Installation

2.4 Mounting the ME-ARC Remote

The ME-ARC can either be ﬂ ush mounted (through an opening in the wall), or surface mounted

using the provided bezel. Find a location that is clean, dry and protected. Allow room to access

the remote’s SELECT knob and to view the LEDs/display.

CAUTION: Ensure that no AC power is connected to the inverter, and then according

the your inverter owner’s manual correctly connect the inverter to the batteries.

CAUTION: Always check for hidden electrical wires, pipes and cables BEFORE drilling,

cutting, or screwing into walls or cabinets.

2.4.1 Flush Mount Installation Procedure

To ﬂ ush mount, the wall opening must have at least a 2” (5 cm) depth to allow room for the re-

mote and the cable.

1. Cut an opening in the wall (Figure 2-5). Ensure there are no openings around the display

and enough material for the screws to secure the unit.

2. Drill four pilot holes for the #8-32 screws that will attach the remote to the wall (refer to

Figure 2-3 for hole locations and dimensions).

3. Route one end of the cable through the wall cutout to the inverter/charger, and then plug

it into the RJ11 REMOTE port (blue label) on the inverter/charger—inverter has DC power,

but is OFF. See Figure 2-2.

4. Take the other end of the remote cable and while plugging it into the back of the ME-ARC,

view the remote’s display to ensure the Power-up Self Test initiates (see Section 2.5).

5. If the self test is successful, secure the ME-ARC to the wall using four of the supplied Phillips

screws. If the self test is unsuccessful, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
