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 Inverters.

Location Warnings

• Install your Inverter (whether for a mobile or stationary application)

in a location or compartment that minimizes exposure to heat, dust,

direct sunlight and moisture.

• Although your Inverter 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 inches (5 cm) clearance at front and back of

the Inverter for proper ventilation. The heavier the load of connected

equipment, the more heat will be generated by the unit. Any

compartment that contains the Inverter must be properly ventilated

with adequate outside airﬂow to avoid overheating the Inverter.

• Do not install the Inverter 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.

Important Safety Instructions

Battery Connection Warnings

• 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 and/

or property damage could result.

• Connect the Inverter to the battery with recommended DC fusing

(see Battery Connection), along with properly sized battery cabling.

Ground Connection Warnings

• Safe operation requires connecting the Inverter’s main grounding

screw directly to the frame of the vehicle or earth ground.

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.

• You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a

surge protector, line conditioner or UPS system to the modiﬁed sine

wave output of the inverter.

18-11-134-9338A0.indb 4 12/5/2018 9:13:35 AM

Important Safety Instructions

Operation Warnings

• Your inverter produces a modiﬁed sine wave, not a pure sine

wave. Inductive loads like a refrigerator or drill are not suitable for

long-term use with a modiﬁed sine wave inverter. Otherwise, it may

damage or shorten the working life of the inverter or associated

devices.

• Your inverter 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 as long as the

battery is connected. During any service work, the battery should

therefore be disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the inverter is

operating. Dangerous arcing may result.

Feature Identiﬁcation

CON/OFF Switch: When you set the switch to the ON position,

the Inverter provides AC power by converting DC power from the

connected 12V battery system. Set the switch to the OFF position

to shut down the Inverter and conserve the battery’s charge when

you are not using connected equipment. Also set the switch to

the OFF position to reset the Inverter if it has shut down due to

overload or other critical events. See the Operation section for

more information.

DLED Status Indicators: When the switch is set to the ON

position, the LED system will illuminate green during normal, low-

voltage alarm and output short circuit conditions. If there is an

overload, over-temperature, or if a high/low DC voltage shutdown

condition occurs, the LED system will illuminate red.

Battery Selection

Match Battery Amp-Hour Capacity to Your

Application

Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter

with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to power

your application. Even though Tripp Lite Inverters are highly efﬁcient

at DC-to-AC inversion, their rated output capacities are limited by the

total amp-hour capacity of connected batteries, plus the output of an

alternator (when one is used).

STEP 1) Determine Total Wattage Required

Add the wattage ratings of all equipment you will connect to your

Inverter. Wattage ratings are typically listed in equipment manuals

or on nameplates. If your equipment is rated in amps, multiply that

number times AC utility voltage to estimate watts. (Example: a drill

requires 2.5 amps. 2.5 amps × 120 volts = 300 watts.)

Note: Your Inverter will operate at higher efﬁciencies around 75% - 80% of

nameplate rating.

Step 2) Determine DC Battery Amps Required

Divide the total wattage required (from Step 1, above) by the battery

voltage to determine the DC amps required, then multiply by 1.2 to

account for conversion losses.

Step 3) Estimate Battery Amp-Hours Required

Multiply the DC amps required (from Step 2, above) by the number of

hours you estimate the equipment will operate exclusively from battery

power before recharging the batteries. This will provide an estimate of

how many battery power amp-hours (from one or several batteries) you

should connect to your Inverter.

Note: Battery amp-hour ratings are usually given for a 20-hour discharge rate.

Actual amp-hour capacities are less when batteries are discharged at faster

rates. For example, batteries discharged in 55 minutes provide only 50% of their

listed amp-hour ratings, while batteries discharged in 9 minutes provide as little

as 30% of their amp-hour ratings.

Mounting

WARNING!

Mount your Inverter BEFORE DC battery connection. Failure

to follow these instructions may lead to personal injury and/

or damage to the Inverter and connected systems. Ensure the

inverter never is mounted in a vertical position (fan or outlet side

facing up or down). Mounting an inverter in a vertical position

allows debris to enter the unit and inhibit proper operation of its

cooling system, which can void the inverter’s warranty.

Tripp Lite recommends permanently mounting the Inverter in the

conﬁgurations illustrated below. The Inverter features integral mounting

brackets on the right and left sides of the unit. The user must supply

mounting hardware and is responsible for determining whether

hardware and mounting surfaces adequately support the weight of the

unit.

Use the measurements as shown in the following diagram to install two

user-supplied fasteners to the right or bottom (wall-mount) mounting

slots of the unit, leaving the heads slightly raised. Slide the unit over

the fasteners to engage the mounting slots. Tighten fasteners. Install

and tighten two additional fasteners to the remaining mounting slots

for proper securement.
