@sequoia464 posted:Mark, I had a 2000 watt Renogy - just an inverter, no charger - the only wiring connection from it was AC wiring going into my stand alone PD ATS. I did not need the unit turned on with shore power.
I replaced that setup recently with a Kisae 2000 watt inverter/charger with a built in ATS. Wiring is different now of course with an AC line to and from the unit. The Kisae automatically powers up when I'm on shore power, I'm figuring that it needs to monitor the juice running through and turn on/off fans as necessary.
I was expecting a simple pass through, but I can see why the unit needs to be on.
Ron, I was anticipating wiring the Renogy unit like you mentioned in the first paragraph. I do have to contact Renogy for some additional questions based on some above comments.
Thanks
