2 introduction congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich integrated inverter and battery charger on the market. Your aps provides your equipment with utility-supplied ac power when it is available, and during blackouts, overvoltages and brownouts, your aps automatically switc...
3-stage battery charger your aps recharges your battery faster than conventional chargers because its three-stage charger profile (bulk, absorption and float) are optimized, regardless of the type of battery you use (wet or gel).* in addition, the advanced charging system protects against over-charg...
4 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 aps systems. Aps location warnings • install your aps indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, ...
5 configuration dip switch group a (all models) battery type / voltage point using a small tool, set the 4 “battery type / voltage point” configuration dip switches, group a (located on the front panel of your aps; see diagram 1, p. 36) to select battery type and set the voltage range outside of whi...

Dip switch #3, group b should be kept in the “up” positio...
7 • equalize battery charge (dip switch #3, group b) this dip switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equalizing the internal resistance of your battery’s cells. This can extend the useful life of certain types of batteries; consult with your battery's manufacturer to determine if your...
8 mounting (optional) (see diagram 2, p. 36) battery selection select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your aps with proper dc voltage and an adequate amp hour capacity.* select ‘deep-cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum performance from your aps. Batteries of either wet-cell (vented)...
9 battery connection 1. Connect your aps’s positive dc terminal directly to a fuse. Tripp lite recommends that you install a recognized component fuse block and fuse within 18 inches of the battery. The fuse's rating must equal or exceed the minimum dc fuse rating listed in your aps model’s specific...
10 aps systems must be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system. For most installations, the negative battery conductor must be bonded to the grounding system at one (and only one) point in the system. All installations must comply with national and local codes and ordinances. When figuring ...
11 ac connection continued simply plug your equipment into the unit’s ac receptacles. If adapters must be used, choose adapters that provide a connection to ground. • switch to “auto/remote” when you are using connected equipment. Advantage: uninterruptible power supply. Provides battery backup powe...
12 4. “line” (all models): this green light will turn continuously on whenever connected equipment is receiving utility-supplied ac power and your aps is set to “auto/remote”, meaning that it will provide battery backup if utility power fails. It will flash intermittently when connected equipment is...
13 9. Dc input terminals (all models): the terminals’ lug screws secure the wires leading from your external battery or battery system. Your battery or battery system must provide your aps with proper dc voltage and your equipment with an adequate amp hour capacity. See battery selection section, pg...
14 limited warranty maintenance & service your aps model requires no maintenance but should be kept dry at all times. Periodically check all cable connections both at the unit and at the battery. Clean and tighten connections as necessary. If returning your aps to tripp lite, please pack the aps car...
