Configuration
Group B DIP Switches (Select Models Only)
Select AC Input Current Sharing—OPTIONAL
B1 B2
Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or generator
when charging at its maximum rate. If your unit is supplying its full AC power rating to its connected heavy electrical loads at the same time as
this high charging occurs, the AC input circuit breaker could trip, resulting in the complete shut off of pass-though utility power.
To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, all Inverter/Chargers are pre-set to automatically limit the input current as described in "Most
Limiting" below. If your unit is equipped with DIP switches B2 and B1, they may be used to select other AC input current sharing settings. Verify
that AC input wiring is rated for the higher current that results when using the other settings.
Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points
"Most Limiting" (B2 & B1 Up): Charger-
limiting takes effect the moment any AC
load is applied; charger output falls gradually
from full output at no AC load passing
through to no output at full load (factory
setting).
"Less Limiting" (B2 Up & B1 Down):
Charger-limiting begins when the Inverter/
Charger's load reaches 33% of the Inverter/
Charger's load rating. Charger output falls
gradually from full output at 33% of the
Inverter/Charger's load rating to about 33%
of full output at full load.
Select Equalize Battery Charge—OPTIONAL
B3
This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equalizing the charge state of your battery's cells by
time-limited overcharge of all cells. This can extend the useful life of certain types of batteries; consult with your
battery's manufacturer to determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The charge equalization process
is automatic; once started, it can only be stopped by removing the input power.
Setting Procedure
• Move to "Equalize" (DOWN) position for three seconds.
• Move to "Reset" (UP) position and leave it there. This is the factory default setting.
CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch B3 in the down position after beginning process. Battery charge equalization should only be performed in strict
accordance with the battery manufacturer's instructions and specifications.

Set Battery Charging Amps—OPTIONAL
B4
Check the nameplate label for your unit's high- and low-charging amp options. By setting on high charging, your
batteries will charge at maximum speed. When setting on low charging, you lengthen the life of your batteries
(especially smaller ones).

Low Charge Amps
High Charge Amps
CAUTION: When switching to the High Charge Amp setting, the user must ensure that the amp-hour capacity of their battery system exceeds the
amperage of the High Charge Amp setting or the batteries may be damaged or degraded.
Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL
All models feature an 8-conductor telephone style receptacle on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite
model APSRM, sold separately). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compartment or cabinet out of sight, while
operated conveniently from the remote control module. See instructions packed with the remote control module.

"Least Limiting" (B2 Down & B1 Up):
Charger-limiting begins when the Inverter/
Charger's load reaches 66% of the Inverter/
Charger's load rating. Charger output falls
gradually from full output at 66% of the
Inverter/Charger's load rating to about 66%
of full output at full load.
"No Limiting" (B2 & B1 Down): No charger-
limiting occurs at any load size.
