Description
Tripp Lite's RV1512UL Inverter/Charger is the quiet alternative to gas generators - with no fumes, fuel or
noise to deal with! It provides equipment with utility- or generator-supplied AC electricity filtered through
premium ISOBAR surge protection. This DC-to-AC inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and
integrated charging system serves as an extended run UPS, a standalone power source or an automotive
inverter suitable for rugged RV applications. Supplies up to 1500 watts of continuous 120V AC power from
any 12V DC battery or automotive DC source. OverPower TM inverter output feature temporarily provides
up to 150% of the continuous output for 1-60 minutes, and DoubleBoost TM inverter output feature
delivers up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds, providing the extra power needed to
cold start heavy-duty tools and motorized equipment. When hardwire AC input is energized, commercial
power passes through to connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, selectable
19/75 amp charging system. In UPS mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and voltage
fluctuations with a near instantaneous automatic transfer to battery-derived AC output. Includes a set of
high current DC input terminals for simple installation (user supplies batteries and cabling - see owner's
manual for recommendations). Passes sine wave utilty or generator power during battery charging and
UPS line power operation, plus efficient PWM sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes.
Reliable large transformer design, with frequency control powers resistive electronic loads or large
inductive motors, compressors and other items with high current needs on startup. Optional APSRM4
wired remote power switch with full status LEDs provides remote power inverter on/off switching and
continuous status information (APSRM4 sold separately). Supports an unlimited amount of runtime with
any number of user-supplied batteries connected. Highly adaptable to a variety of applications and site
conditions with adjustable charger settings for wet/gel battery types and selectable line to battery power
transfer voltages.

q
OverPower inverter output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for 1-60 minutes under ideal
battery and temperature conditions. (For best results, utilize OverPower usage for as short of a duration
as possible, ensure battery bank and cabling is able to provide full nominal DC voltage under load and
allow inverter/charger to fully cool before and after OverPower usage.)

Set of 4 additional configuration dipswitches support 4 levels of charger limiting relative to output load
size, a battery equalization program and battery charger low/high settings
q
Resettable 25A charger AC input breaker and resettable 20A AC output breaker and automatic 2 speed
cooling fan protect the inverter from load and temperature related failures
q
Grounding lug properly connects the inverter/charger system to earth ground or vehicle grounding
system
q
Automatic overload and thermal shutoff safely turns off inverter as excessive loads or overheating
conditions develop
q
Front panel remote control connector enables remote off/on switching (requires APSRM4 switch
accessory). Optional APSRM4 accessory also includes user configurable jacks to support inverter
shutoff or startup as a vehicle ignition is engaged
