Introduction

Indicators and Controls

All operating controls and indicators are located on the front panel of the remote control.

ON/OFF Control The inverter portion of the inverter/ charger can be switched OFF or ON using the remote control. The standby charger in the inverter is automatic and always ready and available for charging whenever AC power is applied.

Meters The RC/GS and RC7 feature several meters that monitor the operating conditions of the power center. These meters include: Average Shunt Amps, Battery Voltage, Inverter/Charger Current, AC Output Voltage, AC Input Amps, and Estimated Battery Capacity.

Controls The RC/GS and RC7 allow the inverter to be switched ON or OFF with the press of a button on the remote. The RC/GS and RC7 can be used to configure the inverter/ charger to the specific system and preferences including Battery Capacity, Battery Type, Charger Rate, Shorepower Amps, and LCD screen Contrast. In addition, the RC/GS starts and stops the generator automatically or manually, allows the setting of generator make and model, sets a “quiet time” during which the generator will not start automatically, and has manual overrides for auto gen start.

Status Monitoring The RC/GS and RC7 monitor operating conditions, including the AC supply, inverter operation, charger operation, battery condition, and (on the RC/GS only) generator condition.
