Read full descriptionHide full description
This app is a power monitoring tool that allows the user to monitor the load usage on an RV or other application. This same app is used for the family of Active Controls hardware including the well pump and standard softstarter like our SS16 rooftop unit. The app also allows the user to diagnose issues related to shutting down the Active Controls unit. This app monitors, voltage, current, frequency and other faults that can lead to problems for the electronics thus shutting down the output to protect the appliances and the whole RV or other application.
