Only problem is it does itโs job well. No ground, inverted polarity on the mains, NO POWER passed. No workarounds. Had low voltage at one place, it kept shutting off power. I suggest having a bypassable plug so you can get power in those odd cases IF you determine the risk is worth it.
As IAMICHABOD stated, there IS a bypass. It is part of the remote pendant that you didn't get.
There were NO switches on the remote display whenever I bought my EMS. Iโll have to contact PI to see if the new remote is usable with my unit. IIRC, at the time I bought & 1st used my EMS, you could separately purchase the remote display later for near twice the additional cost buying it with the EMS.
I bought my PI EMS HW30C in 2008 with the remote pendant. It has the switch. Your PI must be really old, because mine is 14 years old. Here is a photograph of my pendant (note the lower left corner of the pendant):
My PI HWC30 is about 4 years old.
If you have the remote display, you do not have a local, on unit display. I have the display on the main unit. My display plugs into where the remote display plug would. I did find a remote bypass switch accessory compatible with my unit for $24, due in tomorrow. No remote display is available with my original unit. Might be able to McGuyver one but not worth the cost & effort to me. I keep a cheap plug in volt meter in my kitchen outlet for quick monitoring, reads about a volt low compared to the EMS.
Yes, I regret not ponying up the extra for the remote display ;(

I have to shut mine off when we boondock for four wheeling trips. The generator trips the unit for "open ground".
I'm normally only using the trailer for sleeping....with a space heater for heat. Maybe a bit of t.v. as I nod off. So I figure nothing important will get fried.
There is a way around that, so you don't have to bypass the EMS,just make or BUY a grounding plug for your generator.
This Thread may be of help to you if you are interested in doing it.

This is one very good reason to have the remote display if you want to bypass the EMS and restore power and take the risk.

On my Class C I went for the hard wired EMS-HW30C for the best protection.
There will be others along soon with many differing views so until then
This Chart may be helpful when deciding what is best for you.
