A-2 Optional Equipment and Accessories

The following Sensata Technologies components are available for use with the ME Series inverter/

charger. Some of these items are required depending upon the intended use of the inverter.

Smart Battery Combiner

The Smart Battery Combiner (ME-SBC

) is designed to monitor and charge a second battery using

a portion of the current that is charging the main battery. The ME-SBC eliminates a signiﬁ cant

voltage drop, and provides automatic turn-on and turn-off based on adjustable voltage set-

points. This allows different batteries to be charged from a single charging source, and prevents

overcharging/undercharging.

Remote Switch Adapters

The ME-RSA

and ME-RSA-M

pigtail adapters allow the inverter to be remotely switched on and

off – with or without the ME-RC50 remote display.

Basic Remote Control

The ME-RC50 Remote Control Panel is simple to use; an 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, Shorepower Breaker Setting, AGS Control, as well as Meter, Setup and Tech

menus.

Advanced Remote Control

The ME-ARC50 Remote Control Panel uses an LCD screen and “at a glance” LEDs to provide

operating information and allow advanced features to be conﬁ gured (requires Magnum inverters

with advanced conﬁ gurable features). This LCD remote control also provides advanced monitoring/

troubleshooting and includes a FAVS button to access your favorite features quickly.

Auto Generator Start Controller

The ME-AGS-N Automatic Generator Start controller (Network version) 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 wider range of generators. Adjustable settings when using the ME-

ARC50 include starting the generator based on: Battery Voltage, Time Of Day, Battery ‘State of

Charge’ or High Temperature.

Battery Monitor Kit

The ME-BMK Battery Monitor Kit 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. The ME-BMK-

NS version does not include a DC shunt—order the ME-BMK to receive a 500A/50mv DC shunt.

Fuse Block/Fuses

The Fuse/Fuse-blocks are used to protect the battery bank, inverter, and cables from damage

caused by DC short circuits and overloads. They include a slow-blow fuse with mounting block and

protective cover. The 125 and 200-amp models use an ANL type fuse and the 300 and 400-amp

models use a Class-T fuse.
