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 inverter is removed).
Info: This manual is for the ME-ARC with revision 3.0 or higher;
see the TECH: 02 Revisions section on page 39 for information on
how to determine your revision level.
The ME-ARC is equipped with the following features:
•
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.
• Rotary SELECT Knob – The rotary encoder knob is similar to a car dash
radio knob and is used to quickly scroll through and select various menu
items and settings. Pushing the rotary knob allows you to select a menu
item, or to save a setting once it is displayed on the LCD.
