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

Inverter/Chargers.

Location Warnings

• Install your Inverter/Charger (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/Charger 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 5 cm clearance at front and back of the Inverter/Charger for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of connected

equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.

• Do not install the Inverter/Charger 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.

• Mount your Inverter/Charger BEFORE DC battery and AC power connection. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to

personal injury and/or damage to the Inverter/Charger and connected systems.

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.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the

failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this

equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• Connect your Inverter/Charger only to a properly grounded AC power source. Do not connect the unit to itself; this will damage the

device and void your warranty.

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

Inverter/Charger.

Operation Warnings

• Your Inverter/Charger 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/Charger as long as the battery supply and/or AC input are connected. During any

service work, the battery supply and AC input connection should therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter/Charger is operating in either inverting or charging mode. Operating Mode

Switch should be in the OFF position. Dangerous arcing may result.

Set Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control—OPTIONAL

In order to save battery power, the unit's inverter automatically shuts off in the absence of any power demand from

connected equipment or appliances (the electrical load). When the Inverter/Charger detects a load, it automatically turns

its inverter function on. Users may choose the minimum load the Inverter/Charger will detect by adjusting the Battery

Charge Conserver Control (see diagram). Using a small tool, turn the control clockwise to lower the minimum load that

will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on for smaller loads. When the control is turned fully clockwise, the inverter

will operate even when there is no load. Turn the control counterclockwise to increase the minimum load that will be

detected, causing the inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is reached.

NOTE: The factory setting for the control is fully clockwise. However, based on the threshold load to which you’d like the inverter to respond, you should adjust the control counterclockwise to reduce

its sensitivity until the inverter is active only when connected equipment or appliances are actually in use.

Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL

The unit features an 8-conductor telephone style receptacle on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite

model APSRM4, sold separately). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compartment or cabinet out of sight, while

operated conveniently from a remote location. See instructions packed with the remote control module.

6

Connect Battery Temperature Sensing Cable—OPTIONAL

The battery temperature sensing function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge float voltage level based on battery temperature.

Connect the sensor cable (the cable has an RJ style connector on one end and a black sensor on the other) to the RJ style jack located on

the front panel of the Inverter/Charger labeled “RMT BATT TEMP.” With user-supplied electrical or duct tape, affix the sensor to the side

of the battery below the electrolyte level. Make sure that nothing, not even tape, comes between the sensor and the side of the battery. To

guard against false readings due to ambient temperature, place the sensor between batteries, if possible, or away from sources of extreme

heat or cold. If the sensor cable is not used, the Inverter/Charger will charge according to its default value (25º C).

Connect Automatic Generator Starter—OPTIONAL

Connect the RJ type modular jack on the front panel labeled “RMT GEN START” to vehicle

generator ON/OFF switching mechanism with user-supplied cable (see Pin Configuration Diagram).

Once attached, the interface will allow the Inverter/Charger to automatically switch a vehicle

generator on when connected battery voltage levels are low ( 46.0 VDC) and switch it off when

battery voltage levels are high ( 56.4 VDC).

* Most of your connected appliances and equipment will perform adequately when your Inverter/Charger’s High AC Input Voltage Point and its Low AC Voltage Input Point is left in the factory setting . However, if the unit 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. By increasing the High AC Voltage Point and/or decreasing the Low AC Voltage Point, you will reduce the number of times your unit switches to battery

due to voltage swings.

Battery Selection

Select Battery Type

Select “Deep Cycle” batteries to enjoy optimum performance from your Inverter/Charger. 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. You must

set the Inverter/Charger’s Battery Type DIP Switch (see Configuration section for more information) to match the type of batteries you connect

or your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time.

Match Battery Amp-Hour Capacity to Your Application

Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter/Charger with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity

to power your application. Even though Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers 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.

Example

• STEP 1) Determine Total Wattage Required

Tools

Add the wattage ratings of all equipment you will connect to your

Drill Orbital Sander Cordless Tool Charger

Inverter/Charger. 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/Charger will operate at higher efficiencies at about 75% - 80% of nameplate rating.

300W + 160W + 20W = 480W

Appliances

Blender Color TV Laptop Computer

300W + 80W + 100W = 480W

• STEP 2) Determine DC Battery Amps Required

Divide the total wattage required (from step 1, above) by the battery voltage

480 watts ÷ 48V = 10 DC Amps

(48V) to determine the DC amps required.

• 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 with utility- or

generator-supplied AC power. Compensate for inefficiency by

10 DC Amps × 5 Hrs. Runtime

multiplying this number by 1.2. This will give you a rough estimate of how

many amp-hours of battery power (from one or several batteries) you

× 1.2 Inefficiency Rating = 60 Amp-Hours

should connect to your Inverter/Charger.

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.

• STEP 4) Estimate Battery Recharge Required, Given Your Application

You must allow your batteries to recharge long enough to replace the

charge lost during inverter operation or else you will eventually run down

60 Amp-Hours ÷ 23 Amps

your batteries. To estimate the minimum amount of time you need to

Inverter/Charger Rating = 2.6 Hours Recharge

recharge your batteries given your application, divide your required battery

amp-hours (from step 3, above) by your Inverter/Charger’s rated charging

amps (23/90).

NOTE: For Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers over 1000 watts used in vehicular applications, Tripp Lite

recommends you use at least two batteries, if possible fed by a heavy-duty alternator anytime the engine

is running. Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers will provide adequate power for ordinary usage within limited

times without the assistance of utility or generator power. However, when operating extremely heavy

electrical loads at their peak in the absence of utility power, you may wish to “assist your batteries” by

running an auxiliary generator or vehicle engine, and doing so at faster than normal idling.

7

Non-Vehicular or Vehicular Applications

Non-vehicular applications include stationary configurations as well as vehicular configurations that are not integrated into a vehicle’s

electrical system. In a parallel connection, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the voltage of your battery or

batteries. Your 48V DC Inverter/Charger requires 48V DC from your battery system.

In a series connection, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the number of batteries multiplied by their voltage.

Your 48V DC Inverter/Charger requires either four 12V batteries connected in series (48 = 4 × 12) or eight 6V batteries

connected in series (48 = 8 × 6).

In vehicular applications, your Inverter/Charger’s Nominal DC Input Voltage must match the voltage of your battery or batteries—

48 Volts. Although it is possible to connect your Inverter/Charger to the main battery within your vehicle’s electrical system, in the normal

vehicular context, the Inverter/Charger is connected to one or more dedicated auxiliary (house) batteries which are isolated from the drive

system to prevent possible draining of the main battery.

AC Input/Output Connection

To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their

total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger model. When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do

not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at start-up (“peak” wattage) than

required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps, start and stop

intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak” wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.
