Remote Operation
The RV Series Inverter/Charger is designed to operate stand alone or with a
remote panel. The supported remote panels are the RC/GS, RC7, and RC6. The
RC/GS enables advanced monitoring as well as configuration of the inverter/
charger and Automatic Generator Start feature. The RC7 offers inverter/charger
monitoring and configuration. RC6 is a basic status monitoring device with an on/
off button to enable or disable the inverter. Both the RC6 and RC7 connect to the
inverter/charger with a standard phone cord.
Stand-Alone Operation
When it is powered on, the RV Series Inverter/Charger performs a self-diagnostic
routine during which the indicator light on the front of the unit flickers red and
green. During this short boot-up interval, you will also hear a relay click. After
performing the self-diagnostic routine and the indicator light has stopped flashing,
the inverter/charger is ready for operation.
The inverter/charger features a front panel switch used to enable or disable the
inverter. When the switch is in the
ON
position, the inverter is enabled and will
either provide steady 120Vac or send out pulses if search sense mode is enabled.
See “Search Mode” for more information. When the switch is
OFF
, the inverter/
charger begins charging if qualified AC power (power that is within a usable
voltage range—above 70 V) is connected to the inverter/charger input.
If qualified AC power (from shore power or a generator) is applied to the unit it
will transfer from inverter power to AC input power after approximately five
seconds and begin charging the batteries and powering any additional AC loads.
Because the charger is enabled by default, the unit is always ready to charge your
battery bank when qualified AC power is present.
Search Mode
The RV Series Inverter/Charger features an adjustable search sense mode. This
mode minimizes power drain by reducing the inverter’s output to small test pulses
when there is no load connected. These pulses are used to detect the presence of a
load. When a load is detected the inverter’s output goes to full voltage. The
sensitivity of the detection threshold is adjustable.
The RV Series Inverter/Charger’s search sense threshold can only be set using the
Set Idle menu on the optional RC/GS or RC7 remote. However, once the mode is
set the remote may then be removed and the inverter will retain the settings.
Example With Set Idle set to detect a 40-watt load, a 50-watt load will bring the unit to full
output voltage. However, a 30-watt load will leave the inverter in its energy-
saving search sense mode. If the sensitivity is increased by changing Set Idle to
20, a 30-watt load will bring the inverter out of the search sense mode, while a 10-
watt load will not.
