Identifier: Pro Series 7160V / 7280V. This guide compares a family or related models. Use the exact configuration on your label.

Models covered: 7160V, 7280V. They are separate configurations; compare the applicable facts and documents below.

A beam Smart Port does not mean the Wi-Fi controller is installed. Both product pages require the separate Model V3 beam Smart Controller for smart-device connectivity.

7160V specifies 100 W courtesy lighting; 7280V specifies 200 W. Each model has its own 05-24 owner manual.

Battery backup is optional in the product descriptions. Record the installed backup kit rather than assuming it from the V suffix.
