The Rich Solar RS-RM02 Inverter Remote Control Lets You Run and Monitor a NOVA SWITCH or NOVA SUPERCHARGER Inverter From a Flush Wall Panel
The Rich Solar RS-RM02 is a wired remote panel for Rich Solar's NOVA SWITCH and NOVA SUPERCHARGER series inverters. From the wall, you can turn the inverter on or to standby, switch operating modes and adjust settings. A high-definition backlit LCD shows voltage, load and system status in real time.
A 6-conductor cable with RJ12 plug-and-play connections links it to the inverter, and the flame-retardant ABS housing mounts flush in the wall.
Rich Solar RS-RM02 Inverter Remote Control Features
On, Standby, Modes and Settings at the Wall
The power button turns the inverter on or to standby when the inverter's own power button is off. Hold the setting button for three seconds to enter settings mode, then scroll, change and confirm. A change can take about a minute to reach the inverter.
Clear Readings on a Backlit LCD
In battery mode, the screens show battery voltage, AC load, and output voltage and frequency. In grid mode, they add input voltage, input current and load current. A four-bar battery icon shows remaining charge in 25% steps, and a load bar shows how much inverter capacity is in use. Any button press turns on the backlight for 60 seconds.
Status LEDs, Fault Codes and a Buzzer
Green LEDs show grid mode, when shore power passes through to the loads, and battery mode, when the inverter runs loads from the battery. Solid red marks a fault with an error code. Flashing red marks a warning with an error code and an audible alarm.
Flush Wall Mount
The panel needs a 4.33 x 2.32 inch (110 x 59 mm) cut-out and more than 1.97 inches (50 mm) of recess depth. Its four mounting holes sit 4.69 inches (119 mm) apart side to side and 2.76 inches (70 mm) apart top to bottom.
Real-World Applications
RVs. Mount the panel in the living area to see when shore power is passing through, check battery voltage and put the inverter in standby.
Off-grid and hybrid systems. Control and monitor an inverter in a utility room or equipment closet from a more convenient wall.
Practical Comparison
RS-RM02 Versus the RS-RM03
Rich Solar's specification sheet covers both remotes. They share the same display, indicators, control functions, housing, flush wall mount and RJ12 connection. The RS-RM03 adds Bluetooth for monitoring and adjusting settings in the RICH SOLAR app. Choose the RS-RM02 if a wall panel is all you need.
Buyer Guidance
Plan the Wall Opening
Rich Solar recommends a mounting height of about 59 inches (1.5 m), away from water and heat. Use the backplate as a template and keep the wall cavity clear of pipes, insulation and wiring. Mounting screws aren't included, so plan on four screws that suit your wall.
Run the Cable
Connect the 6-conductor cable to the RJ12 ports on the inverter and the remote. Leave 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of slack and secure it with zip ties to take strain off the ports.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You own a Rich Solar NOVA SWITCH or NOVA SUPERCHARGER series inverter
- Your inverter is installed out of easy reach
- You want on, standby and settings control from a wall panel
- You don't need app control
