Select Battery Type - REQUIRED
CAUTION: The Battery Type DIP Switch setting must match the type of batteries you connect, or your batteries may be degraded or
damaged over an extended period of time. See "Battery Selection" for more information.

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 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 flathead screwdriver, 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, 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.
Note: The operations below apply only to the APSX6048VRNET.
Connect External SNMP/Web Management Module—OPTIONAL
(Contact Tripp Lite for optional external SNMP/Web management module accessory.)
The SNMP/Web management module (Tripp Lite model SNMPWEBSOLOHV) allows the user to remotely monitor and control the
inverter/charger. Using the standard serial cable provided with the SNMPWEBSOLOHV, connect one end to the Accessory port on the
SNMPWEBSOLOHV labeled "UPS/APS" and the other end to the DB9 serial port located on the front panel of the Inverter/Charger.
Connect 12V DC Power Connector—OPTIONAL
The DC Power Connector enables the SNMPWEBSOLOHV to be powered directly from the Inverter/Charger, eliminating the need for an AC
outlet. Connect one end of the cable (included with the SNMPWEBSOLOHV) to the port on the SNMPWEBSOLOHV labeled "DC Power" and
connect the other end directly to the Inverter/Charger.
