Introduction
The ME-RTR is equipped with the following features:
•
Status LEDs (x4) – The at-a-glance LEDs provide the inverter/charger status in a
straightforward way.
•
LCD Display – The LCD display is a 20 x 4 line (80 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 all the connected inverters or chargers
to be quickly enabled or disabled.
Info: The router’s ON/OFF INVERTER and ON/OFF CHARGER buttons function normally
when a ME-ARC is connected through the router in a parallel system.
•

used to quickly scroll through Ports 1-6, or to select various menu items and settings. Pressing
this rotary knob allows you to select a menu item or to save a setting, once it is displayed on
the LCD.

ports.

1.0 Introduction
The ME-RTR (or “router”) has many of the same features as the ME-ARC50 advanced remote control,
with the added functionality required to parallel Magnum MS-PAE or MS-PE inverter/chargers. The
router is designed to easily and quickly connect multiple inverter/chargers in parallel without the
need to program each inverter. The router can accommodate up to: four MS-PAE or MS-PE inverter/
chargers in parallel, two AGS modules, six BMKs, and one remote control.
Info: This manual is for the ME-RTR with version 3.1 or higher; see the TECH: 02 Port
Vers section on page 43 for information on how to determine your version level.
