4 . 5 V
DC; output voltage is maintained from 0
to 95% of full load.
Crowbar Overvoltage Protection: prevents overvoltage surges from damaging con-
nected equipment (15 amp and larger models).
i
High Quality Filtering: provides low-noise operation, excellent for sensitive commu-
nications receivers (0.1 to 0.15 volts maximum ripple).
I
Current-Limiting Electronic Foldback: automatically limits current and voltage
outputs in case of overload; time-controlled on 7 amp and larger models.
-
Heavy-Duty Power Transformer: provides complete line isolation.
.
I
Large Heat Sinks and Vented Cabinet: provides cool, continuous operatio; and long
component life.
Compact, Attractive Design: size and color harmonize with all modem commdnica-
tions equipment; narrow front profile conserves operating space.
I
Common Ground and Battery Minus Bonded: contributes to low noise operation.
