Operation
Switch Modes
After configuring, mounting and connecting your Inverter/Charger,
you are able to operate it by switching between the following oper-
ating 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 APSRM2, sold separately or included with select
models) 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 con-
nected 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.
OFF: Switch to this mode to shut down the
Inverter/Charger completely, preventing the inverter
from drawing power from the batteries, and prevent-
ing utility AC from passing through to connected
equipment or charging the batteries. 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 suf-
ficiently cool (applicable to your situation). Switch to “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
retry. Use an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model
APSRM2, sold separately or included with select models) to reset
unit due to overload and overtemperature.
Indicator Lights
Your Inverter/Charger (as well as an optional Tripp Lite Remote
Control Module, sold separately or included with select models) 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 the charge condition of your batteries,
as well as ascertain operating details and fault conditions.
LINE Green Indicator: If the operating mode
switch is set to “AUTO/REMOTE”, this light will
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY when your con-
nected 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 Indicator: This light will
ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY whenever 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 Indicator: This red light will ILLUMI-
NATE 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 over-
load 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 sup-
plying the load.
BATTERY Indicator Lights: These three lights will illuminate in
several sequences to show the approximate charge level of your con-
nected battery bank and alert you to two fault conditions:
Approximate Battery Charge Level*
Battery Lights Battery Capacity
Illuminated (Charging/Discharging)
Green 91%–Full
Green & Yellow 81%–90%
Yellow 61%–80%
Yellow & Red 41%–60%
Red 21%–40%
All three lights off 1%–20%
Flashing red 0% (Inverter
shutdown)
* Charge levels listed are approximate. Actual conditions vary
depending on battery condition and load.
Fault Condition
Battery Lights Fault
Illuminated Condition
All three lights Excessive discharge
flash slowly* (Inverter shutdown)
All three lights Overcharge (Charger
flash quickly** shutdown)
*Approximately ½ second on, ½ second off. See Troubleshooting section. ** Approximately ¼
second on, ¼ second off. May also indicate a battery charger fault exists. See Troubleshooting
section.
Resetting Your Inverter/Charger to
Restore AC Power
Your Inverter/Charger may cease supplying AC power or DC charg-
ing power in order to protect itself from overload or to protect your
electrical system. To restore normal functioning:
Overload Reset: Switch operating mode switch to “OFF” and
remove some of the connected electrical load (ie: turn off some of
the AC devices drawing power which may have caused the overload
of the unit). Wait one minute, then switch operating mode switch
back to either “AUTO/REMOTE” or “CHARGE ONLY.”
Output Circuit Breaker Reset: Alternatively, check output circuit
breaker(s) on the unit's front panel. If tripped, remove some of the elec-
trical load, then wait one minute to allow components to cool before
resetting the circuit breaker. See Troubleshooting for other possible
reasons AC output may be absent.
