Kelly,
I don't know this for certain, but I used an SW+2524 in my own home system for 8 years (great inverter, by the way), so I have experience with both the SW and SW+. I would be careful about using the SWRC, which was designed for (and identical to the control panel on) the SW series, and the entire control algorithm of the SW+ is different than the SW. Having never tried it, I would be cautious about compatibility. The ICM was designed for the SW+, I think.

Thanks, Bill.  That is what they have been doing, but then they loose their setpoints...  The camp is 1 1/2 hours from me and needs more stability than that.  I hope the remote fixes the problem.  Is that likely?

I am hearing several possibilities for the remote: the SWRC, the ICM, ...  What do I need?  Again, it's an SW Plus 2524 from 2005.

Blessings,
Kelly

Kelly,
 
        When I've had that problem with my SW remote display in the past, a little poke in the reset hole took care of it for me.  The remote display looks identical to the one on the inverter.  The reset is on the lower left of the display.  You lose your settings but it's always brought back the bottom line to be able to see what you're doing.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Xantrex SW Plus ICM Remote anyone?

Hello,

I have an off-grid client who is having trouble with his SW Plus display.  (Second line of display is intermittent).  I never installed SW Plus, and don't know the ins and outs of them.  I understand I may be able to plug in a remote, (I think called a ICM remote), and be able to reliably get to the settings.  Anyone know about this problem?  Have a ICM remote for sale?

Blessings,
Kelly
