Phoenix 500 remote bridge / switch

I have a Phoenix 500 inverter and want to switch this on/off remotely using a 12v supply. I have removed the black jumper cable on the green bridge.

Which bridge terminal should I use for the switch supply?

My downloaded manual does not cover this.

You can connect the left hand terminal to 12V to activate the inverter.

From the manual:

3.6 Remote on/off connector A remote on/off switch can be connected to the two-pole connector. Alternatively, the left-hand contact of the connector can be switched to battery positive: useful in automotive applications, wire it to the ignition contact.
