It can also be used in conjunction with a generator or any renewable energy source in an off-grid application. In addition to providing new features, the Trace Series improves on the key features that have made the DR Series the most robust and reliable inverter/charger line for backup power and off-grid applications.

The front panel features an ON/OFF membrane switch, status indicator LEDs and a digital display that shows kilowatts when inverting and amps when charging. Other controls are protected by a snap-on cover that prevents settings from being accidentally changed.

Power factor corrected (PFC) charging, combined with a more sophisticated multi-stage battery charging algorithm, reduces electricity draw and generator run-time during generator- powered battery charging and its outstanding thermal performance allows full inverter output power to 50°C (122°F) without derating.

A temperature sensor is included. High surge capacity starts more difficult loads and handles overload conditions reliably. Domestic voltage inverters can be series stacked for 120/240 VAC output using the cable supplied with each inverter. The TR has a durable powder-coated, corrosion-resistant steel chassis and its circuit boards are conformally coated to protect them from corrosion for longer life and improved reliability. Optional accessories include a Remote On/Off Switch with an LED status indicator and a Conduit Box that connects to the DC side of the inverter and accepts ¾-inch, 1-inch or 2-inch conduit.
