Description

Tripp Lite's MRV2012UL Inverter/Charger is the quiet alternative to gas generators -- with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with! It provides equipment

with utility- or generator-supplied AC electricity filtered through premium ISOBAR surge protection. This heavy-duty DC-to-AC inverter with automatic

line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system serves as an extended-run UPS, a standalone power source or an automotive inverter

suitable for rugged RV applications. Supplies up to 2000 watts of continuous 120V AC power from any 12V DC battery or automotive DC source.

OverPower inverter output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous output for up to 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 power tools

and motorized equipment. When hardwire AC input is energized, commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is

recharged via 3-stage charging system with user-selectable 25/100 amp charger output. In UPS mode, the MRV 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 terminal

posts 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 control module 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 automatic transfer switching serves as a vehicular inverter for RVs, over-the-road trucking,

conversion vans and fleet service vehicles. Also serves as a standalone alternative power source for off-grid, alternative energy or export

applications and as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for equipment compatible with a 16.6 millisecond transfer time.

Features

MRV2012UL serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated battery charger

Supports 120V AC output from a 120V AC line power source or 12V DC battery source

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

equipment compatible with a one cycle transfer time

2000 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode, 3600 watts continuous AC output in AC line power mode

DoubleBoost inverter output supports momentary startup loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to 10 seconds

OverPower inverter output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for up to 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 battery charger with user-selectable 25/100 amp operation and adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types with charger on/off

capability; offers fast, reliable battery recharging

Protected hardwire DC terminal posts safely accept heavy-gauge input wiring from attached battery bank

Protected hardwire output passes 120V line power or inverter output through to connected equipment

Extremely reliable large-transformer design tested to UL (USA & Canada) standards

Moisture-resistant construction enables vehicular 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

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

4 configuration dip-switches support wet/gel battery charging profiles, charger enable/disable capability, selectable 75/85/95/105V AC low

voltage auto transfer points during brownout conditions

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 25A charger AC input breaker and variable-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 connector enables remote off/on switching (requires optional APSRM4 remote control module, sold separately)

Load-sensing control dial enables adjustable load threshold required to automatically turn the inverter on and off in DC mode as load

conditions change

Includes battery temperature sensor with 20 foot cable to prolong battery life by adjusting the charge level based on battery temperature

Automatic Generator Starter jack enables user configuration of automatic generator startup as inverter batteries drop to 11.5V DC and

generator shutoff as inverter batteries are recharged to 14.1V DC
