Mounting

WARNING! Mount your Inverter/Charger BEFORE DC battery and AC power 
connection. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to personal injury
and/or damage to the Inverter/Charger and connected systems.

Tripp Lite manufactures a variety of different Inverter/Chargers with a variety of different mounting options for use in vehicular or non-vehicular
applications. Tripp Lite recommends permanent mounting of your Inverter/Charger in any of the configurations illustrated below. User must
supply mounting hardware and is responsible for determining if the hardware and mounting surface are suitable to support the weight of the
Inverter/Charger. Contact Tripp Lite if you require further assistance in mounting your Inverter/Charger.

Vehicular and Non-Vehicular Horizontal Mount

(612 models only)

Using the measurements from the diagram, install two user-supplied ¼"

(6 mm) fasteners into a rigid horizontal surface, leaving the heads slight-
ly raised. 

Slide the Inverter/Charger back over the fasteners to engage

the mounting slots molded on the bottom of the Inverter/Charger cabinet. 

Install and tighten two user-supplied ¼" (6 mm) fasteners into the

mounting feet molded on the front of the Inverter/Charger cabinet.

Vehicular and Non-Vehicular Horizontal Mount

(All models except 612)

Using the measurements from the diagram, install two user-sup-

plied ¼" (6 mm) fasteners into a rigid horizontal surface, leaving
the heads slightly raised. 

Slide the Inverter/Charger forward

over the fasteners to engage the mounting feet molded on the
front of the Inverter/Charger cabinet.    Install and tighten two
user-supplied ¼" (6 mm) fasteners into the mounting feet molded
on the rear of the Inverter/Charger cabinet. The rear feet extend
beyond the unit’s cabinet to provide for adequate ventilation
space behind the cooling fan(s); they should not be removed.

Note: RV model cabinets may have different front panel features, but all mount as per the figure above, or via the Lateral
Mounting Bracket, illustrated at left.

Vehicular and Non-Vehicular 

(All models except 612)

• Horizontal Mount  • Vertical Mount  • Inverted Mount

Tripp Lite’s Lateral Mounting Bracket (pre-installed on select models, but also
available as an optional accessory from Tripp Lite*) provides a rigid surface 
for lateral mounting in vehicular or non-vehicular applications. Consult the
instructions packed with the Lateral Mounting Bracket for complete mounting
information. Note: only models RV2012OEM and RV3012OEM are covered
under warranty for inverted mounting in a vehicular application. Such 
mounting may be possible with other models, however, when your
Inverter/Charger is properly secured to a Lateral Mounting Bracket. As with
any mounting, user is responsible for determining if the Inverter/Charger can be
mounted safely relative to their application. Since securing an Inverter/Charger
to a Lateral Mounting Bracket which is not factory pre-installed will require
some modifications to the Inverter/Charger cabinet, please consult the Lateral
Mounting Bracket owner’s manual (available online at www.tripplite.com)
prior to purchasing.

* Contact Tripp Lite for ordering information.

Lateral Mounting Bracket

Note: Centers between front and back mounting holes is 12" (30.5 cm).
