Introduction

Congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich integrated

inverter/charger on the market. Your APS powers connected equipment, switching

manually or automatically from utility power to power inverted from an external battery or

batteries. In addition to reliable APS performance, your model provides:

High Efficiency Output

Your APS’s advanced circuitry produces a more efficient DC-to-AC conversion, minimizing

energy loss.This allows you to run connected equipment longer between battery charges.

The APS will maintain this highly-efficient output even as the battery charge decreases.

Automatic Overload Protection

If you overload your APS, it will automatically protect itself and your valuable batteries

from damage.

Multi-Function Indicator Lights

Several sets of multi-function indicator lights keep you constantly informed of battery

charge levels, fault conditions and APS operation.

Multi-Operation Switches

An array of user-configurable switches gives you convenient options when operating your

APS.You can select the voltage level at which your APS’s inverter will turn on to maximize

equipment protection and minimize battery drain; set your APS for maximum charging

efficiency with your battery type; even set up your APS for remote control operation.

3-Stage Battery Charger

Your APS recharges your battery faster than

conventional chargers because its three-stage

charger profile (Bulk,Absorption and Float) is

optimized for the type of battery you use

(Wet or Gel).* In addition, the advanced

charging system protects against over-charge

and over-discharge to ensure a longer service

life from your battery.

* The Absorption and Float levels vary according to

battery type, which can be set to either “Wet” or

“Gel”cell.

Frequency-Controlled

Inverter Output

Your APS has frequency-controlled inverter

output, which allows devices dependent on

AC line frequency (such as computers,VCRs,

CD players, tape recorders, clocks and

turntables) to operate properly.

Circuit Board Protection

A silicone conformal coating safeguards the

circuit boards against moisture.

APS Location Warnings

• Install your APS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.

• Your APS is NOT waterproof. Contact with water can cause the unit to short circuit

and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse your APS.

Mount it in the driest location available.

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the APS for proper ventilation.The heavier

the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the APS.

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

Battery Connection Warnings

• Your APS will not operate with or without utility power until batteries are connected.

• Multiple battery systems must be made up of batteries of the same voltage, age, amp

hour capacity and type.

• Keep battery location well ventilated. Explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near

batteries if they are not kept well ventilated.

• 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 injury to property or person could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite APS Systems in life support applications where a malfunction

or failure of a Tripp Lite APS System could cause failure or significantly alter the

performance of a life support device.

• Do not alter the cord of your APS in a way that would eliminate its connection to

ground. Do not use adapters that would eliminate the APS’s connection to ground.

Connect the input cord of your APS to a properly grounded, 3-wire, 120V 60 Hz

power receptacle. Do not plug your APS into itself; this may damage the unit and will

void your warranty.

• Do not connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS to the output of the APS.

Operation Warnings

• Your APS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your APS for any rea-

son.There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply and/or

AC input are connected. During any service work, the battery supply and AC input

cord should therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the APS is operating from the battery

supply. Dangerous arcing may result.

Configuration

Using a small tool, set the four “Battery Type / Voltage Point” Configuration DIP Switches

(located on the front panel of your APS); see Diagram 4, p. 28.

• Select Battery Type

(DIP Switch #1)

CAUTION:The Battery Type DIP Switch setting must match the type of batteries you connect or your batteries may

be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time. See “Battery Selection,” page 6 for more information.

Most loads will perform adequately when your APS’s High AC

Voltage Point DIP Switch #2 is set to 135V and its Low AC Voltage

Point DIP Switches #3 and #4 are set to 95V. However, if your APS

frequently switches to battery power due to momentary high/low

line voltage swings that would have little effect on equipment

operation, you may wish to adjust these settings. Your APS will

switch to battery due to voltage swings the least if the High AC

Voltage Switch to Battery Point is on its highest setting and the

Low AC Voltage Switch to Battery Point is on its lowest setting.

Battery Selection

Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your APS with proper DC voltage

and an adequate amp hour capacity.* Select ‘Deep-Cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum

performance from your APS. Batteries of either Wet-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell/Absorbed Glass

Mat (sealed) construction are ideal. 6 Volt “golf-cart,” Marine Deep-Cycle or 8D Deep-Cycle

batteries are also acceptable.**

* Even though APS models are high-efficiency converters of DC voltage, their rated output capacities are limited

by the amp-hour size of the external batteries. ** You must set Configuration DIP Switch #1, Group A (Battery

Type) to match the type of batteries you connect or your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an

extended period of time. See “Configuration,” page 5 for more information.)

1. Add the Wattage Ratings of your connected equipment to determine the Total Wattage

Required.*

2. Divide the Total Wattage Required (from Step 1) by the battery voltage to determine the

DC Amperes Required.

