Group B DIP Switches (Select Models Only)

B1 B2 Select AC Input Current Sharing—OPTIONAL

Your Inverter/Charger features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of AC power from your utility source or genera- tor 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 B2 and B1, 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” (B2 & B1 Up): Charger- limiting takes effect the moment any AC load is applied; charger output falls gradu- ally from full output at no AC load passing through to no output at full load (factory set- ting).

"Less Limiting" (B2 Up & B1 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" (B2 Down & B1 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" (B2 & B1 Down): No charger-limiting occurs at any load size.

Connect Remote Control—OPTIONAL

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