Will the remote display work through a battery back ups?

HA! I asked them the same question! No.They said that the whole purpose of it was to monitor raw energy. a battery backup will give you inaccurate readings. that does make since, as this unit needs to read spikes and drops etc. as well as normal current pull.
1308066
NO, The circuity of the UPS will interfere with the signal, in fact most power strips, computers, t.v.s and Compact fluorescent bulbs can and will interfere with the signal
1308067
No. Unit receives its signal from current samplers via power circuit so putting UPS in line will disrupt data.
1308068
No I don't believe it will because a UPS is DC power inverted to AC, therefore the AC signal from the panel transmitter will be blocked. On second thought if you lose power from the utility company, then the TED transmitter in your electrical panel won't have any power so it can't function anyway, so it wouldn't matter if a ups would or would not work . You won't lose any data in your display unit, as soon as power is restored, it will start functioning again as if nothing happened.

No. It has to be directly connected to the power outlet to receive the signal.

Front or back it will work just fine. It does not appear to be line of sight like a television remote control. So in theory you can be in the picture as well, in the back row, with the remote behind your back and it should still work. I'm sure that it does have a limited distance remote-to-camera that lessens as the batteries age not I do not know what this range is.

I attempted this and it does not appear to work. It seems that it is used only for charging the remote.

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

I don't know, because I have no need for the remote battery; I use the charger adapter. If you are hoping for the switch to work automatically when you activate the source that you want to send to the TV, I can tell you that feature doesn't work very often for me. I just do the switching manually with the remote control.

I would think so since it is activated by the back-up lights being energized. Mine is hooked up w/ the back-up lights

Yes, it can monitor the status of your UPS through a USB connection and automatically power off to preserve data if the battery charge gets low. I use mine with a CyberPower UPS

The inverter will run 'stand-alone' without any remote. Biggest benefit to having a remote is vital system info. Allows for basic configuration of the inverter/incoming line amps/battery 'cut-out' voltage level/charging status/levels of battery bank, etc. Most would consider this 'vital' info.

Yes, just make sure to install the C-wire. Then, the batteries will just function as backup

Correct. You cannot plug this remote display into an inverter. It will only work with the solar charger controller. Even though, the same cable can be used on either, the control signals are different on the two devices.

Yes Anthony it can, as matter of fact we also sell the remote display that goes with it. If you have a display already it may not work as they are usually branded to the model scale and indicator. If you want some more info on the display, let me know and i will send it to you, thanks

No, It will not work plugged into the adapter or will it charge via the adapter. It will work using the wire supplied and plugging into the rear of the unit but what's the point.. no remote control or charging that way.

I would not recommend it. The batteries are backup if there is elect service interruption.
2149585
No. The unit is powered from a permanently sealed battery with 10 year life and cannot use external power, so there would be no point in doing so.
808778
Yes, the remote works fine. However, be advised that the batteries have a limited life span.

The screen display is in color. The product is only available in Black. No, you can not use D size batteries for backup - the unit has a built-in Lithium Rechargeable Battery. Power: UL Approved Adapter: AC 100-240v-, 50/60Hz & DC 9-12 Volt Compatibility
