Operation
Switch Modes
After configuring, mounting and connecting your Inverter/Charger,
you are able to operate it by switching between the following
operating modes as appropriate to your situation:
AUTO/REMOTE: Switch to this mode when you
need constant, uninterrupted AC power for connected
appliances and equipment. The Inverter/Charger will
continue to supply AC power to connected equipment
and to charge your connected batteries while utility-
or generator-supplied AC power is present. Since the
inverter is ON (but in Standby) in this mode, it will automatically
switch to your battery system to supply AC power to connected
equipment in the absence of a utility/generator source or in over/
under voltage situations. "AUTO/REMOTE" also enables an optional
remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately)
to function when connected to the unit.
CHARGE ONLY: Switch to this mode when you
are not using connected appliances and equipment
in order to conserve battery power by disabling the
inverter. The Inverter/Charger will continue to supply
AC power to connected equipment and charge
connected batteries while utility- or generator-
supplied AC power is present. However, since the inverter is OFF in
this mode, it WILL NOT supply AC power to connected equipment
in the absence of a utility/generator source or in over/under voltage
situations.
DC OFF: Switch to this mode to shut down the
Inverter/Charger, preventing the inverter from
drawing power from the batteries, and preventing
utility AC from charging the batteries. The "DC
OFF" position connects AC OUT to AC IN, providing
failsafe pass-through power. Use this switch to
automatically reset the unit if it shuts down due to overload or
overheating. First remove the excessive load or allow the unit to
sufficiently cool (applicable to your situation). Switch to "DC OFF",
then back to "AUTO/REMOTE" or "CHARGE ONLY" as desired.
If unit fails to reset, remove more load or allow unit to cool further
and try again. Use an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite
Model APSRM4, sold separately) to reset unit after shutdown due to
due to overload or overheating.
Caution: Your Inverter/Charger has a failsafe AC
pass-through feature. The AC output will be live (if
AC input is available) even though the operating
mode switch is set to DC OFF.
Indicator Lights
Your Inverter/Charger (as well as an optional Tripp
Lite Remote Control Module, sold separately) is
equipped with a simple, intuitive, user-friendly set of
indicator lights. These easily-remembered "traffic
light" signals will allow you, shortly after first use, to
tell at a glance a wide variety of operating details.
"LINE Green LED": If the operating mode switch is set to "AUTO/
REMOTE", this light will ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY when
your connected equipment is receiving continuous AC power
supplied from a utility/generator source.
If the operating mode switch is set to "CHARGE ONLY", this light
will BLINK to alert you that the unit's inverter is OFF and will NOT
supply AC power in the absence of a utility/generator source or in
over/under voltage situations.
"INV" (Inverting) Yellow LED: This light will
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY
connected equipment is receiving battery-supplied,
inverted AC power (in the absence of a utility/
generator source or in over/under voltage situations).
This light will be off when AC power is supplying
the load. This light will BLINK to alert you if the load is less than
the Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) setting.
"LOAD" Red LED: ThisredlightwillILLUMINATE
CONTINUOUSLY whenever the inverter is
functioning and the power demanded by connected
appliances and equipment exceeds 100% of load
capacity. The light will BLINK to alert you when the
inverter shuts down due to a severe overload or
overheating. If this happens, turn the operating mode switch "OFF";
remove the overload and let the unit cool. You may then turn the
operating mode switch to either "AUTO/REMOTE" or "CHARGE
ONLY" after it has adequately cooled. This light will be off when
AC power is supplying the load.
"BATT VOLTAGE" LEDs: If the operating mode switch is in the
"AUTO/REMOTE" or "Charge Only" position, the LEDs indicate
the approximate charge level and voltage of your connected battery
bank and alert you to several fault conditions. See Chart for charge
and voltage levels.
"CUT/BOOST" (VR models only): These lights
will turn ON whenever your APS is automatically
correcting high (CUT) or low (BOOST) AC line
voltage. This is a normal, automatic operation of
your APS that does not drain battery power, and no
action is required on your part.
