Compatibility and operation

Model IRC1
Product function Power inverter remote controller; wall-mount or control-panel installation.
Compatible inverters TS-700, TS-1000, TS-1500 and TS-3000; TN-1500 and TN-3000; NTS-750, NTS-1200, NTS-1700, NTS-2200 and NTS-3200; NTU-1200, NTU-1700, NTU-2200 and NTU-3200.
Digital meter No digital meter. Status is indicated by the LED.
Panel display and controls ON/OFF push-button and LED status indication; no LCD battery or load meter.
Communication Decodes the RS-232 signal supplied by the compatible inverter. Use the inverter’s designated remote socket; this is not a general-purpose serial interface adapter.
Remote ON/OFF The inverter can be turned ON or OFF from the remote panel’s built-in push-button.
LED status Green: remote ON. Orange: remote OFF. Red: abnormal status. Flashing orange: power-saving mode.

Environment and EMC

Working temperature −20 to +50°C.
Working humidity 20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage conditions −40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing.
High-altitude condition Above 2000 m (6500 ft), the datasheet specifies ambient-temperature derating of 3.5°C per 1000 m for fanless models and 5°C per 1000 m for fan models. Confirm the applicable model condition with the inverter documentation.
Vibration 10–500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes each along the X, Y and Z axes.
EMC emissions Compliance to BS EN/EN 55032 Class A, BS EN/EN 61000-3-2 and -3-3, and FCC Part 15 Class A.
EMC immunity Compliance to BS EN/EN 61000-4-2, -4-3, -4-4, -4-6 and -4-8, and BS EN/EN 55035.

Dimensions, installation and reference data

Dimensions 75 × 55 × 21 mm (L × W × H); case 806A. The mechanical drawing states a general tolerance of ±0.5 mm.
Panel mounting details Two R2 mounting notches for M3 screws; horizontal mounting-center spacing 69.74 mm. The drawing locates the mounting centers 27.5 mm from the panel top and shows a 2.63 mm edge offset.
Chassis cutout Use the manufacturer’s chassis-hole drawing: 70.5 mm cutout width and 50.5 mm height, two Ø4.5 mm holes with 69.7 mm center spacing, and hole centers 25.25 mm from the top. The drawing also specifies four R8.2 corners and R1/R4.5 side profiles. Verify the complete profile before machining.
MTBF — Telcordia 4352.7 thousand hours minimum, Telcordia SR-332 (Bellcore).
MTBF — MIL-HDBK 807.1 thousand hours minimum, MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C. MTBF is a reliability prediction, not a service-life or warranty guarantee.
Weight reference 260 g — catalog packing reference per unit (0.26 kg), not a measured net-weight specification.
Carton reference 24 pieces / 7.3 kg / 1.75 CUFT, as listed in the catalog. The carton total is not used to calculate unit weight.

Installation and operation

Dedicated remote cable Use the supplied RJ-11-to-RJ-11 cable to connect the controller to the inverter front-panel remote socket. The standard cable is 10 ft; 25 ft and 50 ft cables are optional. Do not substitute an ordinary telephone cable.
Mounting methods The controller can mount on a vertical surface or inside a system panel. The manual illustrates M3 fixing for surface mounting and M4 fixing for panel mounting; its accessory list specifies two M4 screw, washer and nut sets. Select the fixing method to suit the mounting arrangement.
Connection and startup After connecting the remote cable, all panel LEDs light. Wait about 5 seconds before operating the controller. No external power supply is required; check that the inverter is switched on and both cable connectors are secure.
Power-saving setup Hold the ON/OFF button for about 3 seconds until the LED flashes orange, then release it to enter setup. Press the button to select the setting: green means enabled and red means disabled in this setup mode. Hold the button for 5 seconds until it flashes orange, then release it; the inverter automatically restarts to complete the setting.
Protection and restart The remote controller cannot override an inverter abnormal or protection condition. Correct the inverter fault on site before resuming remote operation.
Manual and inverter compatibility Use the exact compatible-inverter list for this controller. The manual describes TS/TN examples; the current catalog additionally lists supported NTS/NTU models. Availability of charging and status indications depends on the connected inverter.
Warranty and repair terms The current catalog specifies a 3-year warranty. The manual also contains a separate 2-year free-repair statement for use under normal operating conditions; confirm the applicable service terms with the supplier.
Service and EMC environment Do not modify, replace components or repair the controller yourself. This is a Class A product; additional measures may be needed to address radio interference in a domestic environment.
