Trace Model: DR Series: Inverter / Charger

Model: DR Series

The solution: a low cost, reliable and easy to use inverter.

A 1500, 2400, or 3600 watt continuous output inverter with high power battery charger included.
High efficiency. High surge capacity and low idle current.
Low power search mode.
Quiet operation.
Three-stage charger with battery type selector.
Automatic low-battery protection.
Fast switching for standby power system (SPS) installations.
Stackable for 120/240VAC, three wire power.

Convenience: Enjoy using standard home electrical appliances. Your DR1512/1524, DR2412/2424, and DR3624 converts 12 or 24 volt battery energy into utility type power. Hand tools, lights, televisions, microwaves, computers -- almost all household appliances can be powered by your batteries. This even includes appliances such as refrigerators that demand high start-up power.

Automation: Plug into utility power or rev-up your generator and the DR model inverter starts charging your batteries and automatically transfers your AC input power to your AC electrical system. It charges rapidly and completely without overcharging and maintains the full charge indefinitely. The high power sychronous-rectification design charges batteries in three stages -- bulk, absorption, and then float. When your AC input power fails, transfer to inverter power is also automatic and typically within 16 milliseconds.

Protection: For optimum battery charging, a unique temperature compensation circuit utilizes an optional remote probe to automatically adjust charge voltage to battery temperature. In the inverter mode, if your batteries run seriously low, an adjustable over-discharge protection circuit automatically turns the inverter off to protect your batteries. Other design features protect against undercharging, overload, and accidental connection of an AC source to an AC outlet.

Easy to use: The front panel has easy to understand LEDs, that provide status information, and adjustments which control functions such as load sensitivity, over-discharge protection, maximum charge rate and more.

Rugged: Designed for maximum service, all the DR Series inverters offer a powder-coated chassis, stainless-steel fasteners, conformal-coated circuit board, and gold-plated connectors. AC wiring terminates cleanly inside the wall-mountable chassis.

Versatile: Remote prime power, utility back-up power systems, industrial applications, standby power systems (SPS/UPS).
