A-1 Remote Feature to Inverter Compatibility
The ME-ARC has many settings and is designed to work with the advanced features in your Mag-
num inverter—and/or other Magnum devices (i.e., ME-AGS-N, ACLD-40, PT-100 or ME-BMK).
The remote communicates with your inverter to allow the set up and enabling of these advanced
features. However, when the ME-ARC is released with new software, some of the features and
functionality in the remote may not be available in an inverter or networked accessory that has
an earlier software level. In this case, the advanced setting is not recognized and will not func-
tion. Use the steps below to help you determine which ARC (Version 4.0) menus/features are
compatible with your inverter.
1. Go to: http://magnumenergy.com/inverter-compatibility/ to determine your inverter’s com-
patibility level (L1, L2, L3, or L4).
2. Use Table A-1 to determine which ME-ARC ‘features/settings’ you want to use and what in-
verter compatibility level is required (see the “Model/Level Required” column in Table A-1).
3. If your inverter compatibility level is the same or greater than the level required, your in-
verter can support the device setting/feature you want.
4. If your inverter does not have the required compatibility level for a feature/setting you want,
contact Magnum Energy for a software upgrade.
