The easy way to configure 120v aux loads

[coniferous]

Hey guys,

i bought one of these the other day and hooked it up to aux 1 on my controller - this thing is great and makes it really easy to hook up a waste not or diversion load, would recommend.

Looks good and for the price saves a lot of messing around .

What are you controlling with it ?

Right now I'm using it to control my small inverter that powers my internet equipment. It's set to waste not high, turn off at 12.1 and on at 13.

Just a precaution in case winter decides to scew us with sunlight.

Thanks, I've seen a lot of people reccomend solid sate relays, and they do work and it's a good idea. But its labor intensive and leaves lots of exposed wires (depending on how you do it).

This is not a solid state, so it's not really suitable for super high current or rapid switching, but it's still a nice complete all in one package that makes using the aux outputs much easier
