RC7 & RC7GS Remote Controls
2
All operating controls and indicators for the RC7 and RC7GS are located on
the front panel of the remote control.The inverter, software Rev. 1.3x must be
installed in both the inverter and remote. Refer to the instructions in the RVU-2
Software Upgrade Kit manual if an upgrade is required.
NOTE:The RC7 and RC7GS are identical remote controls; however, the RC7GS
has additional features for controlling a generator.These features are noted in
this manual as available for the “RC7GS only.”
On/Off Control
The inverter portion of the inverter/charger can be switched OFF or ON
using the remote control.The standby charger in the inverter is automatic and
always ready and available for charging whenever ac power is applied.
Meters
The RC7 and RC7GS remotes feature several meters that monitor the
operating conditions of the power center.These meters include: Average Shunt
Amps, Battery Voltage, Inverter-Charger Current, AC Output Voltage, AC Input
Amps, Battery Temperature, Transformer Temperature, FET Temperature, and
Estimated Battery Capacity.
Controls
The RC7 and RC7GS allow the inverter to be switched ON or OFF with the
press of a push-button on the remote. Both devices can be used to configure the
inverter/charger to the specific system and preferences including Battery
Capacity, Battery Type, Charger Rate, Low Battery Cutout, Shore Power Amps,
External Shunt, Fuelgauge Cutout, and Display Contrast. In addition, the RC7GS
starts and stops of the genset automatically or manually, allows the setting of
generator make and model, sets a “quiet time” during which the genset will not
start automatically, and has manual overrides for auto gen start.
Status Monitoring
The RC7 and RC7GS remotes monitor operating conditions including: the
ac supply, inverter operation, charger operation, battery condition, generator
condition (RC7GS only), Time Left to Run, and Time Left to Charge..
