The Victron Inverter Control VE.Direct is a compact remote on/off panel for Victron inverters fitted with a VE.Direct port. It lets installers switch a compatible inverter on or off from a convenient location without needing a full monitoring display or network setup.

Key features

• Connection, hardwired VE.Direct port, giving a direct, interference-free control signal.
• Weight, 35 g (0.035 kg), suitable for panel mounting or fitting inside enclosures.
• Operation, simple two-state on/off switch, no configuration or software needed.
• SKU, REC040010210R, GTIN 8719076041344.

Product overview

This control panel connects to the VE.Direct port found on a range of Victron inverters. It provides a dedicated physical switch for remote operation, useful where the inverter itself sits somewhere awkward to reach, such as a battery compartment, plant room or roof space. The panel can be mounted wherever is most convenient for the end user.

Because it works over VE.Direct rather than wireless or a relay, the signal path is direct and does not rely on a hub, network or additional software. It is a straightforward way to add remote switching to a VE.Direct inverter installation without the cost of a full monitoring system.

Applications

• Remote on/off switching in off-grid cabins, narrowboats and motorhomes.
• Panel-mounted control in marine systems where the inverter is fitted below deck.
• Commercial and industrial off-grid setups with the inverter in a separate plant room.
• Any VE.Direct inverter installation needing a simple hardwired switch without a monitoring display.

Installation notes

Fitting should be carried out by someone familiar with Victron VE.Direct systems. Check the target inverter has a free VE.Direct port before ordering, since only one VE.Direct device can normally be connected per port. Follow appropriate isolation procedures when working on battery-connected inverter systems.
