I have the old style Phoenix inverter remote control panel (UTP) and a Phoenix 3000W inverter. Is there a creative way of having both the remote control panel working and be able to have a BMS turn it off through it's remote on/off? I know the manual states it's either the remote on/off or the remote control panel but perhaps I could splice something into the UTP cable that would enable or disable it?
The remote on/ off is usually a switch wired up to the inverter. If the BMS has a volt free relay used to enable / disable load circuits (most of them do) then this relay can be wired in series with the remote switch.
Thanks, in this case the remote control panel has a few additional features, like a set of status lights.

And the UTP connections on the inverter are also used to sync multiple inverters, so I am not sure if it's just a simple wire to break or if the control panel is more intelligent.
