1.0 Overview

The ME-ARC remote control allows you to monitor and customize the operating parameters for

your Magnum inverter/charger. This remote can be used on all Magnum inverter/charger models

so there is no cross-platform confusion.

The ME-ARC50 comes standard with a 50-foot, 4-conductor (twisted-pair) telephone cable and

includes non-volatile memory (preserves adjustable settings, even if power to the remote or in-

verter is removed).

Info: This manual is for a ME-ARC with software version 4.0 or higher; see the TECH:

02 Versions section on page 36 for information on how to determine your version level.

• LED Indicators – The at-a-glance LEDs provide the inverter/charger status in a straightforward

way.

• LCD Display – The LCD display is a 16 x 2 line (32 characters total) alphanumeric display

used for setting up the inverter/charger operation, as well as viewing current status or fault

messages.

• ON/OFF Pushbuttons (x2) – The ON/OFF pushbuttons allow the inverter or charger to be

independently and quickly enabled or disabled.

• Menu Buttons (x5) – Allow the inverter or charger to be conﬁ gured to your speciﬁ c system

preferences. These buttons also allow simple access to menu items that can help with

monitoring and troubleshooting your inverter/charger system.

used to quickly scroll through and select various menu items and settings. Pressing the rotary

knob allows you to select a menu item, or to save a setting once it is displayed on the LCD.
