Description
Tripp Lite's APSX6048VR 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 6000 watts of continuous 208 or 230V sine wave AC power from any 48V battery or
automotive DC source. When hardwire AC input is energized, commercial power passes through to
connected equipment and the battery set is recharged via 3 stage, 23/90 amp charging system. In UPS
mode, the APS system responds to blackouts and severe 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, and
sine wave AC output in inverter and UPS backup modes. Built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
corrects line power AC brownouts and overvoltages without using battery power during battery charging
and UPS standby 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 (part# 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.

Features
● Supports 230V AC output from a 230V AC line power source or 48V DC battery source
● 6000W continuous sinewave AC output in inverter mode
● Double Boost output supports momentary start-up loads up to 200% of the continuous rating for up to
10 seconds (see specification chart) - OverPower output supports longer duration overloads to 150% for
up to 60 seconds

1/4
● 3-stage, selectable 23/90 amp battery charger with adjustable settings for wet/gel battery types
● 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 6 front panel LEDs display continuous status information
● Set of 4 dip switches support AC input selection of 230V, selectable 50 /60Hz frequency, and selectable
full or half cycle transfer times
● Set of 4 dip switches support wet/gel battery charging profiles, adjustable 260/270V (230V) high voltage
auto transfer during overvoltages and selectable 150/60V / 170/180V (230V) AC low voltage auto
transfer during brownouts
● Set of 4 additional dip switches support battery equalization program and battery charger low / high
settings
● Automatic overload and thermal (overheating) shutoff
● Front panel remote control connector enables remote off/on switching (APSRM4 sold separately)
● Load sensing control dial enables adjustable load threshold required to automatically turn the inverter
on and off in DC mode as load conditions change
● Automatic Generator Starter jack enables user configuration of automatic generator start-up as inverter
batteries drop to 23.0 VDC and generator shutoff as inverter batteries are recharged to 28.2 VDC.
● Remote battery temperature sensing connection function prolongs battery life by adjusting the charge
float voltage level based on battery temperature

OVERVIEW

UPC Code 037332137838

INPUT

Maximum Input Amps / Watts DC INPUT: Full continuous load - 145A at 48VDC. AC INPUT: 30 amps at 208/230VAC with full inverter and charger
load

Recommended Electrical Service DC INPUT: Requires 48VDC input source capable of delivering 138A 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 250A minimum battery system fusing is recommended.

Input Connection Type DC INPUT: Set of DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT: Hardwire via built in terminal strip with cover plate
