2.2 Setting Up the MagWeb Device
Mount the MagWeb device in a location that is dry and away from extreme
temperatures. Use the two supplied #8 x 3/4” screws to securely affi x the
module. Allow ample room to view the MagWeb device’s LED and to access
all connectors.
CAUTION: Do not mount the MagWeb device in a closed battery
compartment, or in an area where water or any other liquid
can enter the device and cause shorting or corrosion. Failure
due to improper mounting is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: Before beginning the installation, ensure all AC
power is disconnected from the inverter, and all battery supply
cables are disconnected from the battery bank or switched
off with an appropriately rated circuit breaker. There should
be no fl ashing or lit LEDs on the Magnum inverter or on any
accessories.
CAUTION: When connecting battery power to the inverter, all
battery negative connections must be connected prior to the
battery positive connections. When removing battery power
from the inverter, the battery positive should be removed
before any battery negative connections are disconnected. This
is done to prevent any communication chips/lines from becom-
ing the DC return path to the battery – causing permanent
damage to all connected accessories on the network.
Summation: Always ensure all battery negative circuits are
connected before connecting or disconnecting battery positive.
