Reliable Emergency Backup Power
Congratulations! You've purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed as an alternative energy source during utility
power failures. Tripp Lite APS Inverter/Chargers keep your equipment up and productive through all utility power problems (blackouts,
brownouts and overvoltages) by inverting DC power from user-supplied batteries into AC power. When utility power is present, APS
Inverter/Chargers automatically pass through power to your equipment while simultaneously recharging your connected battery bank. Built-in
surge suppression provides an additional level of equipment protection. APS Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators for
emergency backup applications. You get AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it—with no fumes, fuel or noise!

  • Page 3: Feature Identification

    AC power. It also enables the Inverter/Charger to be remotely monitored and controlled with an optional remote module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately). The “CHARGE ONLY” setting allows your batteries to return to full charge faster by turning the inverter off which halts battery discharging.

  • Page 4: Operation

    "AUTO/REMOTE" or "CHARGE ONLY" as desired. If unit fails to reset, remove more load or allow unit to cool further and try again. Use an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite Model APSRM4, sold separately) to reset unit after shutdown due to due to overload or overheating.

  • Page 5: Configuration

    Operation (continued) Resetting Your Inverter/Charger to Restore AC Power Your Inverter/Charger may cease supplying AC power or DC charging power in order to protect itself from overload or to protect your electrical system. To restore normal functioning: Overload Reset: Switch operating mode switch to “DC OFF” and remove some of the connected electrical load (ie: turn off some of the AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload of the unit).
  • Page 6 Configuration (continued) Group B DIP Switches Select AC Sharing—OPTIONAL Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or generator when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the same time as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-through utility power.
  • Page 7 Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL Model features a 8-conductor telephone style receptacle 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.

  • Page 8: 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 9: Mounting

    Inverter/Charger and connected systems. Tripp Lite recommends permanent mounting of your Inverter/Charger as illustrated below. User must supply mounting hardware and is responsible for determining if the hardware and mounting surface are suitable to support the weight of the Inverter/Charger. Contact Tripp Lite if you require further assistance in mounting your Inverter/Charger.

  • Page 10: Battery Connection

    Battery Connection Connect your Inverter/Charger to your batteries using the following procedures: • Connect DC Wiring: Though your Inverter/Charger is a high-efficiency converter of electricity, its rated output capacity is limited by the length and gauge of the cabling running from the battery to the unit. Use the shortest length and largest diameter cabling (maximum 2/0 gauge) to fit your Inverter/Charger’s DC Input terminals (see table below).

  • Page 11: Ac Input/Output Connection

    Also, check that the circuit breaker(s) are not tripped.* 2.) If the problem continues, do not contact or return the Inverter/Charger to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233.
