New Control for Inverter Generators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a new version of the iControl2 controller for the inverter generators. Both the control board and the remote control panel have received a hardware update. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its new version, the control board is called \u00bbiControl 2.5\u00ab. It is an intermediate step before a completely new control will appear with the \u00bbiControl 3\u00ab version. The control panel comes directly as \u00bbiControl 3 remote control panel\u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The control board and the remote control panel of the new \u00bbiControl 2.5\u00ab are pin-compatible with the previous \u00bbiControl 2\u00ab hardware and have the same dimensions. Therefore the new iControl 2.5 can replace the previous hardware for all generator types with iControl 2 control.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
