Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers.

Location Warnings

• Install your Inverter/Charger (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust, direct sunlight and moisture.

• Although your Inverter/Charger is moisture resistant, it is NOT waterproof. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short circuit and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse the unit, and avoid any area where standing water might accumulate. Mounting should be in the driest location available.

• Leave a minimum of 5cm clearance at front and back of the Inverter/Charger for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.

• Do not install the Inverter/Charger directly near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

• Do not install near flammable materials, fuel or chemicals.

Battery Connection Warnings

• Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of identical voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.

• Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries if they are not kept well ventilated, your batteries should not be installed (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a “dead air” compartment. Ideally, any compartment would have some ventilation to outside air.

• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as batteries are connected.

• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury or property damage could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Do not use a Tripp Lite APS Inverter/Charger in life support or healthcare applications where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite APS Inverter/Charger could cause failure of or significantly alter the performance of, a life support device or medical equipment.

• Corded models: Do not modify the Inverter/Charger’s plug or receptacle in a way that eliminates its ground connection. Do not use power adapters that will eliminate the plug’s ground connection.

• Connect your Inverter/Charger only to a properly grounded AC power outlet or hardwired source. Do not plug the unit into itself; this will damage the device and void your warranty.

• You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the output of the Inverter/Charger.

Operation Warnings

• Your Inverter/Charger does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the device for any reason. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within the Inverter/Charger as long as the battery supply and/or AC input are connected. During any service work, the battery supply and AC input connection should therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter/Charger is operating in either inverting or charging mode. Operating Mode Switch should be in the OFF position. Dangerous arcing may result.

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 utilityor 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 supply 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. Use an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately) to reset unit due to overload only.

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 switch is set to “AUTO/REMOTE,” this light will 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 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 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:

Approximate Battery Charge Level*

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 the AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload of the unit). Wait one minute, then switch operating mode switch back to either “AUTO/REMOTE” or “CHARGE ONLY.”

Output Circuit Breaker Reset: Alternatively, check output circuit breaker(s) on the unit’s front panel. If tripped, remove some of the electrical load, then wait one minute to allow components to cool before resetting the circuit breaker. See Troubleshooting for other possible reasons AC output may be absent.

Select Load 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.

To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, Inverter/Chargers may be set to automatically limit the charger output. This keeps the sum of the unit’s AC load and charge power within the circuit breaker rating. This charger-limiting function has four settings, allowing you to reduce the charger’s draw lower and lower, as needed, if the AC input circuit breaker keeps tripping under the normal AC loads of devices you have connected downline from the unit. The figures on the next page show how to set your DIP Switches to determine how heavy the connected load can be on your Inverter/Charger before charger-limiting begins.

Configuration

(continued)

Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points—OPTIONAL

Most Limiting (#B1 & #B2 Up, factory

setting): Charger-limiting takes effect the moment any 230V AC load is applied; charger output falls gradually from full output at no 230V load passing through to no output at full load.

Less Limiting (#B1 Down & #B2 Up): Charger-limiting begins when the Inverter/Charger’s load reaches 33% of the Inverter/Charger’s load rating. Charger output falls gradually from full output at 33% of the Inverter/Charger’s load rating to about 33% of full output at full load.

Select Equalize Battery Charge—OPTIONAL

This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equal-

izing the charge state of your battery’s cells by time-limited overcharge of all cells. This can extend the useful life of

"Equalize

certain types of batteries; consult with your battery’s manufacturer to determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge equalization process is automatic; once started, it can only be stopped by removing the input power.

Least Limiting (#B1 Up & #B2 Down): Charger-limiting begins at when the Inverter/Charger’s load reaches 66% of the Inverter/Charger’s load rating. Charger output falls gradually from full output at 66% of the Inverter/Charger’s load rating to about 66% of full output at full load.

No Limiting (#B1 & #B2 Down): No charger-limiting occurs at any load size.

Setting Procedure

• Move to “Equalize” (DOWN) position for three seconds.

• Move to “Reset” (UP) position and leave it there. This is the factory default setting.

CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #3 in the down position after beginning process. Battery charge equalization should only be performed in strict accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions and specifications.

CAUTION: When switching to the High Charge Amp setting, the user must ensure that the amp

hour capacity of their battery system exceeds the amperage of the High Charge Amp setting or

the batteries may be damaged or degraded.

Set Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control—OPTIONAL (Not on 750 or 1250 models)

In order to save battery power, the unit's inverter automatically shuts off in the absence of any power demand from connected equipment or appliances (the electrical load). When the Inverter/Charger detects a load, it automatically turns its inverter function on. Users may choose the minimum load the Inverter/Charger will detect by adjusting the Battery Charge Conserver Control (see diagram). Using a small tool, turn the control clockwise to lower the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on for smaller loads. When the control is turned

(LESSER

LOAD

fully clockwise, the inverter will operate even when there is no load. Turn the control counterclockwise to increase the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is reached.

NOTE: The factory setting for the control is fully clockwise. However, based on the threshold load to which you’d like the inverter to respond, you should adjust the control counterclockwise to reduce its sensitivity until the inverter is active only when connected equipment or appliances are actually in use.

