PowerVerter® APS 2000W Inverter/Charger with

Auto-Transfer Switching and Hardwire Input/Output

MODEL NUMBER: APS2012

Description

Tripp Lite's APS2012 DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated charging system

serves as an extended run UPS, a standalone power source or an automotive inverter. Supplies up to 2000

watts of continuous 120V AC power from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. OverPower TM inverter

output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous output for 1-60 minutes, and DoubleBoost TM

inverter output feature delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds, providing the extra

power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and motorized equipment. When hardwire AC input is energized,

commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 25/100

amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and voltage fluctuations with a near

instantaneous automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of high current DC input terminals

for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling - see owner's manual for recommendations). Passes

sine wave utility or generator power during battery charging and UPS line power operation, plus efficient PWM

sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes. Reliable large transformer design, with frequency

control powers resistive electronic loads or large inductive motors, compressors and other items with high current

needs on startup. Optional APSRM4 wired remote power switch with full status LEDs provides remote power

inverter on/off switching and continuous status information (APSRM4 sold separate). Supports an unlimited

amount of runtime with any number of user-supplied batteries connected. Highly adaptable to a variety of

applications and site conditions with adjustable charger settings for wet/gel/SLA battery types and selectable line

to battery power transfer voltages.

NOTE: To protect against high current draw that may occur during inverter failure, a fuse link rated at 400a

should be positioned no more than 18" from the APS2012's battery in the positive line.
