Switches, Indicator Lights & Other Features continued

Other Features

9.DC Input Terminals (All models): The terminals’ lug screws secure the wires leading from your external battery or battery system. Your battery or battery system must provide your APS with proper DC voltage and your equipment with an adequate amp hour capacity. See Battery Selection section, pg. 8 for more information.

10.AC Receptacles: NEMA 5-15R (Corded models only): These receptacles allow you to connect equipment that would normally be plugged into a utility outlet. They feature ground fault indicator switches that trip when the receptacles are in danger of short circuiting. If the switches trip, press to reset them when the short circuit situation is remedied.

11.AC Input Line Cord: NEMA 5-15P fixed (Corded models only): This cord should be plugged into a 120V, 60 Hz, dedicated 15 Amp AC utility outlet. DO NOT plug the cord into the APS’s AC receptacles.

12.Hardwire AC Input/Output Terminal Strip (Hardwire models only): Use the lug screws on these terminals to secure hardwire connections for AC input and output. See pages 10 & 36 for wiring instructions.

13.Resettable Circuit Breakers (All models): These circuit breakers protect your APS against damage due to input or output overload. If a breaker trips, remove some of the load on the APS to prevent overload, then wait 1 minute to allow components to cool before resetting the circuit breaker.

14.Remote Module Connector (All models): The front panel of all models has an RJ 45 receptacle for use with the optional remote module. (Module is included with all VR models.) See the installation instructions packed with the remote module.

15.Load Sense Potentiometer (All models): In order to save battery power, the APS’s inverter automatically shuts off when no load is connected. When the unit detects a load, it automatically turns the inverter on. Users may choose the minimum load the APS will detect by adjusting the Load Sense Potentiometer. Using a small tool, turn the potentiometer clockwise to lower the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to turn on for smaller loads. When the potentiometer is turned fully clockwise, the inverter will operate even when there is no load. Turn the potentiometer counterclockwise to increase the minimum load that will be detected, causing the inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is reached. The factory setting for the potentiometer is fully clockwise, but in areas with frequent power interruptions, the potentiometer should be adjusted counterclockwise until the inverter is only in operation when the APS’s load is in use.

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.
