EMOTE CONTROL AND PROGRAMMING CENTRE
RCC-02/03
This accessory is an important complement to the VarioString. It can be connected via one of the
two communication connectors "Com. Bus" (8) (see chap. 4.1) thanks to the cable supplied with the
remote control.
The remote control RCC-02/03 is compatible with the following equipment:

VarioTrack
MPPT solar charge controller

VarioString
MPPT solar charge controller

Xtender
inverter/chargers
When it is connected to at least one of these three devices, it also allows interacting with the other
peripherals of an Xtender system, i.e.:
 Battery Status Processor
BSP-500/BSP1200

RS 232 communication interface:
Xcom-232i
 Communication sets:
Xcom-LAN/-GSM
 Communication module:
Xcom-SMS
It allows the following functionalities for all the connected and compatible equipment:
 Setting the various operating parameters for the connected equipment.
 Displaying the operating synoptic for each part of the equipment.
 Displaying several operating quantities measured or calculated (Current/Voltage/Power,
etc.) for each apparatus.
 Updating the software or implementing tailored software.
 Backing up/restoring system parameters (configuration).
 Loading a parameter file (configuration).
 Storing error message history for each device.
 Recording VarioString(s) data and other information essential for the system (see chapter
“Data recorder” in the RCC manual).
RCC-02
RCC-03
When the remote control RCC-02/03 is connected to another compatible device
(Xtender, VarioString, BSP, Xcom or other) with the same communication bus it is possible
that the software versions are not compatible. It is highly recommended to make a
software update of all components in the system in order to guarantee all functionalities.
Therefore, before starting the setup of the device, download the latest software version
from our website: www.studer-innotec.com on an SD card. Follow the instructions in the
RCC manual for a successful installation.
These connectors must be used only to connect a compatible Xtender accessory.
