SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel. Incorrect installation or use may result in risk of electric shock or fire. No user serviceable parts
in this unit.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or personal injury, the following symbols are placed throughout this manual to indicate dangerous conditions, or
important safety or operational instructions.
WARNING CAUTION IMPORTANT
Indicates dangerous conditions or electric
shock potential. Use extreme caution.
Indicates items critical to safe installation or
operation of the unit.
Follow these instructions closely for proper
operation of the unit
3. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries produce explosive gasses during normal operation.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend
to use in vicinity of battery.
c) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
d) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
e) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
f) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
g) NEVER SMOKE or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery.
h) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
i) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
j) Remove all sources of power, photovoltaic and battery before servicing or installing.
4. DISPLAY LOCATION & INSTALLATION
a) This unit employs components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. NEVER install in battery compartment or in the presence of explosive gases.
b) This unit must be installed and wired in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
c) Unit is not water tight. Do not expose to rain, snow or excessive moisture.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The full featured IPN-ProRemote incorporates a multi-line backlit LCD display and three function keys to provide enhanced setup and monitoring of Blue
Sky Energy’s Integrated Power Net™ (IPN™) compatible charge controllers. The IPN-ProRemote provides the ability to access additional charge controller setup
parameters and adjust setup parameters to wider ranges than with the accompanying charge controller alone. Both the individual status and combined total of up
to 8 charge controllers can be monitored. The IPN-ProRemote also provides complete battery system monitoring. It displays net battery current and battery amp-
hours from full by measuring the charge and discharge current from all charging sources and loads. Some of the many displays include; battery voltage and
current, PV voltage and current, PV charge amp-hours, and a highly accurate “fuel gage” type battery capacity indicator.
