The APSX1250 1250W APS X Series 12V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger 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 RVs, over-the-road trucks, fleet vehicles and conversion vans, the
APSX1250 converts stored power from any 12V battery or automotive DC source to safe, stable,
computer-grade AC power and sends it to two C13 outlets for unlimited runtime. When powered by an
external 230V AC source, the unit keeps the user-supplied battery charged via a three-stage 7.5/30A
selectable charging system while simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment.
When used as a UPS, the APSX1250 responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic,
instantaneous transfer to battery-derived AC output. LEDs on the unit indicate AC/DC operational modes,
overload status, DC voltage level, shutdown status and system fault status.

OVERVIEW |
|
| UPC Code | 037332121660 |
|
INPUT |
|
| Nominal Input Voltage(s) Supported | 230V AC |
| Maximum Input Amps / Watts | DC INPUT: Full continuous load – 125A at 12VDC. AC INPUT: 9.3A at 230VAC with full inverter and charger load (3.3A max charger-only / combined input load to support charger and AC output is automatically controllable to 66%- 33%-0% based on AC output loading using the charger limiting set points – see manual for setting instructions) |
| 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 DoubleBoost operation). For automotive applications, professional hardwire installation with 225A minimum battery system fusing is recommended. AC INPUT: 230VAC |
| Input Connection Type | DC INPUT: Set of 2 DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT: IEC-320 C14 inlet connection |

USER INTERFACE, ALERTS & CONTROLS |
|
| Front Panel LEDs | Set of 6 LEDs offer continuous status information on load percentage (6 levels reported) and battery charge level (7 levels reported). See manual for sequences. |
| Switches | 3 position on/off/remote switch enables simple on/off power control plus “auto/remote” setting that enables distant on/off control of the inverter system when used in conjunction with optional APSRM4 accessory when used in inverter mode. In AC uninterruptible power mode, auto/remote setting enables automatic transfer from line power to battery power – to maintain continuous AC power to connected loads. |

LINE / BATTERY TRANSFER |
|
| Transfer Time (Line Power to Battery Mode) | 10 milliseconds (typical – compatible with many computers, servers and networking equipment – verify transfer time compatibility of loads for UPS applications) |
| Low Voltage Transfer to Battery Power | In AC “auto” mode, inverter/charger switches to battery mode as line voltage drops to 144V (user adjustable to 163, 182, 201V – see manual) |
| High Voltage Transfer to Battery Power |
In AC “auto” mode, inverter/charger switches to battery mode as line voltage increases to 272V |
