Victron VE.Direct Non-Inverting Remote On-Off Cable: Precision Control for MPPT Charge Controllers

Seamless Remote Management for BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT Models

The Victron VE.Direct Non-Inverting Remote On-Off Cable provides a reliable, low-power solution for remotely switching compatible Victron MPPT charge controllers. Designed for systems where manual intervention is impractical, this cable enables automated on/off control based on an external voltage signal—ideal for integrating with battery management systems, remote monitoring setups, or custom control logic.

When the input signal rises above approximately 6 V, the connected MPPT activates; when it drops below 1 V or becomes free floating, the unit shuts down. This non-inverting behaviour ensures straightforward integration with most digital logic and control circuits, eliminating the need for additional signal conditioning.

Engineered for Reliable Low-Voltage Control

Unlike generic remote cables that may suffer from signal drift or unreliable switching thresholds, this Victron accessory is purpose-built for the VE.Direct ecosystem. The in-line interface module houses robust circuitry that tolerates input voltages up to 70 V, providing a wide safety margin for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V nominal systems. The stripped and tinned yellow wire lead simplifies field termination, while the standard VE.Direct plug ensures a secure, tool-free connection to your charge controller.

• Non-inverting logic: high signal (>6 V) turns MPPT on, low (<1 V) or floating turns it off
• Wide input voltage range up to 70 V for flexible integration
• Compatible with BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers featuring a VE.Direct port
• Pre-assembled with VE.Direct connector and tinned wire lead for quick installation
• Low standby power consumption preserves battery energy

Applications Across Off-Grid and Mobile Power Systems

This cable is particularly valuable in installations where charge controllers are mounted in inaccessible locations, such as RV battery compartments, marine engine rooms, or remote equipment enclosures. It allows system integrators to implement remote shutdown during maintenance, low-battery disconnect, or generator start/stop sequences without running heavy-gauge DC wiring to a manual switch.

Common use cases include:

• Remote on/off control for solar charge controllers in caravans and motorhomes
• Integration with third-party battery monitors or PLCs for automated energy management
• Enabling safe shutdown in lithium battery systems during cell-level fault conditions
• Reducing parasitic loads by turning off the MPPT when the vehicle or vessel is in storage

Installation and Compatibility Notes

The cable connects directly to the VE.Direct port found on most modern Victron MPPT models. No additional drivers or configuration are required—simply plug in and apply the control signal. For best results, use a clean DC voltage source and ensure the control circuit can sink enough current to pull the input below 1 V when deactivated. The tinned copper lead resists corrosion in humid or coastal environments, maintaining reliable contact over time.

Note: This is the non-inverting variant (part number ASS030550320). For applications requiring inverted logic (low signal to turn on), please refer to the Victron VE.Direct Inverting Remote On-Off Cable.
