<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">The Morningstar Sure Sine
inverter and MPPT charge controller sound like a good match considering the
reliability of their products. But when I tried to use the CCs ability to act as
a timer to turn on/off the Sure Sine via its remote on –off input terminals I
found that the two are not compatible. A call to tech support and I find that I
must use a third-party relay to activate the 1P-1T switch on the Sure Sine.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I’m sure other Wrenches have
come across this combination before for a 12V lighting system so I’m wondering
what specific brand or technology of relay works reliably in a hot location. I
prefer to have a DIN mounted relay but will consider something else.
