Connecting the Remote

CAUTION: When connecting battery power to the inverter, all battery

negative connections must be connected prior to the battery posi-

tive connections. When removing battery power from the inverter,

the battery positive should be removed before any battery negative

connections are disconnected. This prevents any communication

chips/lines from becoming the DC return path to the battery—causing

permanent damage to all connected accessories.

Summation: Ensure all battery negative circuits are always con-

nected before connecting or disconnecting battery positive.

Route the remote cable between the remote and the inverter/charger. This

25' cable is a 4-wire telephony standard with RJ11 connectors on each

end. A standard telephone cable (with 4 conductors) may be substituted

if the provided remote cable cannot be used.

Connect the remote cable to the inverter/charger's Remote port (blue

label). Refer to Figure 2-3.

Connect the inverter to the batteries, but ensure the inverter is off and

that no AC power is connected to the inverter.

While monitoring the front of the remote, connect the other end of the re-

mote cable into the RJ11 jack on the back side of the remote (Figure 2-3).

Immediately upon connecting the remote cable the LEDs will illuminate

as the unit goes through a self-test. After the initial self-test, text should

appear with a system status message indicating the current state of

the inverter/charger. If not, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Next, mount the remote to the desired surface or to the bezel (using

the two supplied #6 x

for setup.
