The NEC/CEC requires the insulation of all conductors inside the MMP enclosure to be rated for
the highest voltage present. The MMP enclosure is designed to work with 120/240 VAC inverters,
therefore, the voltage rating of the communications cables inside the MMP enclosure must be rated
for 300 volts or higher to be code compliant.
With the purchase of the MMP enclosure, Magnum has included three six-foot, yellow communication
cables with 300-volt rated insulation. These cables—shown below—are provided to make connections
between Magnum inverters and accessories easier and code compliant.
Info: These cables carry less than 30 volts and are thus considered a “limited energy
circuit”, which is normally not required to be installed in conduit.
Figure 2-22 shows the ‘REMOTE’ cable. It
allows a remote control—such as the ME-
RC (Remote Control) or ME-ARC (Advance
Remote Control)—to be connected to the
MMP enclosure. This cable is a 6’ (1.83m),
4-conductor, telephone-type cable with a RJ14
(m) connector and a blue REMOTE label on
each end. One end of this cable is connected
to the remote, and the other end is routed
inside the MMP enclosure and then connected
to the inverter’s REMOTE port as shown in
Figure 2-25.

Figure 2-23 shows the ‘NETWORK’ cable.
It allows Magnum accessories—like the
ME-AGS (Auto Generator Start) or ME-BMK
(Battery Monitor)—to be connected to the
MMP enclosure. This cable is a 6’ (1.83m),
2-conductor, telephone-type with a RJ14 (m)
connector and a green NETWORK label on
each end. One end of this cable is connected
to the accessory, and the other end is routed
inside the MMP enclosure and then connected
to the inverter’s NETWORK port as shown in
Figure 2-25.

Figure 2-24 shows the ‘EXTENSION’ cable.
It allows the Magnum ME-BTS (Battery
Temperature Sensor) to be connected to
the MMP enclosure. This is a 6’ (1.83 m),
4-conductor, telephone-type cable with a RJ14
(m) connector on one end and a RJ14 (f) plug
on the opposite end. The female plug end
connects to the ME-BTS (Battery Temperature
Sensor). After connecting to the ME-BTS,
this extension cable is routed inside the MMP
enclosure and connects to the inverter’s BTS
port as shown in Figure 2-25.
