Select AC Input Current Sharing—OPTIONAL
B1 B2
Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or genera-
tor when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the same time
as this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-though utility power.
To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, all Inverter/Chargers are pre-set to automatically limit the input current as described in "Most
Limiting" below. If your unit is equipped with DIP switches B2 and B1, they may be used to select other AC input current sharing settings. Verify
that AC input wiring is rated for the higher current that results when using the other settings.
Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points
"Most Limiting" (B2 & B1 Up): Charger-
limiting takes effect the moment any AC
load is applied; charger output falls gradu-
ally from full output at no AC load passing
through to no output at full load (factory set-
ting).
"Less Limiting" (B2 Up & B1 Down):
Charger-limiting begins when the Inverter/
Charger's load reaches 33% of the Inverter/
Charger's load rating. Charger output falls
gradually from full output at 33% of the
Inverter/Charger's load rating to about 33%
of full output at full load.
Select Equalize Battery Charge—OPTIONAL
B3
This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to
begin the process of equalizing the charge
state of your battery's cells by time-limited
overcharge of all cells. This can extend the
useful life of certain types of batteries; con-
sult with your battery's manufacturer to
determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge
equalization process is automatic; once started, it can only be stopped
by removing the input power.
Set Battery Charging Amps—OPTIONAL
B4
Check the nameplate label for your unit's
high- and low-charging amp options. By
setting on high charging, your batteries
will charge at maximum speed. When set-
ting on low charging, you lengthen the life
of your batteries (especially smaller ones).
Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL
All models feature an 8-conductor telephone style receptacle on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM,
sold separately). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compartment or cabinet out of sight, while operated conveniently from
the remote control module. See instructions packed with the remote control module.

"Least Limiting" (B2 Down & B1 Up):
Charger-limiting begins when the Inverter/
Charger's load reaches 66% of the Inverter/
Charger's load rating. Charger output falls
gradually from full output at 66% of the
Inverter/Charger's load rating to about 66%
of full output at full load.
"No Limiting" (B2 & B1 Down): No
charger-limiting occurs at any load size.
Setting Procedure
• Move to "Equalize" (DOWN) position for three seconds.
Reset
• Move to "Reset" (UP) position and leave it there. This is the
factory default setting.
CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch B3 in the down position after beginning process. Battery
charge equalization should only be performed in strict accordance with the battery manufacturer's
instructions and specifications.

CAUTION: When switching to the High Charge Amp setting, the user must ensure that the
amp-hour capacity of their battery system exceeds the amperage of the High Charge Amp
setting or the batteries may be damaged or degraded.
