AIMS Remote Switch with LCD Monitoring Screen Low Frequency Only

Flip up to fully power on. Flip down to put in standby mode. Comes with long cable. Screen is bright blue and gives battery voltage reading and degree of charge. Also gives percent load. For example, if you have a 4kw inverter and the screen reads 50% output, then you are using 2kw of the total 4kw. Also displays input voltage and output voltage if you are hooked up to shore power or a generator. The screen light will turn off after 15-20 seconds and you have to press a button to turn it back on. This is to conserve power.

This is a little expensive for what you get and am a little concerned because some people have had problems with them. So far so good.

The only usable feature of this remote is to turn the inverter on or off. It does not provide any other useful information other than that. The font is terrible too, and you can't read the screen from any angles at all. Further, the circuitry is not encased, so placing it into a wall amounts to a real risk of a fire hazard or it failing due to bugs or insects eating the wiring or moisture corroding the circuit board.

The meter works fine and has plenty of info as to how the inverter is performing. It would be nice if it came in a closure. For anybody interested in a box I used the following enclosure, Waterproof Electronic Junction Project Box Enclosure Case 200x120x75mm WP. Once you do the cut-outs it looks nice in the case. I used a chassis mount rj-45 connector with a short cable to connect to the meter. Now I can move the meter to another location and just plug the included cable into the back connector. Update: 07-26-2017 The three display lights no longer function. While unit is running there is no way to tell if it is inverting or charging without either turning display light on or looking at the actual inverter. Waiting on tech support. Update: 08-29-2017 Tech Support sent my repaired or either new meter back today and it works fine. It appears to be brand new as the box contained the cable and was packaged as if it was new and had the screen protector on it. I have included a few photos of the enclosure I made to mount the meter in. I only had to pay shipping back to Aims for repairing and they paid for the rest under warranty. Great Support

The product works great. Easy to read. For the price, they could have sent the 4 little screws that mount into the wall. We were all set to mount it, and had to drive 20 miles round trip to find small enough screws that weren't included.

So, 189 is a good fifth of what I paid for my inverter, I figured this would be quality. It's not. Cheap display (for 189 it could have had OLED and would be 1000% better, for really no major change in cost. junk connectors that aren't needed. The screen is almost completely unreadable unless you are 90 degrees from the face. Weird update issues, and in 2 days it's already started locking the display so it shows the same thing for 8 or 9 hours. Heck, they couldn't even include 4 .01 cent screws to tighten the ultra cheap plastic casing down. Aims, I've loved you for years, but this is a HUGE disappointment, makes me question any future purchases of your garbage! There are cheaper remotes that work MUCH better.

I ordered this remote display for my Aims inverter. It's the public face of your behind-the-scenes power system, so why not show it off? It looks nice, has a fancy blue LCD display, so why not? Not. Firstly, it's expensive for what you get. For about 20% of the cost of your entire inverter, this disiplay shows you input and output voltage and frequency - who cares about that? It's just about 120V, maybe a volt or two higher or lower, and 60Hz, but doesn't affect anything. It shows battery voltage, and 'work mode' which is the same as the first two LED lights show you, and alarm and fault, which is again, shown by an LED light. Finally, it shows Output Load as a percentage, which is dumb, why not show the power in watts. What's worse, is the nice fancy LDC screen is low-quality (as you'd expect with any small LDC screen like this) and has poor viewing angles. So if it is mounted even 1 inch below eye level, you can't see anything on the display. Ugh. One-star for value, back in the box, and back to Amazon. Happily Aims also makes a simpler version, for only $26, which has the things you actually need, which is the switch and the 3 LED lights. So I bought that instead. Then, to understand the power your inverter is putting out, get a basic battery monitor, like the one from Drok with a 200A hall-effect sensor, for only $29. I did actually contact Aims tech support about another issue I had with the inverter. It was about this crazy buzzing sound produced by the transformer when using a heat gun. Later, I found this explained in the excellent user guide. The Heat gun has a half-wave rectifier to produce low-power setting, and this interferes with the magnetic field in the transformer. Totally normal, and no issue - just don't use the stupid heat gun on your nice inverter. Overall i'm happy with my Aims system, an excellent product at an excellent price - if you buy the LED remote switch panel.

like it keeps my battery charge. high

Non produit assez précis

Control inverter

Received only the front of the remote and have tried to follow all instructions but almost two weeks and have not received any messages from aims or Amazon. I am very disappointed

Easy install. Works as described.

excelent
