Yes, this inverter features a low voltage alarm that will sound when the voltage of the battery drop to between 11.3 and 10.7 volts. If this alarm is ignored the low voltage shutdown will activate, this happens when the battery voltage drops to between 10.2 and 10.8 volts. These features make this inverter a great choice to ensure that battery is not completely discharged.

Question

What is the pinout for the remote switching jack?

The unit has an RJ45 jack for remote switching. I don't want to use the NPower switch. I have a nice dash mounted switch. I need to know the pinout configuration in order to do this. The manual does not show what the pinout of the RJ45 connector is.

This inverter is designed to work only with the recommended switch and should not be wired to another type of switch as damage to the unit or a potentially unsafe situation could result.
