Feature Identification Identify the premium features on your specific model and quickly locate instructions on how to maximize their use. 1 Configuration DIP Switches: optimize Inverter/Charger operation depending on your application. See Configuration section for setting instructions. 2 Operating Mode Switch: controls Inverter/Charger operation. The "AUTO/REMOTE" setting ensures your equipment receives constant, uninterrupted AC power. It also enables the Inverter/Charger to be remotely monitored and controlled with an optional remote module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately). The "CHARGE ONLY" setting allows your batteries to return to full charge faster by turning the inverter off which halts battery discharging. Setting the Operating Mode Switch to the "DC OFF" (center) position will de-energize the unit and connect "AC OUT" to "AC IN." See Operation section for setting instructions. 3 "LINE", "INVERT", "LOAD" LEDs: intuitive "traffic light" signals show whether the Inverter/Charger is operating from AC line power or DC battery power. It also warns you if the connected equipment load is too high. See Operation section for instructions on reading the indicator lights. 4 "BATT VOLTAGE" LEDs: these three lights will turn on in several sequences to show approximate battery level. See Operation section for instructions on reading the indicator lights. 5 DC Power Terminals: connect to your battery terminals. See Battery Connection section for instructions. 6 Hardwire AC Input/Output Terminals: securely connect the Inverter/Charger to vehicle or facility electrical system input and output. See AC Input/Output Connection section for instructions. 7 Resettable Circuit Breakers: protect your Inverter/Charger against damage due to overload or charger failure. See Operation section for resetting instructions. 8 Remote Control Module Connector: allows remote monitoring and control with an optional module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately). See remote module owner's manual for connection instructions. 9 Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Dial: conserves battery power by setting the low-load level at which the Inverter/ Charger's inverter automatically shuts off. See Configuration section for setting instructions. 10 Multi-Speed Cooling Fan: quiet, efficient fan prolongs equipment service life. 11 Hardwire AC Input/Output Cover Plate 12 Battery Temperature Sensing Connector (side mounted, not shown): prolongs battery life by adjusting charge based on battery temperature. Use with included cable.
