I recently installed a Phoenix Ip43 smart charger on my boat. I would like to be able to remotely switch it off and on via vrm or victronconnect. I don't see any options to do this? I can do it for my mppt controllers in victron connect using "charger enabled" toggle bit this option doesn't show for the ip43? Thanks in advance.
Wire the remote on/off to the cerbo relay and you can use the vrm side bar or from the GX itself.
As Alexandra above has answered:
The remote on/off on the charger should be just a very short black link wire between two adjacent terminals on the Pheonix Charger. Plug it in and it goes, unplug it and it stops. it is just a link.
The Cerbo or GX relay will have three terminals labelled Common/ Normally open and Normally closed.
You are correct in only needing two wires from the Cerbo to the charger.
One wire from the Cerbo Relay Common terminal to one of the remote terminals on the charger and the other from the Cerbo Relay Normally Open terminal to the other remote terminal on the charger.
