The Remote Display is designed for use with specific Progressive Dynamics Inverters. The remote will allow complete monitoring of your
inverter. This guide will help you install and use the remote control to monitor the functions of your inverter.
Materials List
The inverter base package includes the following items:
 (1) PD1200 series inverter remote or PD1600 series inverter remote
(refer to model number of remote display)
 (1) Owner’s guide & mounting template
 (1) Connection cable (included) - (refer to model number for length of cable)
NOTE:
 If any of the items are missing, contact Progressive Dynamics for replacement.
 Use only the cable included with that specific remote display. DO NOT use a
cable that is not designated for that specific unit.
Included Items & Connecting the Remote
Figure 1 Inverter Remote (Communication cable not shown. See model number for cable length)
Connecting the remote to the inverter
Plug the connector plug into the port on the top of the inverter and the back of the remote control using the supplied communication
cable (see Figure 2). Failure to use the supplied communication cable may result in damage to the Remote Display.
It is recommended that you install the remote into the desired location prior to connecting the cable to the remote and the inverter.
Please refer to the installation portion of this guide for those instructions.
Figure 2 Connecting communication cable
Verifying connection
Once the remote display is securely connected to the Inverter and the inverter is
turned on, it will begin displaying readouts immediately. If your remote control
display does not begin to display information, confirm that the communication
cable is securely connected into both ports on the inverter and the remote con-
trol.
NOICE: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
This Remote Display User Guide is in addition to, and incorporated by reference, the relevant product information for each product in the
PD1200 Series Inverter. Before reviewing this guide, you must read the relevant product manual. Unless specified, information on safety,
specifications, installation, and operation is as shown in the primary documentation. Ensure you are familiar with that information before
proceeding.
Notice that PD12011 remote display is only compatible with PD1200 series Inverters. PD1601-25 & PD1601-50 remote displays are only
compatible with PD1600 series inverters. Attempting to use a remote display not designated for that specific inverter could cause damage to
the unit and the remote display.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in your inverter to not function properly.
