Battery Charger

Stage 2

Absorption

Your APS recharges your battery

faster than conventional chargers

because its three-stage charger pro-

file (Bulk, Absorption and Float) are

optimized, regardless of the type of

battery you use (Wet or Gel).* In addi-

tion, the advanced charging system

protects against over-charge and

over-discharge to ensure a longer

service life from your battery.

Stage 3

Float

* The Absorption and Float levels vary according to

battery type, which can be set to either “Wet” or “Gel”cell.

TIME

CHARGING PROFILE

• Voltage Regulation (Select models only)

“VR” APS models regulate incoming AC power by automatically “boosting” or “cutting” the voltage

to keep your equipment running through brownouts and overvoltages without draining battery

power.

• Load Sharing (Select models only)

Select APS models can be set to limit their own charging functions so they can charge their

batteries at the quickest rate possible without overloading their power input circuits.

• Frequency-Controlled Inverter Output

All APS models feature Frequency-Controlled Inverter Output which allows devices dependent on

AC line frequency (such as computers, VCRs, CD players, tape recorders, clocks and turntables)

to operate properly.

• Circuit Board Protection

A silicone conformal coating safeguards the circuit boards against moisture.

Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the

installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite APS Systems.

APS Location Warnings

• Install your APS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.

• Your APS is NOT waterproof. Contact with water can cause the unit to short circuit and

could cause personal injury due to electric shock. Never immerse your APS. Mount it in

the driest location available.

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the APS for proper ventilation. The heavier the

load of connected equipment, the more heat will be generated by the APS.

• Do not install the APS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.

Battery Connection Warnings

• Your APS will not operate with or without utility power until batteries are connected.

• Multiple battery systems must be made up of batteries of the same voltage, age, amp

hour capacity and type.

• Keep battery location well ventilated. Explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near

batteries if they are not kept well ventilated.

• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe proper polarity as bat-

teries are connected.

• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not short or bridge these

terminals together. Serious injury to property or person could result.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite APS Systems in life support applications where a malfunction or

failure of a Tripp Lite APS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance

of a life support device.

• Do not connect a surge suppressor, line conditioner or UPS to the output of the APS.

• Corded models: Do not modify the APS's plug in a way that eliminates its ground connection.

Do not use power adapters that will eliminate the plug's ground connection. Connect your

APS only to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug your APS into itself; this

will damage the APS and void your warranty.

Operation Warnings

• Your APS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your APS for any reason.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit 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 APS is operating from the battery supply.

Dangerous arcing may result.

Most loads will perform adequately when your APS’s High AC Voltage Point DIP Switch #2 is set

to 135V and its Low AC Voltage Point DIP Switches #3 and #4 are set to 95V. However, if your APS

frequently switches to battery power due to momentary high/low line voltage swings that would

have little effect on equipment operation, you may wish to adjust these settings. By raising the High

AC Voltage Switch to Battery point and/or lowering the Low AC Voltage Switch to Battery Point, you

may reduce the number of times your APS switches to battery due to voltage swings.

* Factory default settings.

DIP SWITCH GROUP B (Available on Select Models)

LOAD SHARING/EQUALIZE BATTERY CHARGE

Using a small tool, set the “Load Sharing” Configuration DIP Switches, #1 and #2 of Group B

(located on the front panel of your APS; see Diagram 1, p. 32). DIP Switch #3, Group B should

be kept in the “UP” position when you are not equalizing your batteries’ charges. DIP Switch #4,

Group B has different functions, or no function, depending on your APS model.

• Load Sharing

(DIP Switches #1, Group B & #2, Group B)

Your APS features a high-output battery charger that can draw a significant amount of power

from your line power source when charging at its maximum rate. If an APS is supplying its full

AC power rating to its connected load at the same time as it is charging, it could trip its line

source circuit breaker. Tripping this breaker will cut off AC power to your load and stop battery

charging.

To reduce the chance of tripping this breaker, select APS models may be set to automatically

limit their charger output to keep the sum of their AC load and charger power within their

circuit breakers’ rating.

This charger limiting function has four settings, allowing you to choose less charger limiting for

APS configurations with higher rated breakers. The figures below show how to set your DIP

Switches to select how heavy a load can be placed on your APS before charger limiting begins.

Battery Charger Limiting Points

Charger limiting takes effect the

moment any load is applied; charger

output falls gradually from full output

at no load to no output at full load.

Charger limiting begins at when the

APS's load reaches 66% of the APS's

load rating. Charger output falls

gradually from full output at 66% of

the APS's load rating to about 40% of

full output at full load.

