Using the RC6 Remote On/Off and
Inverter/Charger Monitor
This section of the guide is designed to help the user interpret and operate
the RC6 remote when used with Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Chargers.
ost of the time the remote control will only be used to turn the inverter on
and off. However, should you wish, a multitude of information is available
about the state of the inverter/charger and battery system. Without a
remote control, the inverter will work just fine but most of the information the RC6
can show won’t be accessible to you. In this case, the indicator light and legend on the
front of the inverter will be your guide to what the inverter is doing.
Let’s look at some of the features of the Xantrex RC6 Remote Control.

The RC6 remote control is capable of turning the inverter on and off, as well as
showing the following:
•
Battery Bank Voltage
•
Current flowing into or out of the battery bank during charging or
inverting
•
Error conditions the inverter may encounter (High Battery, Over
Temperature, Over Load, and Low Battery conditions)
•
The charge state the inverter is currently in (Bulk Charge, Absorption, or
Float Charge)
•
Whether the inverter is on or off
The following picture shows the front of the RC6. Notice the two bar graph scales
that run vertically. The left scale displays the voltage of the battery bank while the right
scale displays the DC (direct current) amperage flowing into (charging) or out of
