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 in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust, direct sunlight and

moisture. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short-circuit and could cause personal injury due to electric shock.

• For proper ventilation, allow a minimum 2 inches of clearance at front and back of the Inverter/Charger. To avoid overheating

the Inverter, the compartment that houses the Inverter/Charger must be properly ventilated with adequate outside air ﬂow. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.

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

• Do not install the Inverter/Charger near ammable 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 well ventilated, do not install batteries in a

“dead air” compartment. The battery compartment should have some ventilation to outside air.

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

• Do not allow objects to contact the DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal

injury or property damage could result.

Ground Connection Warnings

• Safe operation requires connecting the Inverter/Charger’s Main Ground Terminal directly to the frame of the vehicle or

earth ground.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to signicantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the

output of the Inverter/Charger.

• User must supply proper protection for wire openings in unit panels.

Operation Warnings

• Your Inverter does not require routine maintenance.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within the Inverter/Charger as long as the battery supply is connected. During any service

work, the battery supply should therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter/Charger is operating from the battery supply. Dangerous arcing

may result.

1. Overview and Features

1.1 Overview

• Tripp Lite’s Sine Wave Inverter-Charger is a heavy-duty unit generating a pure sine wave from a 12V battery bank. It can

supply power to a wide range of connected equipment, from heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners to computers and peripheral devices. It is designed to work in heavy load conditions, so de-rating is unnecessary.

• The smart charger is compatible with various battery types and sizes. The switch module automatically diverts the energy

transfer path between the inverter and an AC input. When the AC source is lower than the transfer level, the path switches

to the inverter. Otherwise, the load is powered by the AC input.

1.3 Features

1.3.1 Battery Temperature Port

This port allows connection of a Battery Temperature-Sensing Cable (sold separately). The sensing function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge oat voltage level based on battery temperature. Connect the sensor cable to the RJ11 port labeled “Battery Temperature.” With user-supplied electrical or duct tape, secure the sensor to the side of the battery below

the electrolyte level. Make sure that nothing, not even tape, comes between the sensor and the side of the battery. To guard against false readings due to ambient temperature, place the sensor between batteries if possible and away from sources of

extreme heat or cold. If the sensor cable is not used, the Inverter/Charger will charge according to its default 25°C values.

1.3.2 Communication Port (for APSRMSW Remote Control)

This port allows connection of the APSRMSW Remote Control (sold separately). The remote conrol allows the Inverter/

Charger to be mounted out of sight in a compartment or cabinet and operated conveniently from a remote location. See the instructions packed with the remote control module for more information.

2. Battery Charger

2.1 Mode of Operation

The internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay allow the unit to operate as either a battery charger or an inverter. An

external AC power source (e.g. shore power or generator) must be connected to the inverter’s AC input in order to allow it to operate as a battery charger. When the unit is operating as a charger, AC loads are powered by the external AC power source.

2.2 Transfer Switching Speed

Transfer time is less than 16 milliseconds.

3. Battery

3.1 Select Battery Type

Select 12V “Deep Cycle” batteries to receive optimum performance from your Inverter/Charger. Do not use ordinary car or starting batteries or batteries rated in Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). If the batteries you connect to the Inverter/Charger are not true Deep Cycle batteries, their operational lifetimes may be signicantly shortened. If you are using the same battery bank to power the Inverter/Charger as well as DC loads, your battery bank will need to be appropriately sized (larger loads will require a battery bank with a larger amp-hour capacity) or the operational lifetimes of the batteries may be signicantly reduced.

Batteries of either Wet-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell /Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction are ideal. Set Switch 5 to OFF for Wet-Cell batteries and ON for Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Two 6-volt “golf cart”, Marine Deep-Cycle or 8D DeepCycle batteries in series are also acceptable. In many cases, the vehicle battery may be the only one installed. Auxiliary

batteries must be identical to the vehicle batteries if they are connected to each other.

3. Battery

3.1.1 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 efcient at DC-to-AC inversion,

their rated output capacities are limited by the total amp-hour capacity of connected batteries and the support of your

vehicle’s alternator if the engine is kept running.

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 2.8 amps. 2.8 amps × 230 volts = 640 watts.)

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

Appliances and Electronics

Desktop Computer with Refrigerator Table Fan Large LCD Monitor

540W + 150W + 250W = 940W

13mm (1/2”) Drill Orbital Sander

640W + 220W = 860W

Tools

•STEP2)DetermineDCBatteryAmpsRequired

Divide the total wattage required (from step 1, above) by the nominal battery voltage 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 inefciency 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YourApplication

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 (depending on the Switch 6, 7 and 8 ON/OFF settings).

