Appendix - Optional Equipment and Accessories
The following Magnum Energy components are available for use
with the MM-AE 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
TM
) 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 volt-
age set-points. This allows different batteries to be charged from a
single charging source, and prevents overcharging/undercharging.
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 al-
lows you to scroll through and select a wide range of settings.
Auto Generator Start Controller
The ME-AGS-N Automatic Generator Start controller (Network ver-
sion) 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.
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 infor-
mation 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 Magnum 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.
DC Load Disconnect
The MM-DCLD (DC Load Disconnect) pigtail adapter is designed to
provide a means to DISABLE the inverter function when a 12 volt
DC signal is removed.
Ignition Switch Activate
The MM-ISA is a pigtail adapter designed to automatically ENABLE
the inverter function when a 12 volt DC signal is supplied.
