MODE L NUMBE R : APS 1250

Description

The APS 1250 1250W PowerVerter APS 12V DC 120V AC Inverter/C harger is a reliable power source for a wide variety of equipment ranging from power

tools and pumps to portable lighting and computer equipment in heavy-load conditions. With no fumes, fuel or excess noise, it’s an excellent alternative to

generator power.

The DC -to-AC inverter features an automatic line-to-battery transfer switch and integrated charging system that allow it to work as a vehicle inverter,

standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS . It delivers 1250W of continuous power, 1875W up to one hour, or 2500W of peak power up to 10 seconds

during equipment startup or cycling. An automatic overload detector, cooling fan and resettable AC circuit breakers protect the unit from damage.

Designed for easy installation in R Vs, over-the-road trucks, fleet vehicles and emergency vehicles, the APS 1250 converts stored power from any 12V battery or

automotive DC source to safe, stable, computer-grade AC power and sends it to two NE MA 5-15R outlets for unlimited runtime. When powered by an external

120V AC source, the unit keeps the user-supplied battery charged via a three-stage 30A charging system while simultaneously delivering AC power to

connected equipment.

When used as a UPS , the APS 1250 responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic, instantaneous transfer to battery-derived AC output. LEDs on the

unit indicate load level, battery charge level, shutdown status and system fault status.
