Overview
The APSINT2424 2400W APS INT Series 24V 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 2400W of continuous power, 3600W up to one hour, or 4800W 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, commercial and fleet vehicles, emergency vehicles and construction equipment, the APSINT2424 converts stored power from any 24V battery or automotive DC source to safe, stable, computer-grade AC power for unlimited runtime. When hardwired to an external 230V 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 APSINT2424 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.

Specifications
OVERVIEW
| UPC Code | 037332090324 |
INPUT
| Nominal Input Voltage(s) Supported | 230V AC |
| Maximum Input Amps / Watts | DC INPUT: Full continuous load - 112A at 24VDC. AC INPUT: 17 amps at 230VAC with full inverter and charger load (7A 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 24VDC input source capable of delivering 112A 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 300A minimum battery system fusing is recommended. |
| Input Connection Type | DC INPUT: Set of 2 DC bolt-down terminals. AC INPUT: Hardwire via built in junction box with cover plate |
| Voltage Compatibility (VAC) | 230 |
| Voltage Compatibility (VDC) | 24 |

| Frequency Compatibility | 50 Hz |
| Pure Sine Wave Output | No |
| Nominal Output Voltage(s) Supported | 230V |
| Output Receptacles | Hardwire |
| Continuous Output Capacity (Watts) | 2400 |
| Peak Output Capacity (Watts) | 4800 |
| Output Voltage Regulation | LINE POWER (AC): Maintains 230V nominal sine wave output from line power source. INVERTER POWER (AC): Maintains PWM sine wave output voltage of 230 VAC (+/-5%). |
| Output Frequency Regulation | 50 Hz (+/- 0.3 Hz) |
| Overload Protection | Includes 10A input breaker dedicated to the charging system and 15A output breaker for AC output loads. |

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. |
