SELECT Button

The SELECT button is used to switch the TM500A between the different meters and modes. One of the LEDs located above the buttons illuminate, indicating the active function.

RESET Button

The RESET button is used to change the metering parameters and to reset the CHARGED indicator.

INVERTER ON/OFF Button

The INVERTER ON/OFF button remotely controls the inverter’s ON/ OFF function via the RC4 or RC8 remote control jack. This button duplicates the function of the inverter’s power switch. The LED duplicates the indications of the RC8 remote control. Refer to the RC4/ RC8 documentation (supplied with the cable) for LED indications and modes available (depends on inverter). Remote control cables are available in 10, 25, 50 and 100 foot lengths. This button/LED does not function if a remote control cable is not connected or if the inverter does not support an RC4 or RC8 remote control.
