Table 1.1

The TI1200 Series is designed to provide up to 1200 watts (VA) of power.*

For all TI1200 Family inverters the AC output is defined as a pure sine wave with typically less than

2.5% of total harmonic distortion for clean, noise-free, harmonic-free power to supply loads of
corresponding voltage, power and frequency. For the TI1200, the 115VAC 60 Hertz (Hz) is suitable
for nearly any common commercial or consumer load rated for a nominal input of 115VAC. The
TI1202 is designed for a 230VAC output with an AC frequency of 50 Hz for international equipment.
The TI1204 is designed to meet 115VAC 400Hz for aircraft system uses.

The TI1200 Series Static Inverter is FAA certified to Technical Standard Order (TSO) C73 and tested
to rigorous environmental standards and levels according to RTCA/DO-160G. The small size and
light weight in conjunction with its installation flexibility (inside or outside the pressure vessel) make it
an ideal choice for aircraft power needs while reducing the challenges associated with other similar
products.

Highlighted features include short circuit protection, overload capability, low voltage shut-down,
temperature monitoring, a self-resettable over-temperature disable, and a remote on/off function.
The rugged extrusion that houses the unit is designed to help dissipate heat and provide mechanical
strength against vibration or other possibilities of damage. Two independent fans allow for a smaller
unit, quiet operation, and keep the internal components cool extending the life of the unit.

The True Blue Power TI1200 series has proven to be modular and adaptable to meet a variety of
custom applications and modifications. If you have specific functional needs in a power inverter,
inquire with the True Blue Power sales team.

* 6431200-5 version has been current limited to produce 600VA max for specific applications.
