To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total
watts)withtheoutputwattagecapacityofyourInverter/Chargermodel(seeSpecifications).Donotconfuse“continuous”wattagewith
“peak”wattageratings.Mostelectricmotorsrequireextrapoweratstart-up(“peakwattage”)thanrequiredtoruncontinuouslyafterstart-up,
sometimesover100%more.Somemotors,suchasinrefrigeratorsandpumps, start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring
“peakwattage”atmultiple,unpredictable timesduringoperation.CompactFluorescent Lamps(CFLs)havehighstartup powerrequire-
ments—typically 500% of their nameplate power rating. Larger CFL loads may be powered if they are started one bulb at a time.

AC Input Connection
Plug the Inverter/Charger's AC input cord into an outlet providing AC voltage that matches the voltage rating of your unit (see nameplate).
Make sure that the circuit you connect your Inverter/Charger to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse. Plug your
equipmentintotheInverter/Charger’sACoutputreceptacles.AnyequipmentyouconnecttoitwillbenefitfromyourInverter/Charger’s

service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the Inverter/Charger is
within the warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the Inverter/Charger for service using an insured carrier to the
address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.
* This is a common cause of service inquiries which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual. ** If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you
proper packaging.
Your Inverter/Charger requires no maintenance and contains no user-serviceable or replaceable parts, but should be kept dry at all times.
Periodically check, clean and tighten all cable connections, as necessary, both at the unit and at the battery.
