Reliable Emergency Backup Power
Congratulations on your purchase of the PowerVerter
®
APS700HF Inverter/Charger! The APS700HF
gives you a convenient, reliable source of AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it. It keeps
connected equipment up and productive through all utility power problems (blackouts, brownouts and
high voltages) by inverting DC power from user-supplied batteries into AC power. When utility power
is present, the APS700HF automatically passes through power to your equipment while simultaneously
recharging your connected battery bank. Built-in surge suppression provides connected equipment with
additional protection. The APS700HF is the clean, quiet emergency backup power alternative to gas
generators—with no fuel, fumes, or noise to deal with!
