A remote screen to keep an eye on the installation
The SUNBEAMsystem MoonRay is an external display: it extends the readout of an electrical control unit so that the information can be read somewhere other than on the device itself. When the main equipment sits hidden in a technical room, a cabinet or a cupboard, having a screen within sight saves repeated trips. The data supplied does not detail the quantities shown, the way it connects or the compatible models; those points should be confirmed in the manufacturer’s manual.
How it is used
The display is linked to the compatible equipment following the manufacturer’s diagram, then fixed in the chosen spot. It is then used to follow the state of the system through the day, without having to open a cabinet.
Who can benefit
In a house it finds a place in the hallway, the garage or the kitchen, where people pass naturally. In a motorhome or on a boat, a screen near the chart table or the entrance gives a quick glance. On the professional side, an installer can position it where the end user is, while someone looking after a small technical room will see it as a practical visual check.
Dimensions and construction
The housing is square: 111 x 111 x 40 mm, weighing 190 g. It is made of plastic, which explains its lightness. As no protection rating is given, install it indoors, away from water and splashes. Check that the wall can carry the weight over time and that the viewing angle suits the people who will read it. Plan for a flat, dry support with enough clearance behind and at the sides for the cable.
Careful installation
- Choose a visible spot at eye level, out of direct sunshine.
- Measure the cable length needed to the main equipment before drilling or sticking anything.
- Fix the housing with fasteners suited to the wall.
- Switch the whole system on only once the connections have been checked.
Any work on an installation connected to the domestic mains should be left to a qualified installer.
Advantages
- Remote reading of the main device.
- Weight of 190 g, no excessive load on the fixing.

Safety
Cut the power before connecting or moving the display. Use only cables in good condition, suited to the use described by the manufacturer, and do not trap them under the fixing. Avoid condensation and very damp rooms, and do not hang the display by its cable. If the housing is cracked after a fall, stop using it and have it checked before it is switched on again.
Care and storage
Clean the front with a soft, slightly damp cloth once the power is off, then dry it. No strong alcohol or abrasive product. If it is removed for a long period, store it dry and protected from knocks.
