Feature Identification
1
ON-OFF-REMOTE Switch:
• Move the switch to the ON position to have your
Inverter provide connected equipment with AC power
by converting DC power from an attached battery.
• Leave the switch in the OFF position when not using
connected equipment to prevent battery drain.
• Set the 3-position switch to REMOTE to control
your Inverter at a distance with a wired remote
control module (Tripp Lite Model # APSRM4; sold
separately).
2
"LOAD" LEDs: intuitive "traffic light" signals show
the approximate connected equipment load level.
See Operation section for instructions on reading the
indicator lights.
3
"BATTERY" LEDs: these three lights will turn ON in
several sequences to show approximate battery charge
level. See Operation section for instructions on reading
the indicator lights.
4
DC Power Terminals: connect to your battery
terminals. See Battery Connection section for
instructions.
5
Resettable Circuit Breaker: protects your Inverter
against damage due to output overload. If the breaker
trips, remove some of the load on the Inverter to
prevent overload, then wait at least 1 minute to allow
components to cool before resetting the circuit breaker.
