From PI's website:
Bypass:
This switch is located on the remote panel, and allows the user to bypass the computer circuit in the EMS in the event of computer failure, thus allowing AC power into the RV. This does not disable the surge protection portion of the EMS; however, all other features are disabled.
On the version without remote display, they say:
Enclosed blue jumper wire allows the user to bypass the computer circuit in the EMS in the event of computer failure, thus allowing AC power into the RV.
Some have installed a 30 amp cord and connector so that you can remove the complete unit if it fails and to send for service, but I couldn't see doing the extra work. If it got really fried while camping, I'd just reconnect the shore power cable back into the panel.
