Tripp Lite Utility/
Work Truck DC-to-AC Inverters
Quiet, Economical Mobile Power...
Congratulations! You've purchased one of the most advanced, feature-rich Inverters designed for utility/work truck applications. Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck
Inverters provide quiet, convenient mobile power for every application: computers, TVs, electronic test equipment, power tools, pumps, compressors, blowers,
lights, power supplies, radios, cell phone chargers and more. Since Tripp Lite Inverters draw power directly from vehicle batteries, they are the quiet, economical
power alternative in residential environments or late-night job sites-without the noise, fumes, capital outlays, maintenance costs and occasional power overkill
of generators! For generator-equipped trucks, they provide crews with the option of silent power.*
...With Optional Power-Boosting Functionality
In today's cost-cutting climate, fleet managers must get the most out of every vehicle-keeping trucks in the field longer, operating an ever-growing array of
power tools. Standard vehicle alternators and batteries, however, often can't keep up with the increased power demand. When alternators recharge batteries at
a slower rate than they are discharged, that leaves a power deficit for the next day's jobs and dramatically shortens battery service life. Tripp Lite Utility/Work
Truck Inverters, with the addition of a built-in battery charger, help to overcome this power deficit. When optionally connected to shore power at the end of the
day, Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck Inverters quickly and safely recharge vehicle batteries, ensuring that maximum power is available for the next day's service
schedule.** In addition, Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck Inverters out-muscle other inverters on the market with peak power-handling tough loads like motors,
compressors and incandescent lamps with ease.
Rugged Reliability Stands Up to Demanding Service Fleet Applications
• Powers everything from lights and power tools to sensitive testing equipment with frequency-controlled output
• Operates under the most severe conditions with heavy-duty, weather-resistant construction which meets tough marine standards for shock, vibration and
moisture resistance***
• Enhances crew safety in moist environments with dual GFCI outlets (on select models)
• Delivers more AC power from your truck's system with high-efficiency DC-to-AC inversion
• Saves precious vehicle space with compact cabinet size
Battery Charger (Built-In) Provides Optional Overnight Charging
• Boosts battery to full charge for next day's jobs (on a routine or "as-needed" basis)
• Extends battery service life with safe, 3-stage charging and battery temperature-sensing function (featured on select models)
Remote Module (Included) Enables Convenient Control and Monitoring From Vehicle Cab
• Monitor battery voltage level and Inverter operating status
• Activate or deactivate Inverter with ease
* See "Utilize Automatic Generator Starter Capability" in the Configuration section for details. ** Depending on power needs, users may wish to complement a Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck Inverter
with a larger vehicle alternator and one or more auxiliary batteries. *** Tripp Lite Utility/Work Truck Inverters are moisture-resistant, not waterproof. Copyright © 2005 Tripp Lite.

Page 6: Battery Selection
Select a battery or system of batteries that will provide your Inverter with proper DC voltage and an adequate amp-hour capacity to power your application. Even though Tripp Lite Inverters are highly efficient at DC-to-AC inversion, their rated output capacities are limited by the total amp-hour capacity of connected batteries and the support of your vehicle’s alternator if the engine is kept running. -
Page 7: Mounting
Tripp Lite recommends permanent mounting of your Inverter. User must supply mounting hardware and is responsible for determining if the hardware and mounting surface are suitable to support the weight of the Inverter. Contact Tripp Lite if you require further assistance in mounting your Inverter. -
Page 8: Battery Connection
Battery Connection Connect your Inverter to your batteries using the following procedures: • Connect DC Wiring: Though your Inverter is high-efficiency transformer electricity, its rated output capacity is limited by the length and gauge of the DC Connectors cabling running from the battery to the unit. -
