Operation
Switch Modes
After configuring, mounting and connecting your Inverter/Charger, you
are able to operate it by switching between the following operating
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 APSRM4, sold separately) 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 connected
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.
"DC OFF": Switch to this mode to prevent the inverter
from drawing power from 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 sufficiently cool (applicable to
your situation). Switch to "DC 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 APSRM4, sold
separately) to reset unit due to overload and overtemperature.
CAUTION: The unit will always pass AC power through to
connected equipment if plugged into a live AC outlet, regardless
of the position of the Operating Mode Switch.

Indicator Lights

Your Inverter/Charger 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 a wide variety
of operating details.
"LINE Green LED": If the operating mode switch is
set to "AUTO/REMOTE", this light will ILLUMINATE
CONTINUOUSLY when your connected 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.
Indicator Lights
"INV" (Inverting) Yellow LED: 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.
"LOAD" Red LED: This red light will ILLUMINATE
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 to "DC OFF"; remove the
overload 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 supplying
the load.
"BATT VOLTAGE" LEDs: If the operating mode switch is in the "AUTO/
REMOTE" or "CHARGE ONLY" position, the LEDs indicate the
approximate charge level and voltage of your connected battery bank
and alert you to several fault conditions. See Chart for charge and
voltage levels.
