DEIF RMP-112D – Remote manual control panel for genset and breaker operations

The DEIF RMP-112D is designed as a practical, hard‑wearing remote manual panel for generator and switchboard operators who want clear status, deliberate push‑button control, and safe interlocks when working around live power. From my experience, it slots in neatly with DEIF power management systems to provide manual start/stop, breaker open/close, and permission handling without complicating the core PLC/AGC logic. You might notice that it’s often used on retrofit projects where the team wants tactile, front‑of‑panel authority paired with the reliability DEIF is known for.

Typical applications include marine switchboards, industrial standby power rooms, and plant rooms where operators prefer a dedicated, physical panel for local control or as a backup to a central HMI. One thing I appreciate is the straightforward wiring philosophy—keep decisive controls local and visible, then hand the coordination to the DEIF controller behind it.

Key Features

• Manual control with safety interlocks – Supports deliberate breaker and genset actions with permissive logic to reduce mis‑operations.
• Clear operator feedback – Dedicated LEDs and labeled buttons for immediate status recognition; ideal when visibility and speed matter.
• Hardwired I/O for dependable behavior – Typically wired directly to DEIF controllers or interposing relays for predictable, low‑latency response.
• Robust 24 VDC supply – Designed for control power systems commonly found in switchboards and generator sets.
• Works with DEIF power management – Plays nicely with AGC/ASC families for island, parallel, or standby modes.
• Retrofit‑friendly form factor – In many cases, mounting and labeling are straightforward for upgrades without tearing up the entire panel.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & mounting – Install on a flat, rigid switchboard door or cut‑out with adequate front sealing. Keep cable entries strain‑relieved and away from high‑EMI sources.
• Wiring practices – Use segregated control wiring, ferruled terminations, and shielded pairs for any sensitive signals. Bond shields at one end to avoid ground loops.
• Ventilation – Provide natural airflow; avoid mounting directly above heat sources like busbars or braking resistors.
• Safety – Prove dead before working. Validate permissives and check open/close coil polarity. Implement lamp test and E‑stop checks during commissioning.
• Routine maintenance – Quarterly button/indicator function test; clean lens and labels; verify interlocks; back up controller configuration; review event logs after drills.
• Firmware/configuration – When paired with DEIF controllers, align polarity, debounce, and interlock logic. Update controller firmware as recommended by DEIF.

Quality & Certifications

• CE compliant; RoHS conformity in most configurations.
• Industrial/marine‑grade build; DEIF products typically carry marine approvals (e.g., DNV, ABS, LR) depending on exact variant and system context.
• Manufacturer’s warranty: 12 months (365 days) from delivery.
