Remote on-off for Phoenix 12/1200 Inverter from MPPT Solar Charger

I have a SmartSolar MPPT Controller used in conjunction with a Phoenix 12/1200 Inverter.

I was going to use the Inverting remote on-off cable to switch the inverter on but looking at the manual it states:

Inverting remote on-off cable (1) used to interface between the load output of the MPPT 75/15 or MPPT 100/15 and the Phoenix inverters model 12/180, 24/180, 12/350, 24/350.

The Victron inverters model Phoenix 12/800, 24/800, 12/1200 and 24/1200 require active pull up to switch on and can be controlled by connecting the right side connection of the inverter remote control directly to the load output of the solar charger

Does this mean I should still use the inverting remote cable or simply connect them with normal copper cable? There seems to be a distinction being made.

@trent if you have a Ve Direct Phoenix, look at figure 5.
