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.

Bulk

Stage 2

Absorption

Stage 3

Float

Advanced, 3-Stage 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 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.

APS Installation (Optional)

Permanent Mounting*

(See Diagram 3, p. 46).

• Install four 5 mm (#8) fasteners** into a rigid diagram. (Leave head of fasteners slightly above surface in order to engage keyhole slots molded into the bottom of the APS's feet.)

• Place the APS's four keyhole slots over the four fasteners and slide APS forward or back to secure. Install “L”-shaped bracket* to permanently hold APS in position.

* Recommended for vehicular installation or other application requiring permanent, secure mounting. ** All fasteners and brackets are user-supplied. Turn your APS OFF and disconnect from the wall outlet before mounting.

Splash Guard Installation*

(See Diagram 4, p. 46).

Thread four 4 mm (#8) sheet metal screws through four holes in a rigid measuring 175 mm x 225 mm, through four 25 mm long hollow spacers and into the four blind holes in the top panel of your APS.

* Recommended for use in wet locations. All sheet metal screws, splash guard and hollow spacers are user-supplied. Turn your APS OFF and disconnect from wall outlet before installation.

APS INSTALLATION

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Install your APS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the APS for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of your connected equipment, the more heat will be generated.

• Do not remove or modify the ground pin of the APS's plug. Do not use two-prong adapters with the APS's plug.

• Connect your APS to a three-wire, grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug your APS into itself; this will damage the APS and void your warranty.

Battery Selection

Selecting Battery Type

Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your APS with 12V DC and your equipment with an adequate amp hour capacity.*

* Even though APS models are high-efficiency converters of electricity, their rated output capacities are limited by the amp-hour size of the external batteries.

Select ‘Deep-Cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum performance from your APS. Select batteries of either Wet-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell/Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction. 6 Volt “golf-cart,” Marine Deep-Cycle or 8D Deep-Cycle batteries are also acceptable.**

** You must set Configuration DIP Switch #1 (Battery Type) to match the type of batteries you connect or your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time. See “APS Installation,” for more information.

Selecting Battery Amp Hour Capacity

Step 1:

Add the Wattage Ratings of your connected equipment to determine the Total Wattage Required.*

* The wattage rating is usually stated in the equipment's manuals or on their nameplates. If your equipment is rated in amperes, convert to watts by multiplying the ampere rating by your nominal AC line voltage (230).

Step 2:

Divide the Total Wattage Required (from Step 1) by 12 to determine the DC Amperes Required.

Step 3:

Multiply the DC Amperes Required (from Step 2) by the Number of Hours Between Battery Charging to determine the Battery Amp-Hour Rough Estimate.

Step 4:

Battery Amp-Hour ratings are usually given for a 20 hour discharge rate. Actual Amp-Hour capacity is less when discharged at a faster rate. To compensate for this discrepency, multiply the Battery Amp-Hour Rough Estimate (from Step 3) by 1.2 to determine the optimum battery amp-hour size you should connect to your APS.**

** Your charging amps multiplied by the charging hours must exceed the discharge amp-hours taken from the batteries between charges or you will eventually rundown your battery bank.

Battery Connection

SAFETY WARNINGS

• You must connect batteries in order for APS models to operate.

• Multiple battery systems must be made up of batteries of the same voltage, age, amp hour capacity and type.

• Keep battery location well-ventilated. Explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near the battery if it is not kept well ventilated. Sparks may result during final battery connection.

• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge them together. Serious injury to person and/or property could result.

Battery Connection (Standard)

Single 12V Battery Connection

(See Diagram 5, p. 46. Note: 5.1 is the fuse.)

Multiple 12V Battery System Connection (in Parallel)

(See Diagram 6, p. 47. Note: 6.1 is the fuse.)

Multiple 6V Battery System Connection (in Series)

(See Diagram 7, p. 47. Note: 7.1 is the fuse. Also, the connection will combine to provide 12V DC).

• Connect your APS's positive DC Terminal directly to a fuse near your battery.

UL recommends that you install a recognized UL component fuse block and fuse within 18 inches of the battery. The fuse should be rated a minimum of 100 amps. (See Figures 5, 6 and 7 for recommended connection).

• Use the SHORTEST and HEAVIEST GAUGE battery cabling.

