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 (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.
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. Note: The optional remote control module (APSRM4) will
only reset overloads.
Indicator Lights
Your Inverter/Charger (as well as an optional Tripp Lite 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.
LINE Green Indicator: If the operating mode
RMT
switch is set to "AUTO/REMOTE," this light will
BATT
TEMP
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY when your
connected equipment is receiving continuous AC
power supplied from a utility/generator source.
If the operating mode switch is set to "CHARGE ONLY," this light
will FLASH to alert you that the unit's inverter is OFF and will NOT
supply AC power in the absence of a utility/generator source or in
over/under voltage situations.
INV (Inverting) Yellow Indicator: This light will
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY whenever connected
TEMP
equipment is receiving battery-supplied, inverted AC
power (in the absence of a utility/generator source or
in over/under voltage situations). This light will be off
when AC power is supplying the load. This light will
FLASH to alert you if the load is less than the Battery Charge
Conserver (Load Sense) setting.

LOAD Red Indicator: This red light will
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY whenever the
inverter is functioning and the power demanded by
connected appliances and equipment exceeds 100%
of load capacity. The light will FLASH to alert you
when the inverter shuts down due to a severe overload
or overheating. If this happens, turn the operating mode switch
"OFF"; remove the overload and let the unit cool. You may then turn
the operating mode switch to either "AUTO/REMOTE" or "CHARGE
Position =
ONLY" after it has adequately cooled. This light will be off when
AC power is supplying the load.
BATTERY Indicator Lights: These three lights will illuminate in
several sequences to show the approximate charge level of your
connected battery bank and alert you to two fault conditions:

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 "OFF" and

remove some of the connected electrical load (ie: turn off some of
