here we are on the cruiser 420 Express  and we're looking at the remote control  of an inverter charger that we've  recently installed aboard this boat and  the reason for that is to give the owner  the ability of actually deciding what to  do with that inverter charger is the  inverter charger going to be as the  inverter function going to be on it's a  charge you're going to be on or off the  whole device going to be off and also  getting some status updates as to maybe  potentially what is the charger doing is  the charger seeing AC power is the  charger or inverter charger in an  overload situation what is the battery  temperature to a hot ru bulk charging  absorption charging and all of that can  happen here at the remote control for  this Victor on inverter charger and  here's where it is so basically it's a  pretty simple remote control and there's  a little toggle here and the lo toggle  basically has three states you have the  charger only mode which is all the way  here to the right and then you have off  so that would mean inverter and charger  are both off or you have inverter on and  also charger on potentially if there's  AC sensing so that would be actually the  easiest mode that the toggle to the left  would be the easiest mode where whenever  the AC is sensed on the inverter the  charger comes on and if ever they lose  is AC and their sense a load on the AC  inverter outlets or microwave or one dot  then the inverter kicks on as well so  for owners that just want convenience  they would put it at inverter on charger  arm which is on the left side if on the  other hand you want to start managing  power and you're really conservative  then you might leave it on charger on  all the time and only put it on inverter  on charger on sometimes when you are  planning on using your inverter maybe  because you're just being cautious and  you want to stay at anger longer without  having to run the generator or run the  alternators to recharge your house  battery tank the other thing that's  interesting about this remote panel is  that it actually makes it really easy to  dial in what is and you can notice I can  actually change that dial  what is the AC input coming in to the  shore power receptacle  so some your boat  might have a 50 amp receptacle a 30 amp  receptacle but sometimes you might be  connecting to a dock that it was only  giving you 15 amp and so you want to  dial that back in so it's a way of  saying the inverter charger by the way  we don't have that much power coming in  so instead of blowing the breaker and  overloading potentially the AC input  coming into the inverter charger this is  a way for you to dial it back so that  you don't have nuisance tripping on the  inverter charger  you
