Set Operating Mode Switch

•Switch to “AUTO/REMOTE” when you are using connected equipment. ADVANTAGE: Uninterruptible power supply. Provides battery backup power during blackouts or brownouts.

Note: When the switch is in the “AUTO/REMOTE” position, you can operate a user-supplied switch to transfer between battery-backup and charge-only modes. (See Remote Connector manual for more information.)

•Switch to “CHARGE ONLY” when you are not using connected equipment. (WARNING! APS will not provide battery backup!) ADVANTAGES: A) Continues to charge battery when power is present, and B) Turns OFF the APS’s inverter, preventing battery drain during blackouts or brownouts.

•Switch to “OFF” to completely turn off the APS and connected equipment or to reset the APS after it has shut down due to overload or overheating.

Switches, Indicator Lights & Other Features

(See Diagrams 9a and 9b, p. 39-40, to locate the following switches, indicator lights and other features.)

Switches

1.Operating Mode Switch (All models): This switch selects the APS operating mode (either “AUTO/REMOTE”, “OFF” or “CHARGE ONLY”). See “Set Operating Mode Switch”, pg. 11 to select the optimum setting for this switch.

2.“CONFIGURATION SWITCHES”—DIP Switch Group A (All models): These four switches must be set for the type of battery your APS will be connected to and the voltage points at which your APS will switch to battery power. See “Configuration”, pg. 5 to select the optimum settings for these switches.

3.“CONFIGURATION SWITCHES”—DIP Switch Group B (Select models only): These DIP Switches allow you to equalize the internal resistance of your battery’s cells and set the percentage of your model's maximum load at which the APS will limit battery charging. See “Configuration”, pg. 6 to select the optimum settings for these switches.

Alternative Power Source specifications

Tripp Lite, a leader in power protection, offers a range of alternative power sources designed to meet the diverse needs of users in both residential and commercial settings. Their innovative solutions focus on reliability, performance, and versatility, making Tripp Lite a trusted name for those seeking uninterrupted power supply.

One of the standout products in their lineup is the Tripp Lite UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system, which ensures that critical equipment remains powered during outages. These UPS units typically feature advanced technologies such as Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which corrects minor power fluctuations without switching to battery. This feature helps extend battery life and ensure equipment receives a stable power supply.

Tripp Lite’s UPS models come equipped with a variety of output options, including multiple outlets for connecting devices. Many units also feature USB ports for charging mobile devices or connecting to computers for power management through Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert software. This software provides real-time monitoring and alerts, allowing users to track battery performance and receive notifications about power events.

In addition to UPS systems, Tripp Lite offers portable power stations as alternative energy solutions. These stations are particularly useful for outdoor enthusiasts, contractors, or anyone needing temporary power away from the grid. With features such as pure sine wave output, users can run sensitive electronics without the risk of damage. The battery technology used in these power stations often includes lithium-ion for lightweight portability and enhanced efficiency, ensuring a reliable power supply on the go.

Tripp Lite’s commitment to safety is evident in their products, which include built-in surge protection to guard devices against voltage spikes and electrical surges. Many models are designed with a user-friendly interface, featuring clear display screens that show battery status, load levels, and remaining runtime, making it easy for users to monitor their power situation.

Furthermore, Tripp Lite understands the importance of sustainability. They strive to design their products with energy efficiency in mind, often adhering to stringent environmental standards during production and operation.

In conclusion, Tripp Lite’s alternative power sources embody the features and technologies that businesses and consumers require for reliable power. With innovations like AVR, versatile output options, and user-friendly monitoring systems, Tripp Lite ensures that users can trust their products to provide lasting power solutions in any environment. Whether for home use, office settings, or outdoor adventures, Tripp Lite continues to pave the way in power protection and management.
