installed. This is because it might be falsely assumed that after the AC main has been shut
off the panel is no longer "hot", when it may still be, due to the automatic functioning of the
inverter. A set of AC distribution panel warning labels has been provided in the installation
kit. Choose the preferred black or white background label and affix it in a clearly visible
location at the panel.

CAUTION:

 The AC outlets and AC hardwire output on the inverter remain “live” when derived

from an external source, even when the inverter is shut off.

J) Remote Panel (Optional)

Remote monitoring of inverter functions, as well as inverter output activation/shut-off, may
be obtained using model ICR-1 Remote Panel, available from NEWMAR. The panel duplicates
all of the LED status indicators (discussed in section V following) which are on the front
panel and incorporates a secondary on-off switch for the inverter.

FIGURE 4: Remote Panel Installation

The panel face and mounting hole pattern have been designed for an exact fit within a du-
plex outlet box. If preferred, it may be mounted directly to a bulkhead with the two provided
black-oxide wood screws. Note the cut-out dimensions specified in Figure 4 and take special
care when making the cut-out as the tolerances between the mounting holes and rear-
mounted circuit board are quite small.

The ICR-1 is supplied with 25 feet of cable. If additional length is required, contact the
factory for an extension cable.

The inverter/charger is supplied from the factory with an in-line connector assembly which
is located in the same compartment as the AC output wires. The connector  is a telephone
jack type  and has a “dummy” plug attached which enables all of the inverter functions
when no remote panel is used. Remove and 

save

 this plug prior to attaching the remote
