Thank you for purchasing APC’s Power Inverter. Please fill out the enclosed Warranty Registration Card, or register your purchase on-line at: www.apc.com/support.

Overview

APC’s Power Inverter (Figure 1) is designed for years of trouble-free use. The Inverter is a sinewave back-up power supply intended to serve house loads. It is rated for 800 VA/500W at 230 Vac, 50-Hz, and operates on a wide range of input voltages (100 - 265V). If the input voltage goes out of range (less than 100V or more than 265V), the utility is isolated and the inverter supplies power to the load from the internal batteries. The Inverter can serve inductive loads (flourescent lamps, ceiling and table fans), resistive loads (incandescent lamps), and switched mode power supply (SMPS) loads (television). The typical backup time with the primary battery pack at full load is approximately two (2) hours. Backup time can be further extended by connecting the optional external battery pack in parallel to the existing battery pack.

Note: APC offers tubular, as well as flat-plate batteries for use with the Power Inverter. For the purposes of this manual, only the tubular batteries are shown.

Section 4. Controls and Indicators

Please review this section thoroughly before applying power to the Power Inverter.

Inverter Controls - Controls provided on the Power Inverter consist of the holiday mode switch marked AWAY/HOME, and the Te st / Mu t e switch, as well as a rear panel Push to Reset circuit breaker, and are defined in the following:

AWAY/HOME - (also known as the holiday mode switch) - In the HOME position, this two-position rocker switch (Figure 11) sets

the Inverter so that it will switch to battery output when there is a utility power outage.

In the AWAY position, the Inverter goes into standby mode and will not switch to battery power in the event of a power outtage. This is to conserve the batteries. However, in this position, the Inverter will charge the batteries until a utility power failure occurs.

TEST/MUTE - In TEST mode, when ON MAINS LED is lit, on pressing this push button, the unit will do self test to determine the state of the system. During On Battery self test it will also show the load status which can be used to find out the load capacity. In the MUTE position (push in for 5 seconds), this push button switch silences the low battery buzzer.

Circuit Breaker Switch (Rear Panel) - When in ON MAINS mode, if the system draws more than 10A, circuit breaker will trip. To reset the circuit breaker switch, push the switch fully inward.

Inverter Indicators - The Inverter provides light emitting diode (LED) indicators (Figure 11) to show the operational condition of the Inverter and batteries. Indicators consist of Inverter Load Status (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and OVER LOAD). Other indicators consist of: INVERTER DISABLE, ON MAINS, ON BATTERY, and FAULT). Using Table 1, determine the condition of the Inverter and batteries.
