Does this inverter comes with the optional "Connect Inverter ON/OFF Indicator Jack?" It sounds to me is a way to find out if the inverter is inverting or not, without triggering it to come on when the sense circuit sense the current draw.

I never seen these inverter, so take my comment with a big block of salt here.

Both the remote panel and the inverter have a LED light that comes on Yellow when the inverter is providing AC power from the batteries. You can see this yellow light in some of the pictures in post one above. I don't think the model being discussed has the on/off jack port.

Update... I have come to the conclusion that the voltage sensor seems to not be operating. It always thinks there is voltage so it is always inverting. I will plan on keeping the inverter in charge only and turning the the inverter on when I need it. I can’t justify spending the $600-$800 to replace it. Maybe some day. Thanks for all the help and I will post if I figure out anything else.

I wonder if there is a way to install a remote switch or relay so that it will be easier for you to change the inverter mode.
