3.2 Remote Feature to Inverter Compatibility
The ME-ARC has many settings and is designed to work with the advanced
features in your Magnum inverter—and/or other Magnum devices (i.e., ME-
AGS-N or ME-BMK). The ME-ARC 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 function. Use the steps below to help you determine which ME-
ARC (Revision 3.0) menus/features are compatible with your inverter.
1. Go
to: http://www.magnumenergy.com/Service/Compatibility.htm to
determine your inverter’s compatibility level (L1, L2, L3 or L4).
2. Use Table 3-1 to determine which ME-ARC ‘features/settings’ you want
to use and what inverter compatibility level is required (see the “Model/
Level Required” column in Table 3-1).
3. If your inverter compatibility level is the same or greater than the level
required, your inverter can support the device setting/feature you want.
4. If your inverter does not have the required compatibility level for a fea-
ture/setting you want, contact Magnum Energy for a software upgrade.
Info: This compatibility matrix is available online to download/
print as a single page document and to enter user settings.
