Tripp Lite APSX6048VR Set Configuration DIP Switches, OFF before changing DIP Switch settings

Configuration

Set Configuration DIP Switches

Using a small tool, set the Configuration DIP Switches (located on the front panel of your unit, see diagram) to optimize Inverter/Charger operation depending on your application. Warning: Make sure the unit is turned

OFF before changing DIP Switch settings.

1/2 Cycle Transfer Time	Up
		1 2 3 4 Slower
1 Cycle Transfer Time	Down (factory setting)

Note: The Inverter/Charger’s default transfer time setting is 1 cycle, which provides optimal protection for standard loads in areas with frequent outages. If you will use the Inverter/Charger to support computers or other sensitive electronic equipment loads, set the transfer time to ½ cycle (switch #2 UP) to ensure uninterrupted operation when the Inverter/Charger transfers to battery power.

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.

6Select Equalize Battery Charge - OPTIONAL

Switch this DIP switch to the down position for 3 seconds 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) postition for 3 seconds.

•Move to “Reset” (UP) postition and leave it there. This is the factory default setting.

CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #6 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.

7 8 Select AC Input Current Sharing—OPTIONAL (APSX3024SW model only; APSX6048VR­ model operates in "Most Limiting" mode only)

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 7 and 8, 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” (#7 & #8 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" (#7 Up & #8 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.

"Least Limiting" (#7 Down & #8 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" (#7 & #8 Down): No charger-limiting occurs at	5	6	7	8
any load size.
