<p>Ray,</p>
<p>The mobile version of the Little Rosie is listed to UL489 and
UL1741 so it can be used in residential applications as well as
mobile applications. The neutral bond switching makes particular
sense for using the Little Rosie with a portable generator, which
is appropriate for a small inverter.</p>

<p>Maybe I'm missing something, but I just skimmed through the
manual, and it appears the Little RosieM is meant for mobile
applications. It mentions an RE version for off grid, but I
can't find that anywhere. The manual just discusses class T
fuses, makes no mention of breakers. It looks like a cool
inverter with a form factor similar to an old Trace DR, but not
really seeing the usual matching Midnite BOS components we've
come to expect. My guess is they're working on all of that for
the RE version, which isn't quite ready.</p>
<p>In the meantime, one of their E panel lites could be used.
You'd have some exposed DC cable though, which seems to be the
"IN" thing these days with many of the latest LiPO4
batteries.......:) Apparently, one man's code compliance is
another man's unnecessary hangup........Also don't wire the
neutral through the switched neutral relay in the inverter. </p>
<p>Personally, I'd just wait for the RE version and the
accompanying BOS to come out. Maybe a Victron in the meantime?
Used Magnum on Flea Bay? The pickin's are slim for us poor off
grid installers these days....</p>

<div dir="ltr">Great, thank you Kent. I didn't realize
the AC and DC terminals needed to be on top, I
should have read the manual before asking. I can now
see how the access door would be blocked if there
were also a charge controller mounted on the door. I
thought the Plus models were wider than the Lite but
it appears my assumption was wrong. Seems it could
still work if the controller were mounted off on the
side of the chassis but for now I'll try to come up
with a better plan. Lots of mice around here so I
can see how your point of dropping "things" into the
top ventilation slots could really be an issue.

</div>
<div>Assuming your generator is large enough are you
finding that the 60 amp DC charger is working on a
similar ratio as the VFX's 45 amp charger?</div>

Nick,<br>
<br>
I recently looked into installing a Little Rosie
on the door of an <br>
E-panel lite and decided against it. Just not
enough room to get the <br>
battery cables connected. I ended up with the
Little Rosie mounted <br>
vertically beside an E-panel lite. To tell you the
truth I wasn't happy <br>
with the vertical installation of the little
Rosie. Per the installation <br>
manual you are only allowed to mount it vertically
in one orientation <br>
and that leaves the top of the Little Rosie at
risk of dropping things <br>
into it through the ventilation slots.<br>
