Set Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Control—OPTIONAL

In order to save battery power, the unit's inverter automatically shuts off in the absence of any power demand from connected equipment or appliances (the electrical load). When the Inverter/Charger detects a load, it automatically turns its inverter function on. Users may choose the minimum load the Inverter/Charger will detect by adjusting the Battery Charge Conserver Control (see diagram). Using a small tool, turn the control clockwise to lower the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on for smaller loads. When the control is turned fully clockwise, the inverter will operate even when there is no load. Turn the control counterclockwise to increase the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is reached.

NOTE: The factory setting for the control is fully clockwise. However, based on the threshold load to which you’d like the inverter to respond, you should adjust the control counterclockwise to reduce its sensitivity until the inverter is active only when connected equipment or appliances are actually in use.

Connect Remote Control—Optional

The unit features an 8-conductor telephone style jack on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compartment or cabinet out of sight, while operated conveniently from a remote location. See instructions packed with the remote control module.

Connect Battery Temperature Sensing Cable—OPTIONAL (Contact Tripp Lite for optional temperature sensing cable accessory.)

The battery temperature sensing function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge float voltage level based on battery temperature. Connect the sensor cable (the cable has an RJ style connector on one end and a sensor on the other) to the RJ style jack located on the front panel of the Inverter/Charger labeled “RMT BATT TEMP.” With user-supplied electrical or duct tape, affix the sensor to the side of the battery below the electrolyte level. Make sure that nothing, not even tape, comes between the sensor and the side of the battery. To guard against false readings due to ambient temperature, place the sensor between batteries, if possible, and away from sources of extreme heat or cold. If the sensor cable is not used, the Inverter/Charger will charge according to its default value
