Congratulations! You've purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed for recreational vehicle applications. Tripp Lite
RV Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators—with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with! You get AC electricity anywhere
and anytime you need it: rolling down the highway, dry camping in majestic back country or parked overnight at a money-saving non-electric
site. RV Inverter/Chargers provide your equipment with utility- or generator-supplied AC electricity (filtered through premium ISOBAR
protection) whenever available. In addition, your RV Inverter/Charger automatically powers your RV's 12V system and recharges your connected
battery bank—doing what traditional RV converter/chargers do. Whenever power blackouts, brownouts or high voltages occur, your RV
Inverter/Charger immediately and automatically switches over to inverting battery output to power connected AC equipment.

  • Page 1 Quiet Mobile Power Congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed for recreational vehicle applications. Tripp Lite RV Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators—with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with! You get AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it: rolling down the highway, dry camping in majestic back country or parked overnight at a money-saving non-electric site.
  • Page 2: Safety

    • Tripp Lite recommends wiring hardwired AC output to a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protector. • The main grounding lug should be connected to the vehicle chassis with a minimum #8 AWG wire.

  • 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 and the support of your vehicle’s alternator if the engine is kept running.
  • Page 8: Mounting

    NOTE! For Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers providing 1000 watts or less of continuous AC power, a full-size battery will normally allow sufficient power for many applications before recharging is necessary. For mobile applications, if a single battery is continuously fed by an alternator at high idle or faster, then recharging from utility or generator power may not be necessary. For Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers over 1000 watts used in mobile applications, Tripp Lite recommends you use at least two batteries, if possible fed by a heavy-duty alternator anytime the vehicle is running.
