The Magnums do not have relays available like the old SWs, but you can
run a Zephyr directly from either a Outback FM controller or a Midnite
Classic. Both have a controlled 200 mA, 12 output. I've had occasional
trouble running the Zephyr because as weird as this sounds: the fan can
have a start up surge that exceeds 200 mA. Its like sizing a water pump
for mice.....you still have to look at the locked rotor current and
surge current. With the Midnite Classic, it will just shut off the 12 v
output if it exceeds 200 mA, and it doesn't seem to have an error
message or warning.
You could also use a Simple Switch, or other voltage controlled
switching device (C40, Tristar, Solar Converters, etc)

Dear folks:
Has anyone hooked up a battery vent fan, being turned on and off using
just a Magnum MS4024PAE inverter? Is there some AUX output that can
be used?
Thanks as always for your help!
