RV-C Introduction
The PD1600 Series Inverter was designed to include RV-C communi-
cations capability. RV-C is an industry developed communications
protocol that is used in many RV multiplexing systems. The PD1600
Series Inverters were released with limited functionality to turn on/off
the inverter and report back basic operating parameters. Additional
functionality will be added to the PD1600 Series Inverters as required
to operate with modern RV multiplexing systems. See chart below for
the current list of compatible Data Groups.
