cyrix Li-charge and solar controller

Can I use a Cyrix Li-charge as an overvoltage charge cutoff on Victron 250/85 controllers? I see that the Li-Charge doesn't connect unless the charge voltage is over 13.7. Won't this prevent the solar controllers from operating? Also, if the Cyrix disconnects while the solar controller is charging, will that damage the solar controller?

You should use the remote on/off terminal to switch the MPPT on/off.

Cutting the connection to the battery at full charging can damage the MPPT.
