PWRcell™ Time of Use Program Guide
Like other devices connected to a PWRcell Inverter, the REbus™ Beacon has its own device page
on the Inverter screen. This page allows the user to configure a Time of Use (TOU) schedule.
After setup, the REbus Beacon will switch the PWRcell Inverter operating mode based on a
preset schedule. Refer to the tables below. See the Schedule Directory for more details.
