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

[Kelly Larson]

Thank you, Allan!  I wondered about the compatibility.  So it sounds like I am looking for an ICM.

Blessings,
Kelly

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.

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.

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?
