Mounting - BLUE SKY IPN ProRemote Installation And Operation Manual

Blue Sky Energy – IPN ProRemote

➢ When Backlight is on, the IPN ProRemote can draw up to 100mA from the charge controller. For proper
operation of the shunt current measurement circuits, total voltage difference between the IPN ProRemote circuit
common and the shunt must be kept to less than 1.0V when Backlight is on and maximum charge or discharge
current is flowing in the system. If long network/power cables are used, wire size may need to be increased to keep
voltage difference between the "COM test point" and "SHUNT –" on the back of the IPN ProRemote to within
1.0V or less at all times. Table 3 below shows wire size for a more conservative recommended voltage drop limit
of 0.50V maximum.

MOUNTING

➢ CAUTION:. The unit is designed to mount into a standard US duplex wall mount box. It is not watertight and must
be protected from rain, snow and excessive moisture.
