Remote controller for sine wave inverters

12 May 2010 Power Electronics / Power Management

Mean Well has launched three remote controllers to fulfil the long distance control requirement of the company’s DC/AC true sine wave inverters. With 94V-0 rated plastic case, these control units can effectively prevent users from electrical shock. Due to their special design incorporating mounting holes at both sides, they can be installed on flat surfaces or behind a control panel or power distribution board. The ‘plug-and-play’ design works without any additional power supply by simply connecting the RJ11 port directly to the socket on the inverter. The controllers are supplied with either 3 m, 7,6 m or 15,2 m cables.

The IRC1 is designed for TS-700/1000/1500/3000 and TN-1500/3000 series inverters. Featuring remote control functionality as well as basic panel indicators for monitoring the operating status of the inverter, it can be used to turn the inverter on or off remotely, as well as to activate standby mode. An LED indicator shows the inverter’s on/off status, abnormal state or standby mode.

The IRC2 is suitable for TS-700/1000/1500/3000 series. In addition to the control functions and indicators of the IRC1, this unit is also equipped with a display to monitor the level of battery capacity and output loading. The IRC3 is a fully equipped remote controller specially designed for the TN-1500/3000 solar power inverter series, and functions as an extension of the inverter’s front panel. Including all the functions of the IRC1 /2, the IRC3 has additional indicators for solar charging, AC utility charging and output loading by inverter or utility input.
