Control Wiring Terminal Block:
The Inverter ON/OFF terminals are
used for connecting an external ON/
OFF switch. To use this feature, the
jumper must be removed. (See
installation manual for details.)
The AUX terminals provide a 12 Vdc
signal. The AUX terminals can be used
to start a generator or to control external
devices.
AUX terminals are also available in the
charge controller and FLEXnet DC. See
the charge controller or FNDC manuals
for details.
