2 Intr oduction Congratulations! Y ou’ ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich integrated in verter/battery charger on the market. Y our APS pro vides your equipment with utility-supplied A C p.
3 3-Stage Battery Charger Y our APS rechar ges your battery faster than con ventional char gers because its three-stage charger prof ile (Bulk, Absorption and Float) are optimized, regardless of the type of battery you use (W et or Gel).
4 Impor tant Safety Instruction SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be f ollowed during the installation, operation and storage of all T ripp Lite APS Systems. APS Location W arnings • Install your APS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
5 Configuration DIP SWITCH GROUP A (All models) BA TTER Y TYPE / VOL T AGE POINT Using a small tool, set the 4 “Battery T ype / V oltage Point” Configuration DIP Switches, Group A (located on the front panel of your APS; see Diagram 1, p.
6 DIP SWITCH GROUP B (A vailable on Select Models) LOAD SHARING/EQ U ALIZE BA TTER Y CHARGE The “Load Sharing” Configuration DIP Switches, #1 and #2 of Group B (located on the front panel of your APS; see Diagram 1, p. 36), should be set with a small tool according to the guide- lines below .
7 • Equaliz e Battery Charge (DIP Switch #3, Group B) This DIP Switch is momentarily engaged to begin the process of equalizing the internal resistance of your battery's cells.
8 Battery Selection Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your APS with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp hour capacity .* Select ‘Deep-Cycle’ batteries to enjoy optimum performance from your APS. Batteries of either W et-Cell (vented) or Gel-Cell/Absorbed Glass Mat (sealed) construction are ideal.
9 1. Connect your APS’ s positive DC T erminal directly to a fuse. UL recommends that you install a recognized UL component fuse block and fuse within 18 inches of the battery . The fuse’ s rating must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your APS model’ s specifications on pages 16 or 17.
10 When figuring the po wer requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” po wer ratings with “peak” power ratings. Electric motors require more po wer to turn on (“peak po wer”) than they require to run continuously . “Peak” power ratings are usually 2 to 5 times “Continuous” ratings.
11 • Switch to “ A UTO/REMO TE” when you are using connected equipment. AD V ANT AGE: Uninterruptible power supply . Provides battery backup power during blackouts or brownouts. Note: When the switch is in the “A UTO/REMOTE” position, you can oper ate a user-supplied switch to tr ansfer between battery-backup and char ge-only modes.
12 4. “LINE” (All models): This green light will turn continuously ON whene ver connected equipment is receiving utility-supplied A C power and your APS is set to “ A UTO/REMO TE”, meaning that it will provide battery backup if utility po wer fails.
13 9. DC Input T erminals (All models): The terminals’ lug screws secure the wires leading from your external battery or battery system. Y our battery or battery system must provide your APS with proper DC voltage and your equipment with an adequate amp hour capacity .
14 Y our APS model requires no maintenance b ut should be kept dry at all times. Periodically check all cable connections both at the unit and at the battery . Clean and tighten connections as necessary . If returning your APS to Tripp Lite, please pack the APS carefully , using the ORIGINAL P A CKING MA TERIAL that came with the unit.
15 T r y these remedies for common APS problems bef ore calling f or help. Call T ripp Lite Customer Ser vice at (773) 869-1234 before returning your APS f or service. SYMPT OM PROBLEMS CORRECTIONS APS does not provide APS not properly connected to Connect APS to utility power .

21 Este manual contiene advertencias e instrucciones importantes que deben seguirse durante la instalación, operación y almacenaje de todos los Sistemas APS de T ripp Lite. Precauciones Sobre la Ubicación del APS • Instale este sistema bajo techo, lejos de calor o humedad excesiv os, polvo o luz solar directa.
22 Configuración GRUPO A DE INTERR UPT ORES DIP (T odos los modelos) TIPO DE BA TERÍAS / PUNT OS DE VOL T AJA Usando una herramienta pequeña, ajuste los 4 Interruptores DIP de Configuración, Grupo.
23 GRUPO B DE INTERR UPT ORES DIP (Modelos Selectos) COMP AR TICION DE CARGA / IGU ALAR CARGA DE BA TERIAS Usando una herramienta pequeña, ajuste los Interruptores DIP de Configuración “Load Sharing” (compartición de carga) del Grupo B (ubicados en el panel frontal del sistema APS; vea el Diagrama 1, página 36).
24 Configuración continua • Igualar la Carga de Baterías (Interruptores DIP No. 3, Grupo B) Este interruptor DIP se acciona momentáneamente para iniciar el proceso de igualar la resistencia interna de las pilas.
25 Seleccione una batería o sistema de baterías que suministre voltaje apropiado de CD y capacidad adecuada en amperios / hora al sistema APS.* Seleccione baterías de ciclo profundo para obtener el máximo rendimiento de su sistema APS. Las baterías húmedas (ventiladas) o de gel / fibra de vidrio absorbido (selladas) son ideales.
26 El usuario debe suministrar todos los sujetadores y piezas de fijación necesarias y v erificar que éstas sean adecuadas para la superficie de montaje que desea utilizar . Apague el Po werV erter y todos lo equipos conectados antes de comenzar el proceso de montaje.
27 Los cables de conexión de las baterías deben ser de longitud mínima posible y en ninguna circunstancia deben exceder 10 pies de longitud. Los cables cortos y de calibres espesos limitan la pérdida de voltaje de CD y permite transferencia máxima de corriente.
28 Cuando calcule la demanda de energía de sus equipos, no confunda el índice de ener gía “continua” con el índice de energía “de cresta”. Ciertos motores eléctricos necesitan más ener gía para arrancar (“energía de cresta”) de lo que requieren para su operación continua.
29 Simplemente conecte sus equipos a los receptáculos de CA de la unidad. • Colóquelo en la posición “ A UTO/REMO TE” (automático / remoto) cuando usted desee utilizar los equipos conectados. VENT AJ A: Suministra energía de respaldo durante caídas de voltaje y apagones.
30 4. “LINE” (Línea – T odos los modelos): Esta luz verde se iluminará continuamente para indicar que los equipos conectados están recibiendo energía de CA suministrada por la compañía loc.
31 9. T erminales de Entrada de CD (T odos los modelos): Las tuercas aseguran los cables prov enientes de la batería externa o sistema externo de baterías. Sus baterías o sistema de baterías deben proporcionar voltaje adecuado de CD al sistema APS y a sus equipos, y también capacidad adecuada en amperios/hora.
32 Este sistema APS no requiere mantenimiento alguno. No obstante, debe mantenerse seco en todo momento. V erifique periódicamente todas las conexiones y cables en la unidad y sus baterías.
