Description
The APSX2012SW 2000W APS X Series 12V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger is a reliable power source for
a wide variety of power tools, computers, audio/video components and other sensitive electronics at
mobile, emergency and remote sites. With no fumes, fuel or excess noise, it’s an excellent alternative to
generator power.
The DC-to-AC pure sine-wave inverter delivers network-grade power to sensitive electronics. Its automatic
line-to-battery transfer switch and integrated charging system allow the unit to work as a vehicle inverter,
standalone AC power source or extended-run UPS. It delivers 2000W of continuous power or 4000W of
peak power 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 and emergency vehicles, the
APSX2012SW 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 230V AC source, the unit
keeps the user-supplied battery charged via a three-stage 6-60A selectable charging system while
simultaneously delivering AC power to connected equipment.
When used as a UPS, the APSX2012SW responds to blackouts and brownouts with an automatic,
instantaneous transfer to battery-derived AC output. LEDs on the unit indicate battery voltage, charger
and inverter status.

OVERVIEW
UPC Code
037332161345
INPUT
Nominal Input Voltage(s) Supported
230V AC
Maximum Input Amps / Watts
DC INPUT: Full continuous load - 240A at 12VDC. AC INPUT: 17 amps at 230VAC with full inverter and charger
load (8.7A 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 12VDC input source capable of delivering 240A 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 400A minimum battery system fusing is recommended.
