3.2.4. Remote connector
Remote on/off control of the inverter can be achieved with a simple on/off switch connected to the inverter remote connector.
The inverter will switch on when it has been switched to ON or ECO mode and when:
• Contact is made between the remote connector H (left) terminal and L (right) terminal, for example via the wire bridge, a switch
or the Inverter control panel.
• Contact is made between the remote connector H (left) terminal and battery positive.
• Contact is made between the remote connector L (right) terminal and battery negative.
Some usage examples of the remote connector are:
• If the inverter is situated in a vehicle and is only allowed to operate when the engine is running. Connect the remote connector
H (right) terminal to the vehicle ignition switch.
• If the inverter is connected to a lithium battery the inverter can be controlled by the lithium battery BMS.
• For safety purposes, the inverter can be turned off completely by removing the remote connector. Do this by
pulling the remote connector out of its socket. This ensures that the inverter cannot be turned on anymore
via its switch, push button or Bluetooth. The user can now be certain that the inverter is definitely turned off
and it cannot be accidentally turned back on by another user.
Inverter control panel
Phoenix Inverter Control VE.Direct
panel is used, it needs to be connected to the inverter remote connector as is indicated in
below image. Note that the connection is polarity dependent for proper operation.
3.2.5. VE.Direct connection
The VE.Direct connection can be used for monitoring of the inverter via a GX device, or to connect to the VictronConnect app.
The following items can be connected:
• A GX device or GlobalLink 520 using a
.
.
• A computer running the VictronConnect app using the
.
• A phone or tablet running the VictronConnect app using the
VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle
.
3.2.6. Programmable relay
The programmable relay can be connected to an external circuit, for example an alarm circuit, a generator remote start circuit or a
monitoring circuit.
Some usage examples are:
• Remote start a generator when the inverter has a low battery alarm.
• Drive an extraction fan when the inverter has a temperature alarm.
• Activate an alarm light or a buzzer when an inverter alarm occurs.
The programmable relay has 3 connections:
• Normally closed (NC).
• Common (COM).
• Normally open (NO).
Depending on its programming the relay will make contact between "common" and "normally closed" or between "common" and
"normally open".
