APS INT2012

Position a 400A fuse link less than 18 in. from the battery in the positive line to protect against high-
current draw that may occur during inverter failure.
2000W PowerVerter APS 12VDC 120V
Inverter/Charger with Auto-Transfer Switching,
Hardwired
MODEL NUMBER: APS2012
Portable 2000W power source for power applications, such as power tools and computers, as a vehicle
inverter, standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS. Ideal for RVs, fleet vehicles and emergency
vehicles.
Description
The APS2012 2000W PowerVerter APS 12V DC 120V 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 2000W of continuous power, 3000W up to one hour, or 4000W 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 APS2012 converts stored power from any 12V battery or automotive DC source to safe,
stable, computer-grade AC power for unlimited runtime. When hardwired to an external 120V AC source,
the unit keeps the user-supplied battery charged via a three-stage 25/100A selectable charging system
while simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment.
When used as a UPS, the APS2012 responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic,
instantaneous transfer to battery-derived AC output. LEDs on the unit indicate load level, battery charge
