Owner’s Manual

Reliable Emergency Backup Power

Congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed as an alternative energy source during utility

power failures. Tripp Lite APS Inverter/Chargers keep your equipment constantly up and productive through all utility power problems (blackouts,

brownouts and high voltages) by inverting DC power from user-supplied batteries into AC power. Built-in surge suppression provides an additional

level of equipment protection. When utility power is present, APS Inverter/Chargers automatically pass through power to your equipment while

simultaneously recharging your connected battery bank. APS Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators during emergency

backup applications—with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with! You get AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it.
