The APSINT2012 2000W APS INT Series 12V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger is a reliable power source for a wide variety of equipment ranging from power tools and pumps to portable lighting and computer equipment in heavy-load conditions. With no fumes, fuel or excess noise, it’s an excellent alternative to generator power.The DC-to-AC inverter features an automatic line-to-battery transfer switch and integrated charging system that allow it to work as a vehicle inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS. It delivers 2000W of continuous power, 3000W up to one hour, or 4000W of peak power up to 10 seconds during equipment startup or cycling. An automatic overload detector, cooling fan and resettable AC circuit breakers protect the unit from damage.Designed for easy installation in RVs, over-the-road trucks, fleet vehicles and conversion vans, the APSINT2012 converts stored power from any 12V battery or automotive DC source to safe, stable, computer-grade AC power for unlimited runtime in heavy-load conditions. When powered by an external AC source, the unit keeps the user-supplied battery charged via a three-stage 15/60A selectable charging system while simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment. When used as a UPS, the APSINT2012 responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic, instantaneous transfer to battery-derived AC output. LEDs indicate AC/DC operational modes, overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown and system fault.Reliable Power for Mobile, Emergency and Remote SitesGenerates safe, stable, computer-grade 230V AC power from 12V battery bankIdeal for powering tools, saws, motors, pumps, portable lighting, appliances and computer equipment in heavy-load conditionsDesigned for easy installation in RVs, over-the-road trucks, fleet vehicles and conversion vansFunctions as a vehicle inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPSUnlimited runtime with variety of user-supplied batteriesMeets Normal and Peak Power Demands2000W of continuous power 3000W of reserve power up to 1 hr. 4000W of peak power up to 10 sec. to accommodate surge power demands during equipment startup and cyclingAutomatic overload detector, built-in cooling fan and resettable AC circuit breakers protect unit from damageHigh-current DC input terminals for simple hardwired installationAutomatic Transfer SwitchingTransfer relay switches to inverter power during blackout in 20 ms3-position switch enables Auto, Charge Only or System Off modeDIP switches configure high and low voltage auto-transfer3-Stage 15/60A Selectable Battery ChargerServes as battery charger when external 230V AC power is supplied and powering connected equipmentProtects battery from overcharging and overdischargingLow-battery protection prevents excessive battery depletionDIP switches configure wet/gel charging profilesOptional Remote Control CapabilityRJ45 communication port allows connection of optional remote control module, such as Tripp Lite’s APSRM4Front-Panel LEDsIndicate AC/DC operational modes, overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system fault statusRugged Polycarbonate HousingResists moisture, vibration and impactBuilt-in mounting feet for installation on any rigid horizontal surface