• Equalize Battery Charge

(DIP Switch #3, Group B)

This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equalizing the internal resistance

of your battery's cells. This can extend the useful life of certain types of batteries; consult with

your battery's manufacturer to determine if your batteries could benefit from this process. The

charge equalization process is automatic and once started can only be stopped by removing

the input power.

SETTING PROCEDURE:

1) Move to “Equalize” (DOWN) position for three seconds.

2) Move to “Reset” (UP) position and leave it there.

CAUTION: Battery charge equalization should only be performed in strict accordance

with the battery manufacturer's instructions and specifications.

CAUTION: Do not leave DIP switch #3 in the down position after beginning process.

Battery Selection

Selecting Battery Type

Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your APS with proper DC voltage and an

adequate amp hour capacity.* Select ‘Deep-Cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum performance from

your APS. Batteries of either Wet-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell/Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction

are ideal. 6 Volt “golf-cart, Marine Deep-Cycle or 8D Deep-Cycle batteries are also acceptable.**

* Even though APS models are high-efficiency converters of electricity, their rated output capacities are limited by the amp-hour size

of the external batteries. ** You must set Configuration DIP Switch #1, Group A (Battery Type) to match the type of batteries you

connect or your batteries may be degraded or damaged over an extended period of time. See "APS Configuration," page 5 for more

information.)

Selecting Battery Amp Hour Capacity

Step 1:

Add the Wattage Ratings of your connected equipment to determine the Total Wattage Required.*

Step 2:

Divide the Total Wattage Required (from Step 1) by the battery voltage to determine the DC

Amperes Required.

Step 3:

Multiply the DC Amperes Required (from Step 2) by the number of hours you estimate will pass

without AC power before your battery can recharge to determine a Battery Amp-Hours Required

Rough Estimate.**

Step 4:

Compensate for inefficiency by multiplying your Battery Amp-Hour Required Rough Estimate (from

Step 3) by 1.2 to determine how many amp-hours of battery backup (from one or several batteries)

you should connect to your APS. Note that the Amp-Hour ratings of batteries are usually given for

a 20 hour discharge rate. Actual Amp-Hour capacities are less when batteries are discharged at

faster rates: batteries discharged in 55 minutes provide only about 50% of their listed Amp-Hour

ratings, while batteries discharged in 9 minutes provide as little as 30% of their Amp-Hour ratings.

* The wattage rating is usually stated in the equipment's manuals or on their nameplates. If your equipment is rated in amperes, convert

to watts by multiplying the ampere rating by your nominal AC line voltage (120). ** Your charging amps multiplied by the charging

hours must exceed the discharge amp-hours taken from the batteries between charges or you will eventually run down your battery bank.

Mounting (Optional*)

(See Diagram 2, p. 32).

User must supply all fasteners and brackets and verify their suitability for use with the intended

mounting surface. Turn your APS PowerVerter and connected equipment OFF before mounting.

• Install two 8 mm (1/4 in.) fasteners (A) into a rigid horizontal surface using the measurements

in the diagram. Leave the heads of fasteners raised slightly above the surface in order to

engage the slots in the APS’s feet.

• Slide PowerVerter forward to fully engage the fasteners in the APS’s feet. Install two 8 mm

(1/4 in.) fasteners (B) into the surface, through the slots in the APS’s two unsecured feet.

Tighten the screws to secure the APS in position.

Horizontal mounting should be used for all vehicular applications. Due to their size and weight, all APS PowerVerter

systems in vehicles should be mounted on

battery connection.

rigid horizontal (not vertical) surface, mounting plate or bracket before

Battery Connection (Standard)

1. Connect your APS’s positive DC Terminal directly to a fuse.

UL recommends that you install a recognized UL component fuse block and fuse within 18 inches

of the battery.The fuse's rating must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your

APS model's specifications on pages 14 or 15.

2. Choose a battery configuration appropriate to your batteries.

• Single Battery Connection: Refer to Diagram 4, page 33. When using a single battery, its

voltage must be equal to the voltage of your APS's Inverter Nominal Input Voltage (see

specs).

• Parallel Battery Connection: Refer to Diagram 5, page 33. When using multiple batteries in

parallel, each battery's voltage must be equal to the voltage of your APS's Inverter Nominal

Input Voltage (see specs).

• Series Battery Connection: Refer to Diagram 6, page 33. When using multiple batteries in

series, all batteries must be equal in voltage and amp hour capacity, and the sum of their

voltages must be equal to the voltage of your APS's Inverter Nominal Input Voltage (see

specs).

3. Use 2/0 gauge wire ONLY to make external battery connections.

Tighten battery terminals to a torque of 4 N-m.

WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions can lead

to product failure due to excessive heating!

