1.0 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the MS Series inverter/charger from Magnum Energy. The

MS Series is a “pure” sine wave inverter designed especially for rugged mobile applications, home

backup power and stand-alone applications. Powerful, yet simple to use, this inverter/charger

will provide you with years of trouble-free performance you have come to expect from Magnum

Energy.

Installation is easy. Simply connect the inverter’s output to your distribution circuits or electrical

panel; connect your utility or AC generator power to the inverter’s easy-to-reach terminal block;

connect the batteries, and then switch it on for power.

With the optional accessories listed below you can control and monitor many other Magnum

Devices.

The MS Series Inverter/Charger includes the following:

2000, 2800, or 4000 Watt Models in a small footprint - less weight and area needed for

installation

Pure Sine Wave Output

Automatic PFC (Power Factor Corrected) multi-stage battery charging

RS485 standard communication protocol

Remote and Network ports (easy connection for optional accessories)

ON/OFF Inverter-mounted switch with LED indicator

60 Amp AC Transfer available (using Dual IN/Dual OUT wiring)

Large AC access and terminal block [wire size: 14 to 6 AWG (2.1 to 13.3 mm

) CU]

DC terminal covers with 360 degree connection

Field Serviceable for qualiﬁ ed personnel - tested repair kits available

Smooth, aesthetically pleasing design

ETL listed to UL/cUL STDs 458, 1741 and CSA STD 22.2 107.01-01 for safety.

Automatic battery temperature compensation (using battery temperature sensor) - for

optimum charging even during extreme temperature changes

Over-current, over-temperature, and high/low battery voltage protection

The following accessories are also available for use with the MS Series inverter/charger:

ME-RC (Remote Control Display) - communicates with the inverter to: 1. Easily operate

display to help with troubleshooting inverter faults.

ME-AGS-N (Automatic Generator Start Module - Network version) - communicates with

the inverter to automatically start/stop your connected generator.

ME-BMK (Battery Monitor Kit) - communicates with the inverter to provides precise DC

voltage/current measurements and information on the battery’s State of Charge (SOC).

ME-CB (Conduit Box) - provides 1/2” - 2” knockouts for connecting AC and DC conduit

runs to the inverter.

ME-SBC (Smart Battery Combiner) - monitors and keeps a second battery charged using

a portion of the current that is charging a main battery.
