RC4 Remote Control
The optional RC4 remote control unit duplicates the power On/Off Switch on The DR series
inverter/charger, and gives several LED indications.
The on/off switch is a momentary switch. Pressing it alternately turns the unit on and off.
The LED indicator on the RC4 will show the following conditions:
•
On/Off- When the inverter is off the light is off. A solid LED means the unit is on.
•
Search Mode- When the inverter is in the search mode the LED will flash at a rate of two
times per second.
•
Charge Mode- When the unit is in the charge mode, the LED will flash at a rate of five to six
times per second.
•
Error Mode- When the inverter experiences high or low battery voltage, over temp, or
overload conditions, the LED will flash rapidly.
In order for the inverter to recognize the RC4, the unit must be turned on with the RC4 connected.
Parts List
Before installing the RC4 remote, confirm that you received the following items:
•
RC4 remote on/off switch with 50 feet of six conductor wire attached to a standard telephone
plug.
•
Black face plate (1.6” x 3.0”)
•
Two stainless steel Phillips head screws.
If any items are missing contact your Trace dealer for parts.
Installation
Using the face plate as a template, drill 1/16 inch holes for the mounting screws. The switch will
require at least a 15/16 inch hole behind the face plate. Next route the cable through the face plate,
then to the inverter. The last step is to attach the switch to the face plate by pressing it into place.
Plug the RC4’s cable into the COMM port on the inverter and the unit is ready for use.
Note: The RC4 cannot be used with a stacked pair of inverters.
