Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers.

Location Warnings

•Install your Inverter/Charger in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust, direct sunlight and moisture.

•Although your Inverter/Charger is moisture resistant, it is NOT waterproof. Flooding the unit with water will cause it to short circuit and could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse the unit, and avoid any area where standing water might accumulate. Mounting should be in the driest location available.

•Leave a minimum of 50 mm clearance at front and back of the Inverter/Charger for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit.

•Do not install the Inverter/Charger directly near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

•Do not install near flammable materials, fuel or chemicals.

•Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.

•Mount your Inverter/Charger BEFORE DC battery and AC power connection. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to personal injury and/or damage to the Inverter/Charger and connected systems.

Battery Connection Warnings

•The battery should be connected before operating the Inverter/Charger.

•Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of identical voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.

•Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries if they are not kept well ventilated, your batteries should not be installed in a “dead air” compartment. Ideally, any compartment would have some ventilation to outside air.

•Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as batteries are connected.

•Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury or property damage could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

•Connect your Inverter/Charger only to a properly grounded AC power source. Do not connect the unit to itself; this will damage the device and void your warranty.

•The main grounding lug should be connected to earth ground with a minimum 3.15 mm diameter (8AWG) wire.

Operation Warnings

•Your Inverter/Charger does not require routine maintenance. Do not open the device for any reason. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

•Potentially lethal voltages exist within the Inverter/Charger as long as the battery supply and/or AC input are connected. During any service work, the battery supply and AC input connection should therefore be disconnected.

•Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter/Charger is operating in either inverting or charging mode. Operating Mode Switch should be in the OFF position. Dangerous arcing may result.

APSX6048VR specifications

The Tripp Lite APSX6048VR is a leading-edge power inverter designed to meet the diverse needs of users requiring reliable and efficient backup power solutions. With a robust AC output, this 6000-watt inverter provides the capability to power multiple devices and systems simultaneously, making it ideal for both residential and commercial use. Its high power capacity allows it to handle heavy loads, making it suitable for essential appliances, tools, and equipment.

One of the standout features of the APSX6048VR is its advanced pure sine wave output. Unlike modified sine wave inverters, pure sine wave inverters deliver a smooth and consistent power supply that is compatible with sensitive electronics. This ensures safe and efficient operation for devices such as computers, medical equipment, and audio/visual systems, preventing damage and prolonging their lifespan.

The inverter also includes an impressive voltage output range of 48V, which optimizes performance and maximizes efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice for solar and battery backup systems, allowing for seamless integration with renewable energy setups. The APSX6048VR supports various charging input sources, making it versatile for different installations, whether on-grid or off-grid.

Another notable characteristic of this inverter is its built-in automatic transfer switch (ATS). This feature ensures a quick transition from mains power to inverter power in the event of a power failure, providing uninterrupted power to critical loads. Additionally, the Tripp Lite APSX6048VR features multiple safety mechanisms, including over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection, and short-circuit protection, guaranteeing safe operation under varying conditions.

The inverter is designed for easy installation and user-friendly operation. It comes equipped with an LCD display that provides vital system information such as input/output voltage, load capacity, and battery status. This real-time feedback allows users to monitor their power usage effectively.

With durable construction and a compact design, the Tripp Lite APSX6048VR is both portable and durable, making it a reliable choice for temporary setups or permanent installations. It’s an ideal power solution for anyone seeking a reliable inverter that combines high performance with advanced technology, ensuring that devices remain powered in any situation.