3. Multiply the DC Amperes Required (from Step 2) by the number of hours you estimate

will pass without AC power before your battery can be recharged to determine a Battery

Amp-Hours Required Rough Estimate.**

4. Compensate for inefficiency by multiplying your Battery Amp-Hour Required Rough

Estimate (from Step 3) by 1.2 to determine how many amp-hours of battery backup (from

one or several batteries) you should connect to your APS. Note that the Amp-Hour ratings

of batteries are usually given for a 20 hour discharge rate.Actual Amp-Hour capacities are

less when batteries are discharged at faster rates: batteries discharged in 55 minutes

provide only about 50% of their listed Amp-Hour ratings, while batteries discharged in 9

minutes provide as little as 30% of their Amp-Hour ratings.

* The wattage rating is usually stated in the equipment’s manuals or on their nameplates. If your equipment is rated in

amperes, convert to watts by multiplying the ampere rating by your nominal AC line voltage (120). ** Your charging

amps multiplied by the charging hours must exceed the discharge amp-hours taken from the batteries between charges or

you will eventually run down your battery bank.

1. Make sure that your APS batteries have proper overcurrent protection.

NEC article 551 requires that you install a recognized UL component fuse block and UL

listed fuse within 18 inches of the battery. The fuse’s rating must equal or exceed the

Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your APS model’s specifications on page 13.

2. Choose a battery configuration appropriate to your batteries.

• Single Battery Connection: Refer to Diagram 1, page 27.When using a single battery,

its voltage must be equal to the voltage of your APS's Inverter Nominal Input Voltage

(see specs).

• Parallel Battery Connection: Refer to Diagram 2, page 27. When using multiple

batteries in parallel, each battery's voltage must be equal to the voltage of your APS’s

Inverter Nominal Input Voltage (see specs).

• Series Battery Connection: Refer to Diagram 3, page 27. When using multiple

batteries in series, all batteries must be equal in voltage and amp hour capacity, and

the sum of their voltages must be equal to the voltage of your APS's Inverter Nominal

Input Voltage (see specs).

3. Securely fasten the APS’s DC connector to the battery connection cables.

For best results, use 1/0 gauge cable for battery connection. Battery connection cable

lengths should be as short as possible,and never greater than 20 feet.Using longer cables,

or cables of too small a gauge, could result in dangerous overheating or fire.*

You must tighten your battery terminals to approximately 4 Newton-meters (36 Inch

Pounds) of torque to create an efficient connection and prevent excessive heating.

Insufficiently tightening terminals could void your PowerVerter's warranty.

* APS models are capable of delivering a much higher wattage output for brief periods of time.Wiring should be

configured to handle this brief high-current draw.Though your APS is a high-efficiency converter of DC voltage,

its rated output capacity is limited by the length and gauge of the wires running from the battery to the APS.

APS systems must be connected to a grounded,permanent wiring system.For most installations,

the negative battery conductor must be bonded to the grounding system at one (and only one)

point in the system.All installations must comply with national and local codes and ordinances.

When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous”

power ratings with “peak” power ratings. Electric motors require more power to turn on

(“peak power”) than they require to run continuously.“Peak”power ratings are usually 2 to

5 times “continuous” ratings. Most electric motors require “peak power” only when they are

first turned on.The electric motors in equipment such as refrigerators and sump pumps,

however, constantly turn on and off according to demand. These motors require “peak

power”at multiple, unpredictable times during their operation.

You must use 15A branch circuit protection (user-supplied) on the input circuit.

Plug the line cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60 Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit

you connect your APS to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse.

Simply plug your equipment into the unit’s AC receptacles.

••Switch to “AUTO/REMOTE” when you are using your connected equipment.ADVAN-

TAGE:APS will automatically switch from providing connected equipment with utility

power to providing connected equipment with power inverted from external

batteries when utility power is unavailable.

Note: when the switch is in the "AUTO/REMOTE" position, you can remotely monitor and control your APS by

connecting a Tripp Lite Remote Control Module (sold separately) to the APS's RJ45 Remote Module Connector.

••Switch to “CHARGE ONLY” when you are not using your connected equipment.

(WARNING! APS will not provide battery backup!) ADVANTAGES:A) Continues to

charge battery when power is present, and B) Turns OFF the APS’s inverter,

preventing battery drain during blackouts or brownouts.

• Switch to “OFF” to completely turn off the APS and connected equipment or to reset

the APS after it has shut down due to overload or overheating.

AC Connection

Before AC connection, match the power requirements of your

equipment with the power output of your APS to avoid overload.
