Owner’s Manual

Quiet Mobile Power

Congratulations! You've purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed as an alternative energy source for residential,

commercial or recreational vehicle applications. Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators—with no fumes, fuel or

noise to deal with! You get AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it: utility power disruptions, rolling down the highway, dry camping

in majestic back country or parked overnight at a money-saving non-electric site. Inverter/Chargers provide your equipment with utility- or

generator-supplied AC electricity (filtered through premium ISOBAR® surge protection) whenever available. In addition, your Inverter/Charger

automatically recharges your connected battery bank. Whenever blackouts, brownouts or high voltages occur, your Inverter/Charger immedi-

ately and automatically switches to battery power.
