RC6 Remote Control
The optional RC6 remote control unit duplicates the Power On/Off Switch on the RV Series
Inverter/charger. It connects directly to the port labeled REMOTE CONTROL on the front of the
inverter using a standard phone jack. You are recommended to use the included Xantrex remote
cable because of its high quality cable and connectors.
RC6 Front Panel
The front panel of the RC6 monitors the inverter’s output and shows the status of several different
modes of the inverter. The bar graph on the far left shows battery voltage from 10.5–15 volts. The
bar graph in the middle of the panel indicates DC amps in either the inverter or charger modes
and will automatically switch between them as the RV Series Inverter changes modes. The four
error lights on the lower right of this graph use the bottom four LEDs to indicate four different error
conditions: High Battery, Low Battery, Over Temp, and Over Load. One of these four lights will
blink when an error condition occurs. The Bulk Charge and Float Charge lights will blink slowly to
indicate the inverter is in either the bulk or float stage of the charging process.
In order for the inverter to recognize the RC6, the unit must be turned off and then on with the
RC6 connected.
Installation
Using the faceplate as a template, drill 1/16-inch holes for the mounting screws. The cutout for the
RC6 should be 4-1/8” wide by 4-3/16” high by at least 15/16” deep. Next route the cable through
the faceplate, then to the inverter. The last step is to attach the switch to the faceplate by pressing
it into place. Plug the RC6’s cable into the port labeled REMOTE CONTROL on the inverter, turn
the inverter off and then on and the pair will be ready for service.
