I have not seen much or any installs of a 433 MHz RF kill switch other than physical Toggle Switches. This is the set up I am preferring-it eliminates a physical TS that may or not be discovered and use of a key fob to arm/disarm the wireless switch is naturally seamless to a DD activities.
Suggestions I have seen is to just install a TS inline with to Inertia Switch. I am not an electrician but a weekend afternoon under the tree DIY'er. I am comfortable following pro's instructions. Looking at the IS the wires are the thin types which makes me think a 30 amp switch is not required for this setup, since you are not switching the fuel pump itself directly, but a simple Toggle switch, is that correct?
The RF switch I am eyeing is 12v 10 amps. Is this sufficient while maintaining safety, basically not introducing a fire hazard?
ADDING INTERESTING TWIST,
How can you wire this in a way that the horn blares with every cranking attempt if the RF Fob was not used to enable the kill switch?
