Trace™ Series:off-grid and battery-basedBattery-based inverter/charger systems are ideal for remote locations where off-grid power is required, or for backup when the grid goes down.

The Trace Series is an economical power conversion solution that provides dependable electricity to essential loads during a power outage.

When the going gets tough, the tough get steady power.

What you want to know:

The Trace™ Series is designed to operate with total reliability,even in tough and rugged environments:

Based on the proven robustness of the DR Series, 80,000 of which are operating in the harshest environments of Africa, Latin America, and throughout the world• Circuit boards are conformally-coated, protecting them from corrosion for longer life and improved reliability • Chassis is durable, powder coated, corrosion resistant steel

Better thermal performance allows full output power to 50°C (122°F) without de-rating

Pin-sized vent holes prevent pests from getting inside and building nests

Owners enjoy superior electrical performance

A more sophisticated multi-stage battery charging algorithm • Charger turns off once batteries are fully charged, reducing energy bills• Battery life is prolonged because batteries are not continually held at float voltage

Power factor corrected (PFC) charging• Electrical draw is reduced by up to 30% less AC input current, while delivering the same DC charging current• A better savings/value equation – less input power per amp of charge current (generator fuel costs), with maximum available AC power for loads

Reduced electrical noise and interference with TV’s and radios• Trace Series inverter-chargers are FCC Class B Compliant with necessary EMI filtering components

Simplified and integrated system execution

Complete system solution with modular components• Trace Series Inverter/Chargers are bundled with a plug-in battery temperature sensor, which automatically fine tunes the charging process in relation to temperature • Bundled components mean fewer pieces to remember, fewer pieces to order, and fewer pieces to organize on site

Digital display shows kilowatts (kW) when inverting and amps (A) when charging, and incorporates a robust ON/OFF membrane switch and status indicators• Simplified controls with a snap-on cover that protects settings from being accidentally changed

Trace™ Series: steady power inthe toughest places
