1.0 Introduction
The ME-RC 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-RC50 comes standard with a 50-foot, 4-conductor (twisted-pair)
telephone cable and includes nonvolatile memory (preserves adjustable
settings, even if power to the remote or inverter is removed).
Info: This manual is for the ME-RC with revision 2.8 or higher; see
the TECH: 02 Revisions display on page 30 for information on how
to determine your revision level.
The ME-RC 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 Buttons (x2) – The ON/OFF buttons allow the inverter or
charger to be independently and quickly enabled or disabled.
• Menu Buttons (x5) – The menu buttons 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 this rotary knob allows you to select a
menu item, or to save a setting once it is displayed on the LCD.
