Introduction
1.1 Features and Benefi ts
The RD Series inverter/charger is designed to allow easy access to wiring, circuit breakers, and
controls. Its die cast baseplate with one-piece aluminum cover ensures maximum durability with
minimum weight, as well as cooler more effi cient operation.
The front of the RD Series is equipped with the following features (see Figures 1-1 and 1-2):
1
Power ON/OFF Switch - a momentary pushbutton switch that alternately turns the inverter
On or Off.
2
Status LED Indicator - this green LED illuminates to provide information on the inverter
or charger operation.
3
Stack/Accessories Connection Port (red label) - a RJ11 port that accepts the optional
Remote Switch Adapters (RSAs) which enable remote on/off switch operation.
Info: The stacking feature is NOT available with the RD Series.
4
Network Connection Port (green label) - a RJ11 port that accepts optional network
capable accessories (e.g., Auto Gen Start or Battery Monitor).

Remote Connection Port (blue label) - a RJ11 port that allows the optional remote
controls (ME-RC50 or ME-ARC50) to be connected.
6
BTS Connection Port (yellow label) - RJ11 port that accepts the remote Battery
Temperature Sensor (BTS) accessory.
7
DC Equipment Ground Terminal - this connection is used to tie the exposed chassis of
the inverter to the DC grounding system. This terminal accepts CU/AL conductors from
#14 to #2 AWG (2.1 to 33.6 mm 2 ).

Positive DC Terminal - provides 360 degree connection point for the positive (+) cable
from the battery bank; provided with a Kep or Flange nut on a 5/16-18 bolt (5/8” usable
length) to hold the battery cable to the DC terminal.
11
Negative DC Terminal - provides 360 degree connection point for the negative (-) cable
from the battery bank; provided with a Kep or Flange nut on a 5/16-18 bolt (5/8” usable
length) to hold the battery cable to the DC terminal.
12 Mounting Flange - used to secure the inverter to a shelf or wall.
