Remote switch to turn off inverter

I have the same basic issue and I would guess that smketter is probably the closest to the answer. We dont need to break the 12 volt side with relays etc, all we want to do is remotely operate the on off switch. Breaking the 12 volt side would let my converter power off but I would still have to bend down and turn it back on every time.

My inverter is under the kitchen cabinet so it's close to the battery box. It has a soft touch type switch on the front panel.If we forget to turn it on we have to get out of bed and go turn the inverter on so the tv works. I know, I know it is torture but that's what we have to do.

I haven't researched and I dont see a port on my xantrex 600 to add a remote switch.

My concern is that if I open it up I will find that the membrane type switch is part of a circuit board. Maybe the op has a rocker switch which is a manual switch and would be pretty easy to do.

Op if you can add a switch to turn it on and off it wont use any more power. It will save power by not being on all night.

EDIT
I removed mine so I could see the end of it and it does have a port.

Open the inverter and add a switch in series with existing.
Pull a thin wire such as phone cord to position the new switch in the location you prefer.

1000w inverter, you need a relay with contacts rated for at least 90 amps, they will have too carry the amp load into the inverter

A continuous duty relay as used to operate winches or as a battery isolater is what you need to interrupt the DC supply to the inverter.
$25 or so at auto stores or less online.
Make sure it's listed as continuous duty .
A simply 18 gauge wire to operate the coil on the relay and any switch.
Good Luck, Mike

Some inverters have this as an option. I was looking at a Morningstar SureSine 300 for low wattage uses, and it comes with the ability to wire up a remote switch as well as a meter.

My inverter had a remote switch option so it was a simple matter of plugging it in. Now if you really want to do it youll need a heavy duty relay a length of 18ga wire and a basic toggle switch. Pretty simple stuff really
