3.3 Remote Buttons and Menu Items
The fi ve menu pushbuttons (SHORE, AGS, METER, SETUP, or TECH) allow the
inverter/charger system to be confi gured to your specifi c preferences. These
menus also allow you to access menu items that can help with monitoring
and troubleshooting your system.
This section covers each menu button’s function and its various confi gurable
settings. This helps to optimize the operation of the inverter/charger.
3.3.1 SHORE Menu
This menu button enables you to quickly change your Shore Max setting to
coordinate with the circuit breaker rating from the incoming AC source.
• SHORE: Shore Max – This ensures the inverter AC loads receive the
maximum current available from the utility/generator. Whenever the
utility/generator is connected to the inverter (via AC HOT 1), the current
used to power the AC loads and to charge the batteries is monitored.
When the total current used to power the AC loads and charge the
batteries begins to approach the Shore Max setting, the current that was
used for charging the batteries is automatically reduced. This ensures
the AC loads have the needed current. (Not available on MM/MM-E/
MM-AE/MMS/MMS-E models)
Default setting: Shore Max = 30A
Range: 5-60A

Table 3-1, ME-RC Compatibility Matrix (cont.)
* 12-volt values shown; for 24v systems – multiply x2; for 48v systems– multiply x 4.
** These settings return to factory default setting when power to remote is removed.
ME-RC Compatibility Matrix Notes:
[1] Not available on MM/MM-E/MM-AE/MMS/MMS-E models.
[2] AC Couple mode can be activated using Battery Type: Custom, only with MS-PAE
Series ≥Rev 4.1 or MS/MS-PE Series ≥5.0.
[3] The AC amps displays are not shown unless connected to MS-PAE, MS-PE or MSH
Series models.
[4] Level 2 and 3 inverters can be used, but Level 2 inverters are limited from 1.0 hour
to 4.5 hours, Level 3 inverters <Rev 4.1 are limited from 1.0 to 6.5 hours; and Level 3
inverters ≥Rev. 4.1 (and MMS Rev 1.5) are limited from 1.5 to 6.5 hours; any setting
outside these limited ranges are not recognized and reverts to the inverter’s default
absorption time (2.0 hours).
[5] Requires ≥Level 4 to display.
[6] BM/SOC features require the ME-BMK (Battery Monitor Kit) to be installed.
