3.1.2 Front Panel
3.1.3 ON / OFF Control Switch
The ON/OFF Switch must be in the ON position when using Remote Control.
3.1.4 Remote Control Terminal
A green two-terminal connector located on the front panel allows remote ON/OFF control of the inverter by a
customer-supplied ON/OFF switch. The connector can be removed from the inverter by pulling the connector
outward. The two upward facing screws are used to tighten the compression terminals for attachment of the
signal wire(s). Torque to 4 lb-in max.
Standard Operation (Not using remote control): The inverter is shipped with a jumper connecting terminals Vout
and Vin. With the jumper in place (remote control not being used) the inverter is fully functional using the
ON/OFF Control Switch located on the front of the inverter.
Single Wire Remote Control
Remote Control via customer-supplied SPST switch: If it is desired to remotely control the inverter from a
customer-supplied remote switch, remove the jumper connecting terminals Vout and Vin. Supply a 12v (24v
signal on 24v units) continuous signal to terminal Vin to turn the inverter ON. The source of the 12v signal can be
battery voltage for single-wire remote control or terminal Vout for two-wire-remote-control.
A common remote control arrangement uses a "hot in run" circuit from the vehicle fuse panel for the voltage
signal. This arrangement automatically turns the inverter ON when the vehicle is running and automatically turns
the inverter OFF when the vehicle is turned OFF.
Vin Details
Vin will draw approximately 0.15 amps continuous while holding the inverter ON. If Vout is not used as the remote
control signal, use a 5 amp fused circuit for the Vin remote control signal.
Vout Details
When using Vout as the remote control voltage source, install a 2 amp fuse within 12” of the inverter.
The inverter will be damaged if Vout comes into contact with battery negative
