Operation - Tripp Lite APSX3024SW Owner's Manual

Operation

Switch Modes
After configuring, mounting and connecting your Inverter/Charger, you are able to operate it by switching between the following operating
modes as appropriate to your situation:
AUTO/REMOTE: Switch to this mode when you need constant, uninterrupted AC power for connected appliances and
equipment. The Inverter/Charger will continue to supply AC power to connected equipment and to charge your connected
batteries while utility- or generator-supplied AC power is present. Since the inverter is ON (but in Standby) in this mode, it
will automatically switch to your battery system to supply AC power to connected equipment in the absence of a utility/
generator source or in over/under voltage situations. "AUTO/REMOTE" also enables an optional remote control module
Position =
(Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately) to function when connected to the unit.
CHARGE ONLY: Switch to this mode when you are not using connected appliances and equipment in order to conserve
battery power by disabling the inverter. The Inverter/Charger will continue to pass through AC power to connected
equipment and charge connected batteries while utility- or generator-supplied AC power is present. However, since the
inverter is OFF in this mode, it WILL NOT supply AC power to connected equipment in the absence of a utility/generator
source or in over/under voltage situations.
Position –
OFF: Switch to this mode to shut down the Inverter/Charger completely, preventing the inverter from drawing power from
the batteries, and preventing utility AC from passing through to connected equipment or charging the batteries. Use this
switch to automatically reset the unit if it shuts down due to overload or overheating. First remove the excessive load or
allow the unit to sufficiently cool (applicable to your situation). Switch to "OFF", then back to "AUTO/REMOTE" or
"CHARGE ONLY" as desired. If unit fails to reset, remove more load or allow unit to cool further and retry.
(Position ø)
NOTE: The optional remote control module (APSRM4) will only reset overloads.
Indicator Lights
Your Inverter/Charger (and Tripp Lite's optional APSRM4 Remote Control Module, sold separately) is equipped with a simple, intuitive,
user-friendly set of indicator lights. These easily-remembered "traffic light" signals will allow you, shortly after first use, to tell at a glance
the charge condition of your batteries, as well as ascertain operating details and fault conditions.
