If your solar charging setup lives in an RV, a cabin, a work trailer, or a utility closet, this cable lets an external signal decide when the charger runs. That way you aren't tied to the controller itself. It is built for anyone who wants a simple, signal-based way to enable or disable solar charging as part of a larger power plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVictron Energy VE.Direct Non Inverting Remote On\/Off Cable Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRemote Control for BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT Models So You Can Manage Charging from Another Spot\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable plugs into the VE.Direct port on supported BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers and turns that port into a remote on\/off input. Instead of walking to the controller every time you want to change its state, you let a signal handle it. For a charger tucked behind a panel or mounted somewhere awkward, that is a real convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSimple High Signal Logic for Predictable Charger Behavior\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules are easy to remember, and that is part of the appeal:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe charger is enabled when the signal on the cable is high.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe charger is disabled when the source signal is pulled low.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe charger is also disabled when the signal is left free floating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat last point matters when you plan your wiring. A disconnected or floating signal means the charger stays off, so the signal source needs to be dependable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Dedicated VE.Direct Port for a Clear and Honest Trade-Off\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you use this cable, the VE.Direct port cannot be used for anything else. That means no connecting to a GX device, and no VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle on a BlueSolar charger. If you rely on monitoring through that port, factor this in before you buy. If remote on\/off control is the priority, this cable does that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eManual Available So You Can Plan Your Wiring Before You Install\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA manual is available for this cable.

This cable adds a remote option for BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also worth knowing what you may not need. Larger SmartSolar models have an onboard Remote On\/Off terminal, so this cable is not necessary on those. If your controller already has that terminal, you can likely use it directly. Think of this cable as a practical solution for models that lack it, not a universal upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs This Cable the Right Fit for Your Setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis accessory is a good match if you want signal-based, remote control of a supported Victron MPPT charge controller and you do not need the VE.Direct port for anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis may be a good fit if:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou use a BlueSolar or SmartSolar MPPT charge controller that needs a remote on\/off input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want your charger enabled by a high signal and disabled otherwise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou do not need the VE.Direct port for a GX device or Bluetooth Smart dongle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou like to review the manual and plan wiring before you buy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm your exact controller model, whether it already includes a Remote On\/Off terminal, and that your signal source works with this cable.
