Select Battery Charger-Limiting Points—OPTIONAL (Not on 612 Models)

“Most Limiting” (#B2 & #B1 Up): Charger-limiting takes effect the moment any 120V AC load is applied; charger out- put falls gradually from full output at no 120V load passing through to no output at full load.

All Models, except RV612UL, RV612ULH & RV1012UL*

“Least Limiting” (#B2 Down & #B1 Up, factory setting for all models except

RV1012UL): 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 40% of full output at full load.

“No Limiting” (#B2 & #B1 Down): No

“Less Limiting” (#B2 Up & #B1 Down, factory setting for RV1012UL models): 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 40% of full output at full load.

charger-limiting occurs at any load size.

*NOTE! RV612UL & RV612ULH models do not include these DIP Switches. There are only two limiting points available for RV1012UL models—"Most Limiting" and "Less Limiting"—which are determined solely by the position of the B1 DIP Switch (either up or down). The B2 DIP Switch on these models has no affect.

Set Battery Charge Conserver (Load Sense) Dial—OPTIONAL (Not on 612 models)

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 unit 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 Dial (see diagram). Using a small tool, turn the dial clockwise to lower the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on for smaller loads. When the dial is turned fully clockwise, the inverter will operate even when there is no load. Turn the dial counter- clockwise 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 dial is fully clockwise. However, based on the threshold load to which you’d like the inverter to respond, you should adjust the dial counterclockwise to reduce its sensi- tivity until the inverter is active only when connected equipment or appliances are actually in use.

Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL (All models)

All models feature an 8-conductor telephone style receptacle on the front panel for use with an optional remote control module (Tripp Lite model APSRM2, sold separately or included with select models). The remote module allows the Inverter/Charger to be mounted in a compartment or cabinet out of sight, while operated conveniently from within the living area or control panel of your RV. See instructions packed with the remote control module.

Connect Battery Temperature Sensing Cable—OPTIONAL (not on 612 models)

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, included with select models, has an RJ style connector on one end and a black sensor on the other) to the RJ style jack located on the side of the Inverter/Charger labeled “Remote Temp. Sense.” Affix the sensor to the side of your battery below the electrolyte level. To guard against false readings due to ambient temperature, place the sensor between batteries, if possible, or away from sources of extreme heat or cold. If the sensor cable is not used, the Inverter/Charger will charge according to its default 25º C values.

Utilize Automatic Generator Starter Capability—OPTIONAL (not on 612 models)

All models except 612 models include an RJ type modular jack on the side panel labeled “Generator Start”. Attach to vehicle generator ON/OFF switching mechanism with user-supplied cable (see Pin Configuration Diagram). Once attached, the interface will allow the Inverter/Charger to automatically switch a vehicle generator on when connected bat- tery voltage levels are low (11.6 VDC) and switch it off when battery voltage levels are high (14.1 VDC).
