Configuration
Set Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control—OPTIONAL
In order to save battery power, the unit's inverter automatically shuts off in the absence of any power demand from
connected equipment or appliances (the electrical load). When the Inverter/Charger detects a load, it automatically
LOAD
SENSE
turns its inverter function on. Users may choose the minimum load the Inverter/Charger will detect by adjusting the
Battery Charge Conserver Control (see diagram). Using a small tool, turn the control clockwise to lower the minimum
load that will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on for smaller loads. When the control is turned fully clockwise,
MAX OFF
the inverter will operate even when there is no load. Turn the control counterclockwise to increase the minimum load
that will be detected, causing the inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is reached.
NOTE: The factory setting for the control is fully clockwise. However, based on the threshold load to which you'd like the inverter to respond, you should
adjust the control counterclockwise to reduce its sensitivity until the inverter is active only when connected equipment or appliances are actually in use.
Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL
The unit features an 8-conductor telephone style jack on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model
APSRM4, sold separately). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compartment or cabinet out of sight, while
operated conveniently from a remote location. See instructions packed with the remote control module.
Connect Battery Temperature Sensing Cable—OPTIONAL (Contact Tripp Lite for optional temperature sensing cable accessory.)
The battery temperature sensing function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge float voltage level based on battery temperature.
Connect the sensor cable (the cable has an RJ style connector on one end and a sensor on the other) to the RJ style jack located on the
front panel of the Inverter/Charger labeled "RMT BATT TEMP ." With user-supplied electrical or duct tape, affix the sensor to the side of the
battery below the electrolyte level. Make sure that nothing, not even tape, comes between the sensor and the side of the battery. To
guard against false readings due to ambient temperature, place the sensor between batteries, if possible, and away from sources of
extreme heat or cold. If the sensor cable is not used, the Inverter/Charger will charge according to its default value (25º C).
Connect Automatic Generator Starter—OPTIONAL
Connect the RJ type modular jack on the front panel labeled "RMT GEN START" to separate generator ON/OFF switching mechanism with
user-supplied cable (see Pin Configuration Diagram). Once attached, the interface will allow the Inverter/Charger to automatically switch a
separate generator on when connected battery voltage levels are low and switch it off when battery voltage levels are high.
