Power Inverter (Option)
A 12 Vdc to 120 Vac inverter is available as an option for TriPac. The inverter
is normally connected directly to the truck batteries.
Inverter features will vary, depending upon the brand and model used.
Typically, when the inverter detects an AC load, it automatically turns on and
converts DC to AC power for onboard 120 Vac devices. If the TriPac is
enabled and the inverter draws truck battery voltage down below the voltage
limit established for the installation, the TriPac will start and attempt to
recharge the truck batteries back to the level specified. If the TriPac is not
enabled, the inverter could drain the truck batteries below the level required
to start the truck or the TriPac.
Manufacturer’s instructions for the optional inverter are provided separately.
It is important to read and follow those instructions for proper use of the
inverter.
