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 Inverters.

Location Warnings

• Install your Inverter (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 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 for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit. Any compartment that contains the Inverter must be properly ventilated with adequate outside airflow to avoid overheating the Inverter.

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

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

• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.

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.

• Connect the Inverter to the battery with recommended DC fusing (see Battery Connection).

Ground Connection Warnings

• Safe operation requires connecting the Inverter's main grounding screw directly to the frame of the vehicle or earth ground.

Equipment Connection Warnings

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

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

Operation Warnings

• Your Inverter 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 as long as the battery is connected. During any service work, the battery should therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter is operating. Dangerous arcing may result.

Feature Identification

Universal AC Outlet: This outlet allows you to connect equipment via more than 20 international AC plug types, including plugs common throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Illuminated ON/OFF Switch: When you set the switch to the ON position, the Inverter provides AC power by converting DC power from the connected battery. Set the switch to the OFF position to shut down the Inverter and conserve the battery's charge when you are not using connected equipment. Also set the switch to the OFF position to reset the Inverter if it has shut down due to low battery or overload. See the Operation section for more information.

Cooling Fan: This fan regulates the internal temperature of the Inverter and prolongs service life.

DC Power Terminals: These positive and negative terminals connect to the battery via user-supplied cabling. See the Battery Connection section for instructions.

Main Ground Screw: Connect to earth ground or to a vehicle or boat grounding system in order to properly ground the Inverter. See the Battery Connection section for instructions.

Low Battery Alarm (not shown): An internal circuit automatically detects low battery voltage and shuts down the Inverter to preserve your vehicle's battery. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position if the alarm sounds. See the Operation section for more information.

Overload Alarm (not shown): An internal circuit automatically detects overload conditions and shuts down the Inverter as a protective measure. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position if the alarm sounds. See the Operation section for more information.

Operation

Operating Modes

After mounting and connecting your Inverter according to the instructions in this manual, use the illuminated ON/OFF switch to choose the Inverter's operating mode.

ON: When you set the switch to the ON position, the Inverter provides AC power to connected equipment by converting DC power from your vehicle's battery.

OFF: Set the switch to the OFF position to shut down the Inverter completely, preventing it from drawing power from your vehicle's battery. Also set the switch to the OFF position to reset the Inverter if it has shut down due to low battery or overload.

Resetting the Inverter

The inverter may shut down and cease supplying AC power under certain conditions in order to protect itself, the battery and connected equipment. Follow these instructions to restore normal operation:

• Low Battery Alarm Reset: If the Inverter has shut down due to low battery, (1) set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, (2) allow the Inverter to cool, (3) start the vehicle's engine to recharge the battery, (4) allow the battery to recharge completely and (5) set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

• Overload Alarm Reset: If the Inverter has shut down due to overload, (1) set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, (2) allow the Inverter to cool, (3) remove the equipment that caused the overload, (4) confirm that any equipment now connected does not exceed the rated wattage of the Inverter and (5) set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

Battery Selection

54 DC Amps × 5 Hrs. Runtime

= 270 Amp-Hours

Match Battery Amp-Hour Capacity to Your Application

Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to power your application. Even though Tripp Lite Inverters 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.

• STEP 1) Determine Total Wattage Required

Add the wattage ratings of all equipment you will connect to your Inverter. 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 will operate at higher efficiencies at about 75% - 80% of nameplate rating.

• STEP 2) Determine DC Battery Amps Required

Divide the total wattage required (from Step 1, above) by the battery voltage to determine the DC amps required and multiply by 1.2 to account for conversion losses.

• 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. 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.

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.

Example

Tools

300W + 220W + 20W = 540W

Drill Orbital Sander Cordless Tool Charger

Appliances

300W + 140W + 100W = 540W

Blender Color TV Laptop Computer

Mounting

WARNING! Mount your Inverter BEFORE DC battery connection. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to personal injury and/or damage to the Inverter and connected systems.

Tripp Lite recommends that you permanently mount your Inverter in the configuration illustrated below. The Inverter features integral mounting brackets on the front and rear of the unit. The user must supply mounting hardware and is responsible for determining if hardware and mounting surface are adequate to support the weight of the unit.

Using the measurements as shown in the diagram install two usersupplied fasteners , leaving the heads slightly raised. Slide the unit over the fasteners to engage the mounting bracket slots . Tighten fasteners. Install two additional fasteners over the remaining mounting bracket.

1.2 x 540 watts ÷ 12V = 54 DC Amps

Vehicular Applications

Your Inverter’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 to the main battery within your vehicle’s electrical system. In many vehicular contexts, the Inverter will be connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries which are isolated from the drive system to prevent possible draining of the main battery.

Battery Connection

• Connect DC Wiring: Though your Inverter is a high-efficiency 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 (maximum 4 AWG or 5 mm) to fit your Inverter’s DC Input terminals. Shorter and heavier gauge cabling reduces DC voltage drop and allows for maximum transfer of current. Your Inverter 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 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 for

Recommended Cable Sizing.

• Connect Ground: Using a 12-18 AWG

(1-2 mm) wire, directly connect the Main Ground Screw to the vehicle’s chassis or earth ground. See the Feature Identification

section to locate the Main Ground Screw. All installations must comply with national and local codes and ordinances.

• Connect Fuse: Tripp Lite recommends that you connect your Inverter’s positive DC Terminal 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’s specifications. See Specifications for fuse recommendations. See diagrams below for proper fuse placement.

Connect your Inverter to your batteries using the following procedures:

WARNING!

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

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

• Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.

Typical Runtimes Before Battery Recharge

Although you can operate your Inverter with your vehicle engine off, best results are usually attained with the engine running. Since the Inverter converts electrical energy (and doesn’t produce it), the Inverter’s performance is relative to the condition of your vehicle’s electrical system (battery, alternator and wiring). If other loads (air conditioner, heater, lights, etc.) are also using power, you may get less runtime.

NOTE: You can maximize output power by following one or more of these steps: (1) connect multiple batteries to the Inverter; (2) keep batteries fully charged by running the vehicle's engine often; (3) install the Inverter as close to the batteries as possible; (4) connect the heaviest gauge cable possible to the Inverter's DC terminals; (5) use the Inverter in a vehicle with a heavy-duty alternator; (6) run the vehicle's engine at higher RPMs.

Battery Wiring Recommendations

For maximum efficiency, keep battery wires as short as possible. For very short runs, 6 AWG (4 mm) wiring may be adequate; for longer runs 4 AWG (5 mm) wiring is recommended. Acceptable output power is directly dependent on wire length: the shorter the wiring, the better the performance.

¡GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES!

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

Advertencias de ubicación

• Instale su inversor (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 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 para una adecuada ventilación. A mayor carga del equipo conectado, la unidad generará más calor. Cualquier compartimiento que contenga al Inversor debe estar adecuadamente ventilado con suficiente flujo de aire del exterior a fin de evitar sobre calentar el Inversor.

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

• No lo instale cerca de materiales inflamables, combustibles o 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 finalmente causará daños al producto que no están cubiertos por la garantía.

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.

• Conecte el Inversor a la batería con los fusibles para CD recomendados. (Vea Conexión de la Batería)

Advertencias Sobre la Conexión a Tierra

• Una operación segura requiere conectar la oreja de tierra principal del Inversor directamente al chasis del automóvil o directamente a tierra física.

Advertencias sobre la conexión de equipos

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

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

Advertencias de operación

• Su inversor 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. 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 está operando. Puede producirse un arco peligroso.
