Model: (TS) Tiger Series     

Low Cost, Reliable and Easy to Operate Inverter for Homes, Cabins, or Offices!

Electricity - when and where you need it.
Trace Engineering has created an inexpensive solution for your small power needs. The new Tiger Series Inverter produces efficient, quiet and dependable electrical power. Where there are power outages or in remote areas with no power at all, the TS inverter provides standard electricity to operate necessary and everyday appliances such as lights, televisions, hand tools, computers, small refrigerators, fans, fax machines, phones, for small homes or offices. The TS Series Inverter is the solution for all of your small power requirements.

Powerful plus efficient power.
Flexibility is a main feature of the TS inverter. Depending on the options chosen, the inverter package can be used for either backup or remote applications. Power can be supplied to a batter from the utility grid, photovoltaic (solar) panels, wind or engine generator. The TS inverter charges, regulates, and converts DC battery power into standard household electricity, providing reliable power day and night for homes and office appliances. The TS series optional battery charger automatically directs power to your batteries so its available when and where you need it. The TS series high continuous power rating allows it to operate several appliances for hours or days. Competitors inverters may only meet their ratings for a few minutes.

Everything in one box.
The TS Series is more than an inverter. The TS is a complete package. It provides most of the components necessary for a reliable power system. (Does not include battery, generator, solar panel, etc.)

Optional Features:

• Standby Option (SB) - Adds a powerful three stage battery charger and 15 amp AC transfer relay.
• Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) - Adjusts the battery charger automatically based on the battery temperature - highly recommended for sealed type batteries. (Field installable)
• Remote Control - Allows you to turn on or off the inverter and check its status up to 50 or 100 feet away. RC8/50, RC8/100
• Two Power Output Versions - Standard 120 VAC / 60 Hz or export 230 VAC / 50 Hz outputs.
• AC Outlet - Choice of standard US type duplex outlet, GFCI type duplex outlet, or a single European type cover plate.

Features for smooth operation.
The TS series inverter/charger includes the superior features that Trace customers have come to expect:

• Quiet Operation - No more sleepless nights listening to your generator.
• Microprocessor controlled - State-of-the-art modified sine-wave AC power output.
• Easy Installation - Desktop, shelf or wall mountable with internally located connections.
• Automatic transfer - The inverter quickly provides power when utility supply is interrupted.
• Power savings - Includes low idle power consumption and search mode features.
• LED indicators - Shows inverter status, charger status, battery level and error conditions.
• Electronic short circuit protection plus - A 15 amp AC input circuit breaker prevents damage from overloading.
• Low voltage cutoff - Prevents damage to batteries from over-discharge. User selectable for deep or shallow discharge cycles. Time delay prevents false tripping.
• Full automatic operation - Once installed the system can last for years with little or no maintenance required.
• Battery cables included
