IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed
during the installation and maintenance of this product.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to ensure the safe installation and
operation of this product, the following safety symbols have been placed
throughout this manual to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety
instructions.
WARNING - A dangerous voltage or condition exists in this area.
Use extreme caution when performing these tasks.
CAUTION - This procedure is critical to the safe installation or
operation of the unit. Follow these instructions closely.
NOTE - This statement is important. Follow instructions closely.
•All electrical work must be done in accordance with local, national,
and/or international electrical codes.
•Before installing or using this device, read all instructions and cautionary
markings located in (or on) the manual, the controller, the batteries,
and the PV array.
•Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or liquids of any type. This
product is designed only for indoor mounting.
•To reduce the chance of short-circuits when installing or working with
the inverter, the batteries, or the PV array, use insulated tools.
•Remove all jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc., while
installing this system. This will greatly reduce the chance of accidental
exposure to live circuits.
•The inverter contains more than one live circuit (batteries, PV
array, generator, etc.). Power may be present at more than one source.
•This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to
repair this unit.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Features
The RC7 and RC7GS (Generator Start) are control units that allow remote
operation of any RV Series Inverter/Chargers rated from 2000 to 3000 watts.
NOTE: The inverter and remote control must have software version 1.3x.
The RC7 and RC7GS feature:
•Simple menu driven programming for full control of all inverter/charger
functions
•A three-level menu to prevent accidental setting changes
•Meters to display voltage and current
•RJ11 phone jack connection to inverter
•Internal memory to retain inverter/charger menu settings even with a
loss of power
•An Intelligent battery fuel gauge displaying percent of battery charge
and the time left to run
•Error message and informative information displays used to optimize
system performance
•Remote ON/OFF inverter operation

All operating controls and indicators for the RC7 and RC7GS are located on
the front panel of the remote control. The inverter, software Rev. 1.3x must be
installed in both the inverter and remote. Refer to the instructions in the RVU-2
Software Upgrade Kit manual if an upgrade is required.
NOTE: The RC7 and RC7GS are identical remote controls; however, the RC7GS
has additional features for controlling a generator. These features are noted in
this manual as available for the “RC7GS only.”
On/Off Control
The inverter portion of the inverter/charger can be switched OFF or ON
using the remote control. The standby charger in the inverter is automatic and
always ready and available for charging whenever AC power is applied.
Meters
The RC7 and RC7GS remotes feature several meters that monitor the
operating conditions of the power center. These meters include: Average Shunt
Amps, Battery Voltage, Inverter/Charger Current, AC Output Voltage, AC Input
Amps, Battery Temperature, Transformer Temperature, FET Temperature, and
Estimated Battery Capacity.
Controls
The RC7 and RC7GS allow the inverter to be switched ON or OFF with the
press of a push-button on the remote. Both devices can be used to configure the
inverter/charger to the specific system and preferences including Battery
Capacity, Battery Type, Charger Rate, Low Battery Cutout, Shorepower Amps,
External Shunt, Fuel gauge Cutout, and Display Contrast. In addition, the
RC7GS starts and stops of the genset automatically or manually, allows the
setting of generator make and model, sets a “quiet time” during which the genset
will not start automatically, and has manual overrides for auto gen start.
Status Monitoring
The RC7 and RC7GS remotes monitor operating conditions including: the
AC supply, inverter operation, charger operation, battery condition, generator
condition (RC7GS only), Time Left to Run, and Time Left to Charge.

5. Connect the communications cable into the RJ11 port on the inverter/
charger marked “REMOTE CONTROL.” Connect the other end of the
cable into the jack on the remote (Figure 3).
6. Secure the remote to the wall or outlet box using the appropriate screws
(4 required).
7. Wait for the LCD display to show the message “Waiting for AC.”
8. Place the ON/OFF switch on the inverter to the ON position.
NOTE: The remote will not operate the inverter if the inverter’s ON/OFF switch is
in the OFF position.
9. Reconnect the inverter to the AC source. After a brief delay, the remote
will display a system status message similar to Figure 4.
