ON / OFF  Control Switch 

The ON/OFF Switch must be in the ON position when using Remote Control. 

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.  
 
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.   
 
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.  
 
The  most  common  remote  control  wiring  arrangement  uses  a  "hot  in  run"  circuit  from  the  vehicle  fuse 
panel  for  the  12v  signal.  This  arrangement  automatically  turns  the  inverter  ON  when  the  vehicle  is  ON 
and automatically turns the inverter OFF when the vehicle is OFF. 
 
Green Connector Details: Terminal Vout is current limited, therefore if terminal Vout is used as the source 
for the remote control signal, a fuse is not required in the remote control circuit.  If Vout is 

not

 used as the 

remote control signal, use a 5 amp fused circuit for the remote control signal.  
 
The  green  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).
