The DR series of Xantrex
inverter / chargers are now discontinued. I need a
remote control panel for my model DR1512E. I have searched the WWW high and low; googled until limks were coming out of my ears.
I found one on ebay but he would not deliver outside the US. I know I could use a forwarder but don't know how. I know just
google it.
The only DR remotes here in Oz sell for $300 instead of the $50 - 100 they used to sell for when available in the states. All I want to do is to be able to turn off the
inverter without having to climb into the
battery cupboard as
1. I now have installed a
water maker and the HP
pump is in the way
and
2. I am too old and lazy
I don't need any other info - just on / off.
Is there any way I could plumb in (I know wrong
boat system) a ON / OFF switch into the
wiring to the Xantrex from the
battery bank??
The latter works by plugging in a
phone type communication lead (forget the technical name) into a jack on the
inverter box.
The I/C was installed by a
marine electrician and I remember it has a large breaker on the positive wire from the
batteries ( I am away from
boat working ATM).
Could I just lengthen the wire about 1 ft to bring the breaker to the outside of the battery compartment and use that as an on / off switch OR maybe better (me thinks) if that is not a good idea, just add an actual proper sized on / off switch to the positive wire AFTER the breaker and BEFORE the I/C?? If the latter fix, can any one recommend a good quality switch that I could source in Oz?
