Description

Tripp Lite's APSINT3636VR 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 3600 watts of continuous 230V AC power from any 36V battery or

automotive DC source. When hardwire AC input is energized, commercial power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is

recharged via 3 stage, 30 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and severe 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 utilty or generator power during battery charging and UPS line

power operation, plus efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes. Built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) corrects

line power AC brownouts and overvoltages without using battery power during battery charging and UPS standby 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. Included APSRM4 wired remote power switch with full status LEDs provides remote power inverter on/off switching and continuous status

information (APSRM4 included). 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 battery types and selectable line to battery power transfer

voltages.

Applications

Versatile inverter/charger system with auto-transfer switching serves as an automotive inverter for RVs, over-the-road trucking, conversion

vans and fleet service vehicles; a standalone alternative power source for off-grid, alternative energy or export applications and as an

uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for items compatible with a 20 millisecond transfer time.

LEDS ALARMS & SWITCHES

Front panel LEDs

Set of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (6 levels reported) and battery charge level (7

levels reported). See manual for sequences.

Switches

3 position on/off/remote switch enables simple on/off power control plus "auto/remote" setting that enables distant on/off

control of the inverter system when used in conjunction with optional APSRM4 accessory when used in inverter mode. In

AC uninterruptible power mode, "auto/remote" setting enables automatic transfer from line power to battery power - to

maintain continuous AC power to connected loads.
