Electricity - when and where you need it
Trace Engineering has created an inexpensive solution for your small power needs. The new TS Inverter Series efficiently produces quiet, dependable electrical power. Where there is sporadic power or no power at all, the TS provides electricity to operate necessary and everyday appliances: lights, televisions, hand tools, computers, small refrigerators, fans, fax machines, phones, and others. The TS Series Inverter is the solution for your power requirements.

Powerful plus efficient power
The TS Series is flexible. Power to charge the batteries can be supplied from the utility grid, photovoltaic (solar) panels or a generator. The TS Series Inverter converts power from your batteries into 120 volts AC power (230 volts AC on export versions). The TS series optional battery charger automatically directs power to your batteries so its available when and where you need it. The TS Series continuous power rating and high capacity allow it to operate several appliances for hours or days -- our competitors inverters often only can meet their ratings for a few minutes.

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

Optional Features

  • Standby Power (SB) -- Adds a powerful three stage battery charger and 15 amp AC transfer switch.
  • Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) -- Adjusts the battery charger 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 from up to 100 feet away. Includes 50 or 100 feet of cable (phone type cable).
  • Two AC Output Versions -- Standard 120 VAC/ 60 Hertz or export 230 VAC/ 50 Hertz outputs.
  • Two DC Input Versions -- Either 12 VDC or 24 VDC models.
  • AC Outlet -- Choice of standard US type duplex outlet, GFCI type duplex outlet, or a single outlet box.
  • Terminated Battery Cables -- Makes installation easier and maximizes performance.

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 modified sine wave AC power.
  • Easy installation -- desktop, shelf or wall mountable. Connect battery, plug and play!
  • Automatic Transfer to inverter when AC supply is interrupted with sensitive/non sensitive setting.
  • Power saving features include low idle power consumption and search mode.
  • LED Display shows inverter status, charger status, battery level and error conditions.
  • Electronic short circuit protection and 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.
  • Full Automatic Operation -- Once installed the system can last for years with little or no maintenance required
  • Battery cables included.
