Change AC Input type with switch?

Hi all. I’ve a system with a 24V Multiplus inverter/charger . It has a single AC input, which I have connected to a 230V accessory socket. I can either hook this up to shore (grid) power, or, a diesel genny that we carry about (work vehicle).

My question is, is there a simple way to update the ‘AC Input 1 Type’ on the CerboGX to the actual source type (maybe using the digital inputs? Is that possible?) so that, when looking at reports on VRM, we get accurate data?

I can manually do this via our GX Touch, but it’s like a million menu items to find and the chances are someone will forget to set it correctly. So I was thinking a selector switch would be ideal if it was possible to toggle it in this way.


Thanks!

Check out Kevin windrem generator transfer switch mod. It is intended for use with an ats but could easily be used with a digital input and a manual switch to do exactly what you are looking for.

Hi, thank you for your help! Do you mean this mod: https://github.com/kwindrem/GeneratorConnector

seams that it is not usable anymore after V2.90 of Venus.