Connect Remote Control—Optional

All models feature an 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. See instructions packed with the remote control module.

Battery Selection

Select Battery Type

Select “Deep Cycle” batteries to enjoy optimum performance from your Inverter/Charger. Batteries of either Wet-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell /Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction are ideal. 6-volt “golf cart,” Marine Deep-Cycle or 8D Deep-Cycle batteries are also acceptable. You must set the Inverter/Charger’s Battery Type DIP Switch (see Configuration section for more information) to match the type of batteries you connect or your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time.

Match Battery Amp-Hour Capacity to Your Application

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 plus the output of an alternator when one is used.

Example

• STEP 1) Determine Total Wattage Required

Add the wattage ratings of all equipment you will connect to your Inverter/Charger. Wattage ratings are usually listed in equipment manuals or on nameplates. If your equipment is rated in amps, multiply that number times AC utility voltage to estimate watts. (Example: a drill requires 1.3 amps. 1.3 amps × 230 volts = 300 watts.)

NOTE: Your Inverter/Charger will operate at higher efficiencies at about 75% - 80% of nameplate rating.

Drill Orbital Sander Cordless Tool Charger

300W + 220W + 20W = 540W

Tools

• STEP 2) Determine DC Battery Amps Required

Divide the total wattage required (from step 1, above) by the battery voltage (i.e. 12 or 24) to determine the DC amps required.

• STEP 3) Estimate Battery Amp-Hours Required

Multiply the DC amps required (from step 2, above) by the number of hours you estimate you will operate your equipment exclusively from battery power before you have to recharge your batteries with utility- or generator-supplied AC power. Compensate for inefficiency by multiplying this number by 1.2. This will give you a rough estimate of how many amp-hours of battery power (from one or several batteries) you should connect to your Inverter/Charger.

NOTE: Battery amp-hour ratings are usually given for a 20-hour discharge rate. Actual amp-hour capacities are less when batteries are discharged at faster rates. For example, batteries discharged in 55 minutes provide only 50% of their listed amp-hour ratings, while batteries discharged in 9 minutes provide as little as 30% of their amp-hour ratings.

• STEP 4) Estimate Battery Recharge Required, Given YourApplication

You must allow your batteries to recharge long enough to replace the charge lost during inverter operation or else you will eventually run down your batteries. To estimate the minimum amount of time you need to recharge your batteries given your application, divide your required battery amp-hours (from step 3, above) by your Inverter/Charger’s rated charging amps (see Specifications section).

NOTE: For Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers providing 1000 watts or less of continuous AC power, a full-size battery will normally allow sufficient power for many applications before recharging is necessary. For mobile applications, if a single battery is continuously fed by an alternator at high idle or faster, then recharging from utility or generator power may not be necessary. For Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers over 1000 watts used in mobile applications, Tripp Lite recommends you use at least two batteries, if possible fed by a heavy-duty alternator anytime the vehicle is running. Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers will provide adequate power for ordinary usage within limited times without the assistance of utility or generator power. However, when operating extremely heavy electrical loads at their peak in the absence of utility power, you may wish to “assist your batteries” by running an auxiliary generator or vehicle engine, and doing so at faster than normal idling.

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

DC Connectors

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. Shorter and heavier gauge cabling reduces DC voltage drop and allows for maximum transfer of current. Your Inverter/Charger is capable of delivering peak wattage at up to 200% of its rated continuous wattage output

WARNING! • Failure to properly ground your Inverter/Charger to a vehicle’s chassis or earth ground may result in a lethal electrical shock hazard.

• Never attempt to operate your Inverter/Charger by connecting it directly to output from an alternator rather than a battery or battery bank.

• Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.

for brief periods of time. Heavier gauge cabling should be used when continuously operating heavy draw equipment under these conditions. Tighten your Inverter/Charger and battery terminals to approximately 3.5 Newton-meters of torque to create an efficient connection and to prevent excessive heating at this connection. Insufficient tightening of the terminals could void your warranty. See Specifications (included sepa-

rately) page for Minimum Recommended Cable Sizing Chart.

• Connect Ground: Using a #8 AWG wire

or larger directly connect the Main Ground Lug to the vehicle’s chassis or earth ground. See the Feature Identification section to locate

the Main Ground Lug on your specific Inverter/Charger model. All installations must comply with national and local codes and ordinances.

• Connect Fuse: Tripp Lite recommends that you connect all of your Inverter/Charger’s positive DC Terminals directly to a fuse(s) and fuse block(s) within 45 cm (18 inches) of the battery. The fuse’s rating must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your Inverter/Charger’s specifications. See Specifications for fuse and fuse block recommendations. See diagrams below for proper fuse placement.

Non-Vehicular or Vehicular

Non-vehicular applications include stationary configurations as well as mobile configurations that are not integrated into a vehicle’s electrical system. In a parallel connection, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage (listed in the Specifications section as either 12 or 24) must match the voltage of your battery or batteries (12 or 24). For example, a 12V DC Inverter/Charger would require 12V DC from your battery system.

