1 .0 I nt r oduct ion

Congratulations on your purchase of a MS-PE Series inverter/charger from Magnum Energy. The

MS-PE Series is a “pure” sine wave inverter designed especially for rugged mobile applications,

home backup power, and standalone applications that require 230 VAC/50 Hz power. Powerful,

yet simple to use, this inverter/charger will provide you with years of trouble-free performance

you have come to expect from Magnum Energy.

When the power requirements of the system are beyond the capacity of a single MS-PE Series

inverter or the system is expanded as more loads are added, up to four MS-PE Series inverters

can be connected together in a parallel conﬁ guration. Connecting inverters in parallel increases

the overall inverter power and surge capacity to power a large single load or several smaller loads.

I nfo: This is a sizeable manual and much of it is fairly technical. Terms may be used

throughout the manual that are unfamiliar to you. Refer to the Inverter/Charger

Terminology glossary in Appendix D for clariﬁ cation.

The MS-PE Series inverter/charger includes the following:

• 4100 or 4300-watt models in a small footprint installation

• Ability to parallel up to four identical MS-PE inverters to increase output power capability

• Automatic Power Factor Corrected (PFC) multi-stage battery charging

• RS485 standard communication protocol

• Remote and Network ports (easy connection for optional accessories)

• Inverter-mounted ON/OFF switch with LED indicator

• 30-amp AC pass-thru capability

• DC terminal covers with 360 degree connection

• Field-serviceable for qualiﬁ ed personnel—tested repair kits available

• Automatic battery temperature compensation (using a battery temperature sensor)—for

optimum charging even during extreme temperature changes

• Overcurrent, over-temperature, and high/low battery voltage protection

I nfo: Refer to the Optional Equipment and Accessories section in Appendix A-2 for a

list of accessories available for use with your MS-PE Series inverter/charger.
