Tripp Lite RV1512UL owner manual Specifications, System Overview, Output, Input

RV1512UL serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated battery charger

Supports 120V AC output from a 120V AC line power source or 12V DC battery source

16.6 millisecond automatic transfer between line and battery power supports UPS protection during blackouts and voltage fluctuations for equipment compatible with a one cycle transfer time

1500 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode, 1500 watts continuous AC output in AC mode

Double Boost inverter output supports momentary startup loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to 10 seconds OverPower inverter output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for 1-60 minutes under ideal battery and temperature conditions. (For best results, utilize OverPower usage for as short of a duration as possible, ensure battery bank and cabling is able to provide full nominal DC voltage under load and allow inverter/charger to fully cool before and after OverPower usage.)

3 stage, selectable 19/75 amp battery charger with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types offers fast, reliable battery recharging

Protected hardwire bolt-down input lugs safely accept heavy gauge input wiring from attached battery bank

Protected hardwire output passes 120V line power or inverter output through to connected equipment

Reliability enhanced large-transformer design tested to UL (USA) and CSA (Canada) standards

Moisture-resistant construction enables vehicular or marine operation in high humidity environments

3 position operating mode switch supports "AUTO" mode to enable automatic transfer between DC and AC modes, CHARGE-ONLY to maintain a full battery charge when AC is present without auto transfer and SYSTEM OFF settings

Set of six front panel LEDs display AC/DC operational modes, overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system fault status Set of 4 configuration dipswitches support wet/gel battery charging profiles, adjustable 135/145V high voltage auto transfer during overvoltages and selectable 75/85/95/105V AC low voltage auto transfer during brownouts

Set of 4 additional configuration dipswitches support 4 levels of charger limiting relative to output load size, a battery equalization program and battery charger low/high settings

Resettable 25A charger AC input breaker and resettable 20A AC output breaker and automatic 2 speed cooling fan protect the inverter from load and temperature related failures

Grounding lug properly connects the inverter/charger system to earth ground or vehicle grounding system

Automatic overload and thermal shutoff safely turns off inverter as excessive loads or overheating conditions develop

Front panel remote control connector enables remote off/on switching (requires APSRM4 switch accessory). Optional APSRM4 accessory also includes user configurable jacks to support inverter shutoff or startup as a vehicle ignition is engaged

Load sensing control dial enables adjustable load threshold required to automatically turn the inverter on and off in DC mode as load conditions change

Includes battery temperature sensor with 20 foot cable to prolong battery life by adjusting the charge level based on battery temperature Automatic Generator Starter jack enables user configuration of automatic generator startup as inverter batteries drop to 11.5VDC and generator shutoff as inverter batteries are recharged to 14.1VDC