Battery connection cable lengths should be short as possible, and must not exceed the

Maximum Cable Length listed under Specifications, page 14. Shorter and heavier gauge cabling

limits DC voltage drop and allows for maximum transfer of current.* You must tighten your battery

terminals to approximately 4 Newton-meters of torque to create an efficient connection and prevent

excessive heating. Insufficiently tightening terminals could void your PowerVerter's warranty.

*APS models are capable of delivering a much higher wattage output for brief periods of time. Wiring should be configured to

handle this brief high-current draw. Though your APS is a high-efficiency converter of electricity, its rated output capacity is limited

by the length and gauge of the wires running from the battery to the APS.

Battery Connection (DC Vehicular)

APS systems may be permanently mounted in a car, truck or boat and connected to draw power

from the vehicle's battery. Note: An APS can ONLY be connected to vehicle batteries with

voltage that matches the APS's Nominal DC Input—12V vehicle batteries to 12V Nominal DC

Input APS systems, etc. (See Specifications). There are two main ways to make this sort of

vehicular battery connection. Choose the Basic Connection if you are running light hand tools or

other small appliances for a brief period of time (see Diagram 7, p. 34). Choose the Advanced

Connection if you are using your APS to power heavy loads for extended periods of time (see

Diagram 8, p. 34). The Advanced Connection incorporates a battery isolator and separate battery

system to provide battery power to your APS while preventing it from draining your vehicle's

battery. Note: Depending on your application, you may require more than one Deep Cycle Battery.

Caution: Never operate your APS from an alternator without a battery connected as shown in Diagrams 7 or 8, p. 34.

AC Connection

Before AC connection, match the power requirements of your

equipment with the power output of your APS to avoid overload.

When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” power

ratings with “peak” power ratings. Electric motors require more power to turn on (“peak power”)

than they require to run continuously. “Peak” power ratings are usually 2 to 5 times “Continuous”

ratings. Most electric motors require “peak power” only when they are first turned on. The electric

motors in equipment such as refrigerators and sump pumps, however, constantly turn on and off

according to demand. These motors require “peak power” at multiple, unpredictable times during

their operation.

Hardwired Electrical Connections

(All hardwire models)

(See Diagram 3, p. 32).

Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements.

HARDWIRE PROCEDURE

1) Remove screws and cover plate from your APS's Hardwire AC electrical box. Remove the

knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and to your equipment.

2) Thread your wires through strain reliefs and through the knockouts.

3) Connect both input and output ground wires to the ground (green) terminal.

4) Connect the incoming hot wire to the input hot (brown) terminal.

5) Connect the incoming neutral wire to the input neutral (blue) terminal.

6) Connect the outgoing hot wire to the output hot (black) terminal.

7) Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral (white) terminal.

8) Tighten and affix strain reliefs. Replace cover plate and tighten screws.

AC Input Electrical Connection

(All corded models)

Plug the line cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60 Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit you

connect your APS to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse.

AC Output Electrical Connection

(All corded models)

Simply plug your equipment into the unit's AC receptacles

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.)

Set Operating Mode Switch continued

• 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 Diagram 9, p. 35 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. 10 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. 7 to select the optimum settings for these switches.

Indicator Lights

4. “LINE” (All models)

This green light will turn continuously ON whenever connected equipment is receiving utility-supplied

AC power and your APS is set to “AUTO/REMOTE”, meaning that it will provide battery backup if

utility power fails. It will flash intermittently when connected equipment is receiving utility power and

your APS's Operating Mode Switch is set to “CHARGE ONLY” to warn you that the APS's inverter

is OFF and that the APS WILL NOT provide battery backup during blackouts, brownouts or overvoltages.

5. “INV” (Inverting—all models)

This yellow light will turn continuously ON whenever connected equipment is receiving battery-

supplied AC power (during a blackout, brownout or overvoltage while connected to utility power or

when connected to batteries during vehicular operation).

6. “LOAD” (All models)

This red light will turn continuously ON when the APS’s load is between 80% and 110% of capacity.

The light will flash intermittently when the APS's inverter shuts down due to a severe overload or

overheating. If this happens, turn Operating Mode Switch OFF. Remove the overload and let the

unit cool. You may then turn the APS ON after it cools.

7. “CUT/BOOST” (VR models only)

These lights will turn ON whenever your APS is automatically correcting high (CUT) or low

(BOOST) AC line voltage. This is a normal, automatic operation of your APS that does not drain

battery power, and no action is required on your part.

8. “BATTERY HI/MED/LO” (All models)

These three lights will turn ON in several sequences to show the approximate charge level and

voltage of your connected battery bank and alert you to several fault conditions:

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. 7 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 9 & 32 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.
