  • Battery backed-up real time clocks/calendars for systems management and audit
  • Local and remote test and diagnostics integrated into the unit
  • Very low power consumption - Approx. 3W (idle) and less than 30W max. (when internal winter heater on)
  • Operates from 110-240V AC 50-60Hz or 12V DC (ideal for solar and batteries)
  • Direct system control through keypad (with PIN security)
  • BMS interface (three relay outputs and one auxilliary input) for additional monitoring and control
  • Weather station interface