Use #4 cabling for DC cable lengths up to 10 feet. Use #2 cabling for lengths up to 16 feet. Shorter and heavier gauge cabling limits DC voltage drop and allows for maximum transfer of current.*

* APS models are capable of delivering a much higher wattage output for brief periods of time. Therefore the wiring should be configured to handle this brief high-current potential draw. Even though APS models are high-efficiency converters of electricity, their rated output capacities are limited by the length and gauge of the wires running from the battery to the APS.

Battery Connection (Vehicular)

Choose the Basic Connection if you are running light hand tools or other small appliances for a brief period of time (see Diagram 8, p. 47. Note: 8.1 is the alternator; 8.2 is the vehicle battery ground;

8.3 is a 12V vehicle battery; and 8.4 is the fuse). Choose the Advanced Connection if you are using your APS to power heavy loads for extended periods of time (see Diagram 9, p. 47. Note: 9.1 is the

alternator; 9.2 is a battery isolator; 9.3 is the vehicle battery ground; 9.4 is a 12V vehicle battery; and 9.5 is the fuse). This connection incorporates a battery isolator and separate battery system to

provide battery power to your APS while preventing it from draining your vehicle's battery. Note: Depending on your application, you may require more than one 12V Deep Cycle Battery.

Caution: Never operate your APS from an alternator without a battery connected as show in Diagrams 8 and 9, p.47

Equipment Connection

Match the power requirements of your equipment with the power output of your APS to avoid overload.

When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “Continuous” power ratings with “Peak” power ratings. Electric motors require more power to turn ON (“peak power”) than they require to run continuously. “Peak” power ratings are usually 2 to 5 times “Continuous” ratings. Most electric motors require “peak power” only once when they initially start. However, the electric motors found in equipment such as refrigerators and sump pumps constantly cycle ON and OFF in relation to demand. These motors require “peak power” at multiple, unpredictable times during their operation.*

* After the APS has started an electric motor, it will have reserve power while the motor is running to dedicate to other devices. Increase the APS load at your discretion. Note: If your batteries are low or the motor is very inefficient, worn or old, the battery fuses may blow.

Connect your equipment to the APS's receptacles.*

• computers • kitchen appliances • CD players

• microwaves • refrigerators • VCRs

• sump pumps • electric motors (up to 1/6 hp) • lights

• power tools • tape recorders • turntables

• and more!

* All APS models feature Frequency Controlled Inverter Output which allows devices dependent on AC line frequency to operate properly. Devices that are dependent on line frequency include computers, VCRs, CD players, tape recorders, clocks and turntables.

Set “Operating Mode” Switch

• Switch to “AUTO” when you are using connected equipment. ADVANTAGE: Provides battery

backup power during blackouts or brownouts.

• Switch to “CHARGE ONLY/REMOTE” when you are not using connected equipment.

(WARNING! UPS will not provide battery backup!) ADVANTAGES: A) Continues to charge battery when power is present, and B) Turns OFF the APS’s inverter, preventing battery drain during blackouts or brownouts.

Note: When the switch is in the “CHARGE ONLY/REMOTE” position, you can operate a user-supplied 2-position switch to transfer between the “CHARGE ONLY” and “AUTO” modes. (See Remote Connector description on page 10.)

• Switch to “OFF” to completely turn off the APS and connected equipment or to reset the APS after

it has shut down due to overload or overheating.

Equipment Connection

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Tripp Lite does not recommend the use of any of its APS series auto-switching emergency power sources in any life support application when a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite APS unit could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of the life support device. Contact Tripp Lite for further information on this subject.

• Do not plug a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS into the AC output receptacles of the unit.

• Do not plug your APS into itself; this will damage the APS and void your warranty.

Switches, Indicator Lights & Other Features

(See Diagram 10, p. 48 to locate the following switches, indicator lights and other features. 10.1 shows the UniPlug Universal Plug Adaptor [included with APS INT 512 models] which accepts most worldwide plug configurations; 10.2 shows the plug and cordset. Note: 10.21=ground,

10.22=neutral, 10.23=line 1, 10.24=detachable line cord. 10.3 shows the “Configuration Dip Switches” located on the bottom of the unit.)