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 any time 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.

3. Battery

3.2 Monthly Maintenance

• Check the electrolyte level of each Wet-Cell battery cell monthly after the batteries have been charged. The level should be

about one-half inch above the top of the plates, but not completely full. Note: This check is not necessary for maintenancefree batteries.

• Check the battery connections for tightness and corrosion. If any corrosion is noted, disconnect the cables and clean them with a mild solution of baking soda and water. DO NOT ALLOW THE SOLUTION TO ENTER THE BATTERY. When nished, rinse

the top of the battery with clean water.

• To reduce corrosion on the battery terminals, coat them with a thin layer of petroleum jelly or anti-corrosion grease. Do not

apply any material between the terminal and the cable lugs; the connection should be metal to metal. Apply the protective material after the bolts have been tightened.

3.3 Battery Installation

Caution! Batteries can produce extremely high currents. Review both the important safety instructions at the beginning of this manual and the battery supplier’s precautions before installing the inverter and batteries.

3.3.1 Battery Location

Batteries should be installed in an accessible location with good access to the battery caps and terminals. At least two feet of overhead clearance is recommended. Batteries must be located as close as possible to the inverter. Do not install the inverter

in the same compartment with non-sealed batteries (sealed batteries are acceptable). The gasses produced by non-sealed

batteries during charging are highly corrosive and will shorten the life of the inverter.

3.3.2 Battery Enclosure

Batteries should be installed in a locked enclosure or room. The enclosure should be well ventilated to prevent accumulation of hydrogen gasses that are released during the battery charging process. The enclosure should be made of acid-resistant

material or coated with an acid-resistant nish to prevent corrosion from spilled electrolyte and released fumes. If the batteries

are located outdoors, the enclosure should be rainproof and have mesh screens to prevent insects and rodents from entering.

Before installing the batteries in the enclosure, cover the bottom with a layer of baking soda to neutralize any acid spills.

3.4 Battery Connection

3.4.1 Connect your Inverter/Charger to your batteries using the following procedures:

• Connect DC Wiring: Though your Inverter/Charger is a high-efciency converter of electricity, its rated output capacity is

limited by the length and gauge of the cabling running from the battery to the unit. Use the shortest length and largest

diameter cabling to provide maximum performance (see table below). Shorter and heavier-gauge cabling reduces DC voltage drop and permits maximum transfer of current. Your Inverter/Charger is capable of delivering peak wattage at up

to 200% of its rated continuous wattage output 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 establish an efcient connection and to prevent excessive heating at the connection. Insufcient tightening of the terminals could void your warranty.

3. Battery

• Connect Fuse: NEC (National Electrical Code) article 551 requires that you connect all of your Inverter/Charger’s positive DC Terminals directly to a UL-listed fuse(s) and fuse block(s) within 18 inches of the battery. The fuse’s rating must equal or exceed the minimum DC fuse rating displayed on the Inverter/Charger’s nameplate. See diagrams below for proper fuse

placement.

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.

3.4.2 Non-Vehicular or Vehicular

Your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the voltage of your battery or batteries—12 volts in most

vehicular applications.

It is possible to connect your Inverter/Charger to the main battery within your vehicle’s electrical system. In most vehicles, the Inverter/ Charger will be connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries, isolated from the drive system to

prevent possible draining of the main battery.

4. Installation and Operation

4.1 Installation

4.1.1 Environment

The Inverter/Charger must be installed in a protected location that is isolated from sources of high temperature and moisture.

To assure peak performance, battery cables should be kept as short as possible. However, do not install the Inverter/Charger

in the same compartment as non-sealed batteries. Accumulated hydrogen and oxygen generated by the batteries could be ignited by an arc (resulting from connection of the battery cables) or by switching a relay.

The Inverter/Charger requires unrestricted air ﬂow to operate at high power for sustained periods. Do not mount the inverter

in an enclosed space. This will restrict air ow and cause the inverter’s protection circuitry to activate, reducing maximum

available power.

4.1.2 System Grounding

Proper grounding is essential to assure safe operation of the Inverter/Charger. Grounding requirements vary by country and application. For specic requirements pertaining to your location and application, consult local codes and the NEC.

6. Troubleshooting

• Your Inverter/Charger requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable or user-replaceable parts, but should be kept dry at all times. Periodically check, clean and tighten all cable connections as necessary, both at the unit and at the

battery.

• A small-size battery being charged at a higher charging rate could cause an overvoltage shutdown. To prevent this, reduce

the charge rate or discharge the battery before recharging.

