- Specifications
Tripp Lite's APSX1250 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. Supplies
up to 1250 watts of continuous 230V AC power to 2 AC outlets
from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. OverPower inverter
output feature temporarily provides up to 150% of the continuous
output for up to 1-60 minutes and DoubleBoost 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 AC cable is connected
to a live wall socket, commercial power passes through to connected
equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, selectable
7.5/30 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 utility 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 separate). 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
- APSX1250 serves as an automotive or stationary DC-to-AC
inverter with automatic line-to-battery transfer and integrated
battery charger
- Supports 230V AC output from a 230V AC line power source
or 12V DC battery source
- 10 millisecond automatic transfer between line and battery
power supports UPS protection during blackouts and voltage
fluctuations for equipment compatible with a 1/2 cycle transfer
time
- 1250 watts continuous AC output in inverter mode
- Double Boost™ inverter output supports momentary
startup loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to
10 seconds (see specification chart)
- 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 7.5/30 amp battery charger with adjustable
settings for wet/gel battery types offers fast, reliable battery
recharging
- Protected hardwire bolt-down input lugs safely accept heavy
gauge input wiring from attached battery bank
- Dual C13 output receptacles pass 120V line power or inverter
output through to connected equipment
- Reliability enhanced large-transformer design with secure
mounting flanges and protected DC wiring terminals
- Moisture-resistant construction enables vehicular or marine
operation in high humidity environments
- 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 settings
- Set of six front panel LEDs display AC/DC operational modes,
overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system
fault status
- Set of 4 configuration dipswitches support wet/gel battery
charging profiles, charger enable/inhibit, and selectable
144/163/182/201V AC low voltage auto transfer during brownouts
- 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
- Resettable 5A charger AC input breaker and resettable 6A
AC output breaker and automatic 2 speed cooling fan protect
the inverter from load and temperature related failures
- Grounding lug properly connects the inverter/charger system
to earth ground or vehicle grounding system
- Automatic overload and thermal shutoff safely turns off
inverter as excessive loads or overheating conditions develop
- 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
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 10 millisecond transfer time.

| Recommended Electrical
Service |
DC 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 Double Boost operation). For automotive
applications, professional hardwire installation with
225A minimum battery system fusing is recommended.
