➢ 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.

SYMPTOM
PROBABLE CAUSE
ITEMS TO EXAMINE OR CORRECT
Display blank
No power
Charge controller not properly powered.
Network cable faulty, not plugged in or cable pins do not swap per Figure
7.
Display turns on, but
battery voltage shows – –
.–V rather than a number
IPN ProRemote not communicating
with charge controller
Network cable faulty.
Charge controller or IPN ProRemote may have locked up, re-boot by
momentarily removing battery and PV power from charge controller.
One charge controller is not set to Master, or more than one charge
controller is set to Master.
Controller-to-controller network cable not wired A-to-A, B-to-B, or wires
are open or short.
