Description

Tripp Lite's APSX750F DC-to-AC inverter with faster automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system serves as an extended run

UPS, a standalone power source or an automotive inverter. Supplies up to 750 watts of continuous 230V AC power to 2 AC outlets from any 12V

battery or automotive DC source. OverPower inverter output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous output for 1-60 minutes and

DoubleBoost inverter output feature delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds, providing the extra power needed to cold

start heavy-duty tools and motorized equipment. When AC cable is connected to a live wall socket, commercial power passes through to connected

equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3-stage, selectable 5/20 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts

and voltage fluctuations with a near instantaneous automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of high current DC input terminals

for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling - see Owner's Manual for recommendations). Passes sine wave utility or generator power

during battery charging and UPS line power operation, plus efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes. Reliable large

transformer design, with frequency control powers resistive electronic loads or large inductive motors, compressors and other items with high current

needs on startup. Optional APSRM4 wired remote power switch with full status LEDs provides remote power inverter on/off switching and continuous

status information (APSRM4 sold separately). Supports an unlimited amount of runtime with any number of user-supplied batteries connected. Highly

adaptable to a variety of applications and site conditions with adjustable charger settings for wet/gel battery types and selectable line to battery

power transfer voltages.

Applications

Versatile inverter/charger system with auto-transfer switching serves as an automotive inverter for RVs, over-the-road trucking, conversion

vans and fleet service vehicles; a standalone alternative power source for off-grid, alternative energy or export applications and as an

uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for items compatible with a 10 millisecond transfer time.

Features

APSX750 serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated battery charger

Supports 230V AC output from a 230V AC line power source or 12V DC battery source

10 millisecond automatic transfer between line and battery power supports UPS protection during blackouts and voltage fluctuations for

equipment compatible with a one half-cycle transfer time

750 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode

Double Boost inverter output supports momentary startup loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to 10 seconds (see specification

chart)

OverPower inverter output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for 1-60 minutes under ideal battery and temperature conditions.

(For best results, utilize OverPower usage for as short of a duration as possible, ensure battery bank and cabling is able to provide full

nominal DC voltage under load and allow inverter/charger to fully cool before and after OverPower usage.)

3-stage, selectable 5/20 amp battery charger with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types offers fast, reliable battery recharging

Protected hardwire bolt-down input lugs safely accept heavy gauge input wiring from attached battery bank

Dual C13 output receptacles pass 120V line power or inverter output through to connected equipment

Reliability enhanced large-transformer design with secure mounting flanges and protected DC wiring terminals

Moisture-resistant construction enables vehicular or marine operation in high humidity environments

3 position operating mode switch supports "AUTO" mode to enable automatic transfer between DC and AC modes, CHARGE-ONLY to

maintain a full battery charge when AC is present without auto transfer and SYSTEM OFF settings

Set of six front panel LEDs display AC/DC operational modes, overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system fault status

Set of 4 configuration dip switches support wet/gel battery charging profiles, charger enable/inhibit, and selectable 144/163/182/201V AC

low voltage auto transfer during brownouts

Set of 4 additional configuration dip switches support 4 levels of charger limiting relative to output load size, a battery equalization program

and battery charger low/high settings

Resettable 3A charger AC input breaker and resettable 4A AC output breaker and automatic 2-speed cooling fan protect the inverter from

load and temperature-related failures

Grounding lug properly connects the inverter/charger system to earth ground or vehicle grounding system

Automatic overload and thermal shutoff safely turns off inverter as excessive loads or overheating conditions develop

Front panel remote control connector enables remote off/on switching (requires APSRM4 switch accessory). Optional APSRM4 accessory

also includes user-configurable jacks to support inverter shutoff or startup as a vehicle ignition is engaged
