How to configure your TVMS Prime

Installers must enable only channels with connected accessories, then set up digital inputs, outputs, inverter controls, voltage and temperature sensors, and water tank probes as required. 

 

Each channel can be labelled, assigned an icon, and configured for logic control (Always On, Input Control, or User Control). 

 

Optional alarms can be set for voltage, temperature, and water levels, with all settings displayed and managed through the RedVision App or Display.

 

REDARC recommends seeking the support of a qualified auto electrician or technician.
