Setup

3.0 Setup

When the remote is connected to a Magnum inverter/charger, the settings in the remote control

determine the inverter/charger’s operating parameters. The default settings in the remote con-

trol are adequate for most installations (see Table 3-3); however, you have the option to change

some of the operating parameters. This section shows you how to navigate the remote and gives

you an understanding of the function of each adjustable setting.

3.1 Navigating the Remote

The ME-ARC has menu items and adjustable settings that provide the ability to conﬁ gure your

inverter/charger to your speciﬁ c parameters.

Info: See Figures 4-1 through 4-5 for complete maps of the inverter/charger’s menu

items and adjustable settings.

Familiarize yourself with the display and controls on the remote’s front panel that are used to

ﬁ nd, adjust, and save the desired settings (see Figure 3-1).

• LCD Display – The 2-line LCD display shows status and information for the inverter/charger

and any attached accessories. All setup menus and faults also appear on the LCD display.

Info: The LCD display returns to the remote home screen to show DC voltage and

current (see Figure 3-1) after ﬁ ve minutes if no buttons have been pressed.

Info: When the ← (left facing arrow) symbol is shown on the display, the displayed

setting has been selected and will be used.

• Menu Buttons (x5) – These ﬁ ve buttons allow simple access to menu items that can help

with conﬁ guring, monitoring, and troubleshooting your inverter/charger system.

• Rotary SELECT Knob – This rotary knob allows you to quickly scroll through and select vari-

ous menu items and settings. Pressing the knob selects the menu item to change, or saves

the current selection.

Info: Hold down the SELECT knob for 10 seconds to refresh the LCD display.
