Hello,
I am installing a multiplus compact 2000VA, 12V, 120V on a sailboat.
In previous installation using a 3000VA model, there was an AC-out2 output that was not powered while inverting. Since I want the water heater to be powered only by the AC-in, not by the inverter, it was easy to just connect it to AC-out2.
There is no AC-out2 on the compact 2000VA.
How would you recommend I integrate the water heater in the system? the idea is not having to use a source selector switch (ie shore/inverter rotary switch) .
Is there a way to program the aux relay so it's on only when inverting (AC-in off)?
this way, I can use it to control an external relay, with the water heater on a normally close contact. when it's inverting, the contact opens and disconnects the water heater.
Any help appreciated.