• If the Inverter does not start up properly, disconnect the system from the battery for 30 seconds, then repeat the startup

procedure. If the system still does not start up properly, visit www.tripplite.com/support.

Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

¡GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES!

Este manual contiene instrucciones y advertencias importantes que se deben seguir durante la instalación, el

funcionamiento y el almacenaje de todos los convertidores/cargadores Tripp Lite.

Advertencias de ubicación

• Instale su convertidor/cargador en una ubicación o compartimento que minimice la exposición al calor, polvo, luz solar

directa y humedad. Si la unidad se llena de agua se puede producir un cortocircuito que podría causar lesiones físicas debido a una descarga eléctrica.

• Deje un espacio mínimo de 2 pulgadas (5 cm) en la parte delantera y trasera del convertidor/cargador para una adecuada ventilación. Con el n de evitar el sobrecalentamiento del convertidor, cualquier compartimento en el que esté alojado el dispositivo debe estar adecuadamente ventilado con una entrada de aire del exterior. Cuanto más pesada sea la carga del

equipo conectado, más calor generará la unidad.

• No instale el convertidor/cargador directamente cerca de un medio de almacenaje magnético, ya que esto puede corromper

los datos.

• No realice la instalación cerca de materiales inamables, combustibles ni productos químicos.

• No monte esta unidad con el panel frontal o con el panel trasero hacia abajo (Bajo ningún ángulo o inclinación). Si lo monta de esta manera, inhibirá seriamente el sistema de enfriamiento interno de la unidad; lo que nalmente causará daños al

producto que no están cubiertos por la garantía.

Advertencias de conexión de la batería

• Los sistemas de varias baterías pueden estar compuestos de baterías de idéntico voltaje, antigüedad, capacidad amperio-

hora y tipo

• Como se puede acumular hidrógeno explosivo cerca de las baterías si no están bien ventiladas, no debe instalar estas en un compartimento con aire viciado. Lo ideal es que cualquier compartimento disponga de una entrada de aire exterior para la ventilación.

• Se pueden producir chispas durante la conexión de la batería. Al conectar las baterías, hágalo siempre en los polos

adecuados.

• No permita que haya objetos en contacto con los terminales de entrada CC. No acople ni conecte estos terminales juntos. Se pueden producir daños a la propiedad o lesiones físicas graves.

Advertencias de conexión a tierra

• La operación segura requiere conectar la terminal de conexión a tierra del Inversor/Cargador directamente al bastidor del

vehículo o una tierra física.

Advertencias de conexión del equipo

• No es aconsejable el uso de este equipo para aplicaciones de mantenimiento articial de la vida en las que es

presumible una avería en el equipo que provoque un fallo del equipo de mantenimiento articial de la vida o que afecte signicativamente a su seguridad o efectividad. No utilice este equipo en presencia de una mezcla inamable de sustancias anestésicas con aire, oxígeno u óxido nitroso.

• Podrá experimentar resultados de rendimiento desigual si conecta un supresor de sobrecarga, un acondicionador de línea o un sistema UPS a la toma de salida del convertidor/cargador.

• El usuario debe suministrar la protección adecuada para las aberturas de paso de cables en los paneles de la unidad.

Advertencias de funcionamiento

• Su convertidor no requiere mantenimiento rutinario.

• En el interior del convertidor/cargador puede haber voltajes potencialmente peligrosos mientras el suministro de la batería esté conectado. Por lo tanto, durante cualquier trabajo de mantenimiento, la batería debe estar desconectada.

• No conecte ni desconecte las baterías mientras el convertidor/cargador está funcionando con suministro de la batería. Se

puede producir un arco eléctrico peligroso

1. Visión de conjunto y características

1.1 Visión de conjunto

• El convertidor/cargador de ondas sinusoidales de Tripp Lite es una unidad de carga de gran potencia que genera una onda sinusoidal pura a partir de un módulo de baterías de 12V. Puede suministrar energía a gran variedad de equipos conectados:

desde radiadores, aparatos de aire acondicionado, refrigeradores y aspiradoras a ordenadores y dispositivos periféricos. Está

diseñado para trabajar en condiciones de carga pesada, de manera que no es necesaria una disminución de potencia.

• El cargador inteligente es compatible con varios tipos y tamaños de baterías. El módulo del conmutador desvía

automáticamente la trayectoria de transferencia de energía entre el convertidor y una entrada de CA. Cuando la fuente de CA es menor que el nivel transferido, la trayectoria pasa al convertidor. De otro modo, la carga se alimenta por medio de la entrada de CA.

• El tiempo de transferencia es 10 milisegundos.
