Inverter Remote Controls

Inverter remote controls allow you to monitor and adjust inverters. The role of an inverter is to convert DC to AC to regulate the flow of power, so consistency is integral. An inverter monitor makes it possible to check if each system is working efficiently and reliably.

When you use an inverter monitor, you'll receive live and accurate information on operational conditions. Whether you're looking for a remote control or a relay card, you can find one to suit your application in our range of inverter remote controls.

At RS Americas, we know how important it is to get the right components. We're proud to stock high-quality products from leading manufacturers including MEAN WELL and Tripp Lite.

Use our handy filter function to narrow your search by manufacturer. Once you've found the right product, head to our online checkout area to start your order. We offer speedy delivery from our innovative distribution center in Texas straight to your door.

What are remote controls for inverters?

Power inverter remote control units allow for convenient monitoring and adjustment of inverters. While some are specifically adapted to work alongside an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), others do not require an external power source.

An inverter monitor might not be supplied with a new inverter, so you may need to configure it with your system.

The purpose of an inverter monitor is to give you vital information on the conditions within the electrical circuits your systems rely on. Many controllers feature built-in on/off buttons to serve as a power inverter remote switch. Some, like the MODBUS CARD, can even communicate information from a UPS to a PC.

Accessories like inverter monitors give you more control over your powered systems. Along with alerting you to unfavourable operational conditions straight away, they may prevent damage to your devices caused by excessive power.

Which remote control inverter products are available?

No matter your industry, we're sure that you'll find the right inverter control supplies here. A few of the products featured in our range include:

Inverter monitors

We stock a range of inverter monitors designed to detect specific events and conditions surrounding a UPS and its circuit. For example, the Tripp Lite ENVIROSENSE monitor provides remote humidity and/or temperature monitoring in applications that rely on a network.

Using specialised inverter monitors like this model could be a valuable choice for monitored and switched power distribution units. The ENVIROSENSE can report on the live contact closure status of up to four compatible devices simultaneously. These devices offer a range of benefits, including remote monitoring for security and telecoms devices.

IRC Series remote controls

The IRC-1, -2, and -3 models are inverter remote control and monitoring units. They can decode signals sent by inverters and display it through digital meters. Most feature analog on/off functionality, with a small LED light to indicate operational mode.

As an example, the IRC-3 is a switch-operated inverter remote control designed for selected MEAN WELL inverters. Since these devices can be directly connected to the remote socket of an inverter, IRC Series units are useful in applications without a power supply.

Relay cards

Programmable relay cards like the RELAYIOCARD by Tripp Lite allow users to read and share the events and status of a UPS. Compatible with multiple systems, these relay cards enable remote monitoring of the conditions of a UPS, which may call for current adjustment.

These devices offer configurable relay output contacts and input signal contacts. Choosing a relay card to serve as an inverter monitor is an ideal solution for PCs, servers, and industrial communication platforms that require precise power control and management.

What are inverter remote controls used for?

Inverter remote controls are used to communicate information on the running status of inverters. These devices allow users to read vital signals, converted into basic terms, and then reconfigure or leave inverters accordingly.

An inverter remote control switch, on the other hand, makes it easier to turn an inverter off and back on again. The inverter monitors in our collection can be used across a wide variety of professional applications, including those without a power supply.

Remote controls for inverters may be used in applications including:

• Solar power systems
• Uninterruptible power supplies
• Telecoms and communications networks
