 ==== 3.1 Inverter controls in VRM ====
-The AC input current limit of the grid can be adjusted. For this, you can either select one of the pre-defined values, or enter your own input limit preference in amps.
+VE.Bus Inverter controls can be made available on the VRM Dashboard, but require an additional step to enable in the Settings for that specific VRM Installation. This is to prevent accidentally switching off the system.

+It is ONLY recommended to enable this easy system shutdown control for small systems in non-critical environments. It is STRONGLY recommended to leave this feature disabled for large mission critical systems, or where there are multiple users with access to the Admin controls.
+Once enabled, you can access the settings via the control button.
-Changing the inverter mode is also possible in VRM. You can switch between charger or inverter only, turning it on or off.

-After selecting a change to the inverter mode, you will get 5 seconds to cancel the request. After this, the change is sent to the device.

+Note - This feature is only available for VE.Bus models, is not available for VE.Direct, or VE.Can inverters. Also, there is a limitation where these controls are not available when using a Digital Multi Control, or VE.Bus BMS v1 in the system.
