Remote Monitors
Three options are available for remote control and monitoring.
• Use a remote ICM, which is identical to the inverter control module
display on the inverter, for distances of 25 or 50 feet (7.5 or
15 meters).
• Use a personal computer to monitor system status using an optional
ICA (for distances up to 50 feet/15 meters). The ICA can be used
with cables up to 500 feet (152.4 meters). These longer cables,
however, are not provided by Xantrex.
• Use a personal computer off-site to monitor the system using an
external modem at the inverter site and the ICA.
Note: The ICM and the ICA use the same input port on the inverter. Both of
these options cannot be used at the same time.

CAUTION: Damage to Equipment
Never connect a grounded PC to the Remote Port if the inverter is configured in a
positive ground arrangement. Connecting a grounded PC to this port (in this
configuration) will damage both the PC and the inverter. Xantrex will not cover
damages to the PC or honor warranty claims on the inverter under these
circumstances.
