Operation & Features

(See Diagram 10, p. 20 to locate the following switches, indicator lights and other features.)

Outlets

1. AC Receptacles (All models)

These output receptacles provide AC power to connected equipment. The PV 500FC and the PV 1000FC feature NEMA 5-15 receptacles, while the PV 2000FC and 2400FC feature NEMA 5-20 receptacles. Plug your equipment into these outlets as if they were utility (wall) AC outlets. Note: the total power demand of all equipment connected to your PowerVerter's output receptacles must not exceed your PowerVerter's power ratings (see Specifications, p. 8 for your model's Continuous and Surge Power Ratings). Also note that these outlets provide no connection to ground.

Power Switches

2. OFF—ON Switch (PV 500FC and PV 1000FC)

•Move this switch to the ON position to have your PowerVerter provide connected equipment with AC power by converting DC power from an attached battery.

•Move this switch to the ON position to control the PowerVerter at a distance with a user- supplied on/off switch.

•Leave this switch in the OFF position when not using connected equipment to prevent battery drain.

3. REMOTE—OFF—ON Switch (PV 2000FC and PV 2400FC)

•Set this 3-position switch to REMOTE to control your PowerVerter at a distance with a Tripp Lite PV/APS Remote (sold seperately).

•Move this switch to the ON position to have your PowerVerter provide connected equipment with AC power by converting DC power from an attached battery.

•Leave this switch in the OFF position when not using connected equipment to prevent battery drain.
