A-4 Optional Equipment and Accessories
The following Magnum Energy components are available for use with the MS Series inverter/Charger.
Some of these items are required depending upon the intended use of the inverter.
A-4.1 Automatic Generator Start (AGS) Controller
The Magnum Auto Gen Start controller is designed to automatically start your generator based on
low battery condition or high temperature.
The AGS controller includes an input voltage jumper
(for 12, 24 and 48 volt battery banks) and a 4-position DIP (Dual In-line Package) switch which
provides the ability to change the relay timing confi gurations to allow compatibility with a wide
range of generators.
Adjustable settings include battery start voltage, start temperature, run time, and “Quiet Time”
with an easy to set clock. AGS settings do not interfere with the manual start/stop operation of
the generator.
Two models are available. The ME-AGS-S
TM
is the Stand-alone version for installation and operation
without an inverter; or the ME-AGS-N
TM
which is the Network version, allowing operation of the
AGS via the ME-RC Remote Control.
A-4.2 Fuse Block/Fuses
The Magnum Fuse/Fuse-block are used to protect the battery bank, inverter, and cables from
damage caused by DC short circuits and overloads. They include a slow-blow, high current Class-T
fuse with mounting block and protective cover, available in 300 and 400 amps.
A-4.3 Remote Control Display
The ME-RC
TM
Remote Control is simple to use; an easy-to-read LCD screen and “at a glance” LEDs
display complete inverter/charger status. Soft keys provide simple access to menus and a rotary
encoder knob allows you to scroll through and select a wide range of settings such as Inverter
ON/OFF, Charger ON/OFF, Shore Power Breaker Setting, AGS Control, METER, SETUP and TECH
menus.
A-4.4 Battery Monitor
The Battery Monitor Kit (ME-BMK
TM
) is a single battery bank amp-hour meter that monitors
the condition of the battery and provides information to let you know how much energy you
have available and let you plan your electrical usage to ensure the battery is not being over-
discharged.
A-4.5 Remote Switch Adapters
The ME-RSA
TM
and ME-RSA-M
TM
pigtail adapters allow the inverter to be remotely switched on and
off - with or without the ME-RC remote display.
A-4.6 Conduit Box
The ME-CB
TM
conduit box connects to the front side of the inverter and allows conduit connections
when required for the AC and DC wiring.
A-4.7 Battery Combiner
The Magnum Smart Battery Combiner (ME-SBC
TM
) is designed to monitor and charge a second
battery using a portion of the current that is charging a main battery. The ME-SBC eliminates
a signifi cant voltage drop and provides automatic turn on and off based on adjustable voltage
setpoints; allowing different batteries to be charged from a single charging source and preventing
over or under charging.
