Jeff,
I use a battery contactor on my Zodiac 601XL/Jab3300A, activated by the 
master switch.  I also use a relay operated by an alternator switch to bring 
power from the alternator to the buss bar.  The "Master Switch"  is a split 
Cessna type (Master and Alternator switch).  If you close the Alt you 
automatically close the Master.  I procured the relay from Radio Shack.
