Smartpack Controller

Monitoring and Control Unit

Powerful and cost effective control module

The Smartpack controller is a monitoring and control unit used as

the vital nerve center of the DC power plant. You operate the
system from the elegant front panel, using three front keys and the
LCD-display. They represent the main interface between you and
the system.
