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 transer and integrated charging
system serves as an extended run UPS, a standalone power source
or an automative 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.

Key Features
-
- RV1512UL serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC
inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated
battery charge
- Supports 120V AC output from a 120V AC line power source
or 12V DC battery sourc
- 16.6 millisecond automatic transfer between line and battery
power supports UPS protection during blackouts and voltage
fluctuations for equipment compatible with a one cycle transfer
tim
- 1500 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode, 1500
watts continuous AC output in AC mod
- Double Boost inverter output supports momentary startup
loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to 10 second
- 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.
- 3 stage, selectable 19/75 amp battery charger with adjustable
settings for wet/gel battery types offers fast, reliable battery
rechargin
- Protected hardwire bolt-down input lugs safely accept heavy
gauge input wiring from attached battery ban
- Protected hardwire output passes 120V line power or inverter
output through to connected equipmen
- Reliability enhanced large-transformer design tested to
UL (USA) and CSA (Canada) standard
- Moisture-resistant construction enables vehicular or marine
operation in high humidity environment
- 3 position operating mode switch supports "AUTO"
mode to enable automatic transfer between DC and AC modes,
CHARGE-ONLY to maintain a full battery charge when AC is present
without auto transfer and SYSTEM OFF setting
- Set of six front panel LEDs display AC/DC operational modes,
overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system
fault statu
- Set of 4 configuration dipswitches support wet/gel battery
charging profiles, adjustable 135/145V high voltage auto transfer
during overvoltages and selectable 75/85/95/105V AC low voltage
auto transfer during brownout
- 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
setting
- 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 failure
- Grounding lug properly connects the inverter/charger system
to earth ground or vehicle grounding syste
- Automatic overload and thermal shutoff safely turns off
inverter as excessive loads or overheating conditions develo
- 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 engage
- Load sensing control dial enables adjustable load threshold
required to automatically turn the inverter on and off in
DC mode as load conditions change
- Includes battery temperature sensor with 20 foot cable
to prolong battery life by adjusting the charge level based
on battery temperatur
- Automatic Generator Starter jack enables user configuration
of automatic generator startup as inverter batteries drop
to 11.5VDC and generator shutoff as inverter batteries are
recharged to 14.1VDC
Typical Applications
- Versatile inverter/charger system with auto-transfer switching
serves as an automotive inverter for RVs, over-the-road trucking,
conversion vans and fleet service vehicles; a standalone alternative
power source for off-grid, alternative energy or export applications
and as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for items compatible
with a 16.6 millisecond transfer time.
