AC Input/Output Connection
To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to 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). When figuring the power requirements
of your equipment, 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.
Connection for Models with Cords and Receptacles
Plug the Inverter/Charger’s AC input cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit you connect your
Inverter/Charger to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse. To make use of AC output (either utility/genera-
tor pass-through power or inverter power) simply plug your equipment into the Inverter/Charger's AC receptacles. Any equipment you con-
nect to it will benefit from your Inverter/Charger’s built-in

Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes
and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility
supply before attempting hardwiring.
Connection for Models with Hardwire Terminals
Remove the screws and cover plate over the hardwire terminal box. Remove the knockout covers closest to the desired electrical source and
to your equipment. Attach ½" diameter conduits (user-supplied) to the knockouts and thread wires through. Connect the conduits to each
other with the ground bond connection supplied.

• Connect the incoming and outgoing ground wires to the
ground (green) terminal .
AC Input
• Connect the incoming hot wire to the input hot
(brown) terminal .
• Connect the incoming neutral wire to the input neutral (blue)
terminal .
AC Output
• Connect the outgoing hot wire to the output hot
(black) terminal .
• Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the output neutral (white)
terminal .
Replace cover plate and tighten screws.* If the incoming conduit only contains two wires (hot
and neutral), the incoming conduit must be bonded to the main ground lug on the unit. In any
case, the incoming conduit must be bonded to earth or vehicle ground, and the incoming con-
duit must be bonded to the outgoing conduit.

• DoubleBoost
™
Feature
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to twice their nameplate
rated wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power
needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment.
• OverPower
™
Feature
Tripp Lite Inverter/Chargers deliver up to 150% of their name
plate rated wattage for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve
power to reliably support tools and equipment longer.
* Actual duration depends on battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.
Additional top mounted switch/indicator light panel allows easy control and monitoring when Inverter/Charger is
vertically mounted. Activate by setting Operating Mode Switch (located on the front panel) to
“AUTO/REMOTE.” Top panel indicator light function is identical to the front panel indicator lights. Top panel
“AUTO” and “CHRG ONLY” (Charge Only) switch settings are identical to the front panel Operating Mode
Switch settings.
