How to add a switch to Phoenix 12/1200 inverter?

Hello,

I just bought an inverter for my RV, the Phoenix 12/1200 model, and I would like to be able to turn it on and off remotely.

I have seen that I can buy a 20$ switch from Victron, which seems to be a normal switch, just overpriced.

Also I would like to use a switch that I have in a dashboard, already installed.

How can I plug a basic switch? I have seen those L and H remote ports at the back, but I don't know if it should be powered, if I have to make a loop from H to L with a switch in the middle or anything else.

I'm pretty new to electricity stuff and wiring and would like to get some help, thanks!

Your help is much appreciated, have a nice day

Corentin

Yes, a normal switch will do the same thing.
Take the small wire loop out of the terminal block and then take two wires to your switch terminals.
