Works as an Inverter, Standalone AC Power Source or UPS

The APS2012 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. When the APS2012 is connected to an AC power source, power is passed through to connected equipment and the battery set is charged via a 3-stage, 25/100-amp selectable charging system with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types. In the event of a power failure or severe voltage fluctuation, the APS2012 responds with a near-instantaneous (16.6 millisecond) automatic transfer to battery power. Any number of user-supplied batteries may be connected to the APS2012 to provide unlimited extended battery backup support for critical equipment. A three-position switch enables you to select AUTO mode, Charge Only mode or System Off mode.

The APS2012 converts 12V DC power from a vehicle battery into 120V AC power for any type of equipment, from heavy-duty drills, saws and pumps to computers and sensitive monitoring equipment. It can deliver 3000 watts for up to an hour, 4000 watts for up to 10 seconds and up to 2000 watts continuous power when connected to an AC power source.

The APS2012’s rugged, polycarbonate housing withstands vibration, impact and high-humidity environments. Integral mounting slots enable permanent installation on any rigid, horizontal surface, such as the bed of a pickup truck.

Diagnostic LEDs, Optional Remote Control Capability and 2-Year Warranty

Six front-panel LEDs indicate load level, battery charge, shutdown status and system fault status. Overload protection is provided by a 25-amp AC input circuit breaker, a 20-amp AC output circuit breaker, and a built-in 2-speed cooling fan.

The APS2012 is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection of an optional Remote Control LED/Switch Module (Tripp Lite model APSRM4, sold separately), enabling you to control and monitor the inverter/charger up to 50 ft. (15 m) away.

The APS2012 comes with a one year warranty. It’s manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
