Attaching a Remote
SETUP: 06 RC Setup
No setup features are allowed from the remote control; all setup must be done using the router.
The remote control can be plugged into any port (P1-P6), and can monitor any port to which an
inverter is connected. However, it must first be assigned to that port in order to monitor it. See
Figure 9-1 for help in accessing the RC Setup menu.
Default: System (appears as the assigned port for the remote control and means the remote
control will monitor the System Home port.
Range: System, Port 1 – Port 6 (shows any port activity connected to an inverter—means the
remote will monitor the specific inverter on the designated port).
Note: It is recommended that the ME-RC or ME-ARC is set to monitor “System” in most installations.
To assign a different port, press the SELECT knob and rotate to the desired port (P1-P6). Press
the SELECT knob to save the port selection.
9.0 Attaching a Remote Control
A remote control (ME-ARC or ME-RC) can be connected to the router and used in a different
location to assist with monitoring your system. Only one remote control can be used, and it must
be connected directly to one of the router ports and programmed (per SETUP: 06 RC Setup menu)
to indicate which port it is monitoring.
Info: When using a remote control, it cannot be connected to the inverter’s Network
or Remote port, it must be connected to a communications port (P1-P6) on the router.
When used in conjunction with a router, a ME-RC or ME-ARC has limited functions. The remote
control, when connected to the router, acts only as a remote monitor. It monitors the port it is set
up to display, turns all parallel inverter/chargers on/off, and displays METER and TECH information.
If the remote control that is connected is a ME-ARC, it can be used in a remote location as a remote
on/off switch, and can assist in controlling a generator that is connected to an AGS-N module
using the FAVS button. The ME-ARC does not control the inverter/chargers via the CTRL button,
nor can the SETUP button be used—all SETUP and CTRL features or functions must be done using
the CTRL and SETUP button on the router.
Info: When the ME-ARC is connected to the router, the FAVS menu can provide access
to menus that are normally locked out. The Gen Control menu—when used under the
FAVS menu— is the only one that is tested and guaranteed to work. The menus that are
under the CTRL and SETUP buttons are normally locked out, but may have been saved
in the FAVS menu. These non-tested menus may confl ict with the router settings and
should not be used to set up or confi gure the router.