Switches

1. “Operating Mode” Switch

This switch selects the APS operating mode (either “CHARGE ONLY/REMOTE”, “AUTO”, or “OFF”. See “Equipment Connection” for the optimum switch setting.

2. “CONFIGURATION” DIP Switches

These four switches must be set for the type of battery your APS will be connected to and the voltage range outside of which your APS will switch to battery power. The Battery Type DIP Switch #1 setting must match the type of batteries you connect or your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time. Most loads will perform adequately when your APS’s High AC Voltage Point DIP Switch #2 is set to 257V and its Low AC Voltage Point DIP Switches #3 and #4 are set to 181V. Set your APS above or below these points, however, to minimize frequent battery operation caused by momentary high/low line voltage swings which have little effect on equipment operation. (See “APS Installation” and Diagram 1 on page 46.)

Indicator Lights

3. “LINE”

This green light will turn continuously ON whenever connected equipment is receiving utility-supplied AC power. It will flash intermittently when utility power is present and your APS's Operating Mode Switch is set to “Charge Only/Remote” to warn you that the APS's inverter is OFF and that the APS WILL NOT provide battery backup during blackouts, brownouts or overvoltages.

4. “INV”

This red light will turn continuously ON whenever connected equipment is receiving battery-supplied AC power (during a blackout, brownout or overvoltage while connected to utility power or when connected to batteries during vehicular operation).

5. “LOAD”

This red light will turn continuously ON when the APS’s load is between 80% and 110% of capacity. The light will flash intermittently when the APS's inverter shuts down due to a severe overload or overheating. If this happens, turn Operating Mode Switch OFF. Remove overload. Let the unit cool. You may then turn the APS ON again.

6. “BATTERY HI/MED/LO”

These three lights will turn ON in several sequences to show the approximate charge level and voltage of your connected battery bank and alert you to several fault conditions:

BATTERY CHARGE INDICATION (Approximate)

Indicator Capacity Volts

Green 91% - Full 12.0 - 16.0 Green & Yellow 81% - 90% 11.8 - 12.0 Yellow 61% - 80% 11.6 - 11.8 Yellow & Red 41% - 60% 11.3 - 11.6 Red 21% - 40% 11.0 - 11.3 — 1% - 20% 10.0 - 11.0 Flashing Red 0% (Inverter shutdown) <10.0

All lights “Slow” Flash* Excessive discharge <8.0 All lights “Rapid” Flash** Overcharge >16.0

* Approximately 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off. See Troubleshooting section. ** Approximately 1/4 second on, 1/4 second off. May also indicate a battery charger fault exists. See Troubleshooting section.

Other Features

7. DC Input Terminals

The terminals' wing nuts secure the wires leading from your external battery. Connect a battery or system of batteries that will ultimately combine to provide your APS with 12V DC and your equipment with an adequate amp hour capacity. For best connection, use soldered lugs on your battery cable. See Battery Selection section for more information.

8. AC Receptacles (NEMA 5-15R)

These receptacles allow connection of equipment designed to run on 230 VAC 50/60 Hz. power. APS INT 512 models may require receptacle adapters (Universal Adapter included see Diagram

10.1, p. 48) to connect equipment to the APS.

9. AC Line Cord (NEMA 5-15P fixed or detachable)

Plug the cord into a 230V, 50/60 Hz. outlet. DO NOT plug the cord into the APS’s AC receptacles. The APS INT 512 features an IEC-320 male plug and a detachable IEC-320 female to NEMA 5-15P male cord set. Note the polarity of the plug in Diagram 10.2, p. 48.

10. Resettable Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker protects your APS against damage due to output overload. Remove overload. Wait 1 minute. Reset circuit breaker.

11. Remote “ON/OFF” Connector

This allows for remote APS control using user-supplied wire and 2-position switch. The connector accepts a 3.5 mm 2-wire miniature phone plug. Note: The user-supplied remote switch can only control APS operation when the APS “OPERATING MODE” switch is in the “CHARGE-ONLY” position. The remote switch can only transfer between the “CHARGE-ONLY” and “AUTO” modes. After completing a remote connection, determine which position is the “CHARGE-ONLY” mode and which position is the “AUTO” mode for your particular switch. The position on your remote switch that causes the green “LINE” indicator light to flash intermittently is the “CHARGE-ONLY” mode position.
