Introduction
Congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich integrated inverter/battery
charger on the market. Your APS provides your equipment with utility-supplied AC power, when
present. During a blackout, overvoltage or brownout, your APS automatically switches over to an
external battery source to power connected equipment with voltage and frequency-controlled
AC power.
Multi-Function Indicator Lights
Two sets of indicator lights keep you constantly informed of battery charge levels, fault conditions and
APS operation. One set of multi-function lights displays battery charge conditions and fault warnings.
The second set of multi-function lights displays APS operation conditions.
Multi-Operation Switches
Two control points give you convenient options when operating your APS. Set a variety of voltage
levels at which your APS’s inverter will turn on to maximize equipment protection and minimize battery
drain. Other options include a remote-control setting for greater convenience and a battery type
setting for greater charging efficiency.
Frequency-Controlled Output (Invert Mode)
Your APS controls line frequency so frequency-sensitive equipment can operate properly.
Automatic Overload Protection
If you overload your APS, it will automatically protect itself and your valuable batteries from damage.

Battery Charger
Your APS recharges your battery faster
than conventional chargers because
its three-stage charger profiles (Bulk,
Absorption and Float) are optimized,
regardless of the type of battery you
use (Wet or Gel).* In addition, the
advanced charging system protects
against over-charge and overdischarge to ensure a longer service
life from your battery.
* The Absorption and Float levels vary according to battery
type which is field settable either "Wet" or "Gel" Cell.
High Efficiency Output
Your APS’s advanced circuitry produces
a more efficient DC-to-AC conversion,
minimizing energy loss. This allows you
to run connected equipment longer
between battery charges. The APS will
maintain this highly-efficient output even
as the battery charge decreases.
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the
handling, installation, operation and storage of Tripp Lite APS Automatic Power Systems.

APS Installation
Configuration DIP Switch Settings*
(See Diagram 1, p. 46. Note: 1.1 is a closeup of the Configuration Dip Switches. 1.2 is “front”,
1.3 is “rear”).
Using a small tool, set the 4 Configuration DIP Switches (located on the bottom of your APS) to select
battery type and set the voltage range outside of which your APS will switch to battery power.
* Select before permanently mounting your APS.
• Select Battery Type
(DIP Switch #1)
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,” page 6 for more information.

APS INT 512 Conversion from 50 to 60 Hz.
For Qualified Service Personnel Only*
(See Diagram 2, p. 46. Note: 2.1 is the “adjustment resistor” located in the upper right-hand
corner of the component side of the circuit board).
To permanently convert the APS INT 512 to 60 Hz., qualified service personnel should open the APS
case, locate the resistor on the circuit board and remove it.
* Turn your APS OFF and disconnect from the wall outlet before 60 Hz conversion.
Electrical Connection
Plug APS INT 512 models into outlets providing 230V AC, 50 or 60 Hz. power.
