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.

Note: For Marine installations, please replace this page with the page titled "For Marine Applications Only" found in the Owner's Manual Addendum.

Location Warnings

•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 2" clearance at front and back of the Inverter/Charger for proper ventilation. To avoid automatic Inverter/Charger shutdown due to overtemperature, any compartment that contains the Inverter/Charger must be properly ventilated with adequate outside air flow. 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.

Battery Connection Warnings

•The Inverter/Charger will not operate (with or without utility power) until batteries are connected.

•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 (whether for a mobile or stationary application) 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

Do not use a Tripp Lite RV Inverter/Charger in life support or healthcare applications where a malfunction or failure of a Tripp Lite RV Inverter/Charger could cause failure of, or significantly alter the performance of, a life support device or medical equipment.

•You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS system to the output of the Inverter/Charger.

•Tripp Lite recommends wiring the AC output to a GFCI protector (ground fault circuit interrupter).

•The main grounding lug should be connected to the vehicle chassis with an 8 AWG wire (minimum).

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 (if any) 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.

Caution: Some models have a failsafe AC pass-through feature where the AC output will be live (if AC input is available) even though the operating mode switch is set to DC OFF.

With a focus on providing reliable, high-quality electrical solutions in challenging environments, the RV Series is engineered to deliver consistent performance while keeping your devices charged and operational.

One of the main features of the RV Series is its ability to convert DC power from your RV's battery into clean, stable AC power. This allows you to run various household appliances, electronics, and other devices, making your travel experience much more comfortable. Offered in multiple wattage capacities, these inverters can handle everything from small electronics to larger appliances, ensuring that RV enthusiasts have the power they need wherever they go.

The technology embedded in the RV Series includes pure sine wave output, which delivers power similar to that from traditional utility outlets. This is crucial for sensitive equipment and appliances like microwaves, TVs, and other electronics that can be damaged by modified sine wave outputs. Pure sine wave inverters provide a consistent voltage that ensures safe and efficient operation.

In addition to their robust power output and pure sine wave technology, Tripp Lite RV inverters come equipped with built-in safety features. These include overload protection, short circuit protection, and over-temperature shutdown, which help prevent damage to both the inverter and connected devices. These safety mechanisms provide users with peace of mind, allowing them to enjoy their travels without worrying about electrical hazards.

Portability is another significant characteristic of the RV Series. Many models are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them easy to install and transport. Some units even feature convenient mounting options to maximize space within your RV, while maintaining access to power sources.

Furthermore, Tripp Lite's RV Series showcases versatile input and output options. Some models include multiple AC outlets, USB ports, and DC output, enabling users to charge various devices simultaneously. This adaptability caters to the diverse needs of modern travelers who rely on multiple gadgets.

In conclusion, Tripp Lite's RV Series combines power, safety, and versatility, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their RV experience. With pure sine wave output, built-in safety features, and portability, these inverters represent a smart investment for those seeking reliable power on the road. Whether you're embarking on a weekend getaway or a cross-country trek, the RV Series ensures that you can enjoy all the comforts of home while exploring the great outdoors.