In a series connection, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the number of batteries multiplied by their voltage. For example, a 24V DC Inverter/Charger would require either two 12V batteries connected in series (24 = 2 × 12) or four 6V batteries connected in series (24 = 4 × 6).

In vehicular applications, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the voltage of your battery or batteries— 12 Volts. Although it is possible to connect your Inverter/Charger to the main battery within your vehicle’s electrical system, in the normal vehicular context, the Inverter/Charger is connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries which are isolated from the drive system to prevent possible draining of the main battery.

AC Input/Output Connection

To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model. When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at start-up (“peak” wattage) than required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps, start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak” wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.

• DoubleBoost™Feature

Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to twice their nameplate rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment.

• OverPower™Feature

Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to 150% of their name plate rated wattage for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve power to reliably support tools and equipment longer.

* Actual duration depends on battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.

Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles

With a user-supplied cable and country-specific plug, connect the Inverter/Charger's IEC-320 AC Input Receptacle to your utility wall outlet. Connect your equipment directly to the Inverter/Charger's IEC-320 AC Output Receptacle(s). Select models also include a Universal AC Output Adapter which allows you to connect equipment with a wide variety of plug styles.

Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility supply before attempting hardwiring.

Connection for Models with Hardwire Terminals

Remove the screws and cover plate over the hardwire terminal box. Remove the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and to your equipment. Attach 1.28 cm diameter conduits (user-supplied) to the knockouts and thread wires through. Connect the conduits to each other with the ground bond connection supplied.

Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

¡GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES!

Este manual contiene instrucciones y advertencias importantes que deben seguirse durante la instalación, operación y almacenamiento de todos los inversores/cargadores de Tripp Lite.

Advertencias de ubicación

• Instale su inversor/cargador (ya sea para una aplicación móvil o estacionaria) en un lugar o compartimiento que minimice la exposición al calor, al polvo, a la luz solar directa y a la humedad.

• Aunque su inversor/cargador es resistente a la humedad, NO es impermeable. Llenar la unidad con agua causará un cortocircuito y podría causar lesiones personales por choque eléctrico. Nunca sumerja la unidad, y evite toda área donde pueda acumularse agua. El montaje debe realizarse en la ubicación más seca disponible.

• Deje una luz mínima de 5 cm en la parte frontal y posterior del inversor/cargador para una adecuada ventilación. A mayor carga del equipo conectado, la unidad generará más calor.

• No instale el inversor/cargador directamente cerca de medios de almacenamiento magnético, ya que puede dañar los datos.

• No lo instale cerca de materiales inflamables, combustibles o productos químicos.

Advertencias de conexión de batería

• Los sistemas de baterías múltiples deben estar conformados por baterías con un voltaje, una antigüedad, una capacidad en amperios hora y un tipo idénticos.

• Debido a que puede acumularse gas hidrógeno explosivo cerca de las baterías si no están bien ventiladas, no debe instalar baterías (ya sea para una aplicación móvil o estacionaria) en un compartimiento sin circulación de aire. En forma ideal, cualquier compartimiento tendría cierta ventilación al exterior.

• Pueden producirse chispas durante la conexión final de la batería. Siempre observe la correcta polaridad al conectar las baterías.

• No permita que ningún objeto entre en contacto con los dos terminales de entrada de corriente continua. No ponga en cortocircuito ni en puente estos terminales. Podrían producirse serias lesiones personales o daños a la propiedad.

Advertencias sobre la conexión de equipos

No use un inversor/cargador Tripp Lite APS para aplicaciones de soporte de vida o cuidado de la salud, en las que un funcionamiento defectuoso o una falla del inversor/cargador Tripp Lite pueda causar la falla o una alteración importante en el funcionamiento del dispositivo médico o de soporte de vida

• Modelos con cordón: No modifique el enchufe del inversor/cargador ni la toma en una forma en que elimine su conexión a tierra. No use adaptadores de potencia que eliminen la conexión a tierra del enchufe.

• Conecte su inversor/cargador sólo a una salida de corriente alterna o a una fuente cableada adecuadamente puesta a tierra. No conecte la unidad a si misma; esto dañará el dispositivo y anulará su garantía.

• Puede experimentar un funcionamiento irregular si conecta un supresor de sobretensiones, un acondicionador de línea o un UPS a la salida del inversor/cargador.

Advertencias de operación

• Su inversor/cargador no requiere un mantenimiento de rutina. No abra el dispositivo por ninguna razón. No hay partes en su interior que requieran mantenimiento por parte del usuario.

• Mientras la alimentación de baterías y/o la entrada de corriente alterna estén conectadas, hay voltajes potencialmente letales dentro del inversor/cargador. En consecuencia, durante cualquier trabajo de mantenimiento, deben desconectarse la alimentación de baterías y la entrada de corriente alterna.

• No conecte ni desconecte las baterías mientras el inversor/cargador está operando en modo de inversión o de carga. El conmutador del modo de operación debe estar en la posición apagado. Puede producirse un arco peligroso.
