A. Yes. The Fx inverters have a 12 volt DC powered relay that has enough power to run one Power Vent. There are disadvantages and advantages to this. Hook up is easy. The fan will always run at one speed due to the regulated voltage source, most likely providing longer life. When the Power Vent is run directly from the batteries the fan speed goes up and vents more at higher voltages . To do this with an Outback auxillary relay requires an additional relay switched by the 12 volts Outback source, but powering the Power Vent from the batteries.
