Specifications

Overview

UPC Code37332121653

Input

Nominal Input Voltage(s) Supported120V AC
Recommended Electrical ServiceDC INPUT: Requires 12VDC input source capable of delivering 125A for the required duration (when used at full continuous capacity - DC requirements increase during OverPower and DoubleBoost operation). For automotive applications, professional hardwire installation with 225A minimum battery system fusing is recommended. AC INPUT: 120VAC
Maximum Input Amps / WattsDC INPUT: Full continuous load - 127A at 12V DC. AC INPUT: 12 amps at 120VAC with full inverter and charger load (6.3A max charger-only)
Input Connection TypeDC INPUT: Set of 2 DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT: NEMA 5-15P input plug
Voltage Compatibility (VAC)120
Voltage Compatibility (VDC)12

User Interface, Alerts & Controls

Front Panel LEDsSet of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (6 levels reported) and battery charge level (7 levels reported). See manual for sequences.
Switches3 position on/off/remote switch enables simple on/off power control plus "auto/remote" setting that enables distant on/off control of the inverter system when used in conjunction with optional APSRM4 accessory when used in inverter mode. In AC uninterruptible power mode, auto/remote setting enables automatic transfer from line power to battery power - to maintain continuous AC power to connected loads.
