Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual
RC6 Remote Control
The optional RC6 remote control unit duplicates the Power On/Off Switch on the RV Series Inverter/charger. It connects directly to the port labeled REMOTE CONTROL on the front of the inverter using a standard phone jack. You are recommended to use the included Xantrex remote cable because of its high quality cable and connectors.
RC6 Front Panel
The front panel of the RC6 monitors the inverter’s output and shows the status of several different modes of the inverter. The bar graph on the far left shows battery voltage from 10.5–15 volts. The bar graph in the middle of the panel indicates DC amps in either the inverter or charger modes and will automatically switch between them as the RV Series Inverter changes modes. The four error lights on the lower right of this graph use the bottom four LEDs to indicate four different error conditions: High Battery, Low Battery, Over Temp, and Over Load. One of these four lights will blink when an error condition occurs. The Bulk Charge and Float Charge lights will blink slowly to indicate the inverter is in either the bulk or float stage of the charging process.
In order for the inverter to recognize the RC6, the unit must be turned off and then on with the RC6 connected.
Installation
Using the faceplate as a template, drill 1/16-inch holes for the mounting screws. The cutout for the RC6 should be 4-1/8” wide by 4-3/16” high by at least 15/16” deep. Next route the cable through the faceplate, then to the inverter. The last step is to attach the switch to the faceplate by pressing it into place. Plug the RC6’s cable into the port labeled REMOTE CONTROL on the inverter, turn the inverter off and then on and the pair will be ready for service.
