Operating Features

Inverter/charger

Inverter features

The inverter/charger functions as an inverter or as a charger depending upon the operational conditions. When the unit is inverting, it is said to be in invert mode and is referred to as an inverter. When the unit is charging, it is in charge mode and is referred to as a charger.

The unit can only operate in charge mode when external AC power referred to as “shorepower” is connected.

The IP1012 AL offers the following inverter features:

•Ability to run many of the same appliances that you use at home

You can operate TVs, VCRs, satellite receivers, computers, hair dryers, and small power tools for example. You can also run multiple loads up to 1000 watts in total.

•Surge capability

The IP1012 AL will manage loads up to 3000 watts for short periods of time as long as the peak current is less than 36 amps.
