Page 10: Introduction
Introduction Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the MS-PAE Series inverter/charger from Sensata. The MS- PAE Series is a “pure” sine wave, standalone, non-grid interactive inverter designed to provide 120 and 240 VAC in a single unit to power loads when inverting/charging. It has two 120 VAC lines (L1 and L2), a neutral and a ground. -

Page 17: Locating The Inverter
Away from sensitive electronic equipment – High powered inverters can generate levels of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Locate any electronic equipment susceptible to radio frequency and electromagnetic interference as far away from the inverter as possible. Page 8 © 2017 Sensata Technologies... -
Page 18: Mounting The Inverter
Info: Sensata provides a back plate with a suitable surface for mounting the inverter. These back plates also provide the ability to mount either the MMP Series enclosure (PN: BP-MMP) or the MP Series Enclosure (PN: BP-S, Single Plate or BP-D, Dual Plate). -

Page 20: Wiring The Inverter
This is normally done by feeding the wires through conduit. Sensata provides a conduit box (ME-CB or MPX-CB), a single inverter enclosure (MMP Series), and a multiple inverter enclosure (MP Series) that include knockouts to conveniently accommodate AC/DC wiring enclosed and protected by conduit. -
Page 21: Dc Wiring
DC terminals can cause the bolts to strip and snap/break off. • A brief spark or arc may occur when connecting live battery cables to the inverter’s DC terminals; this is normal and due to the inverter’s internal capacitors being charged. Page 12 © 2017 Sensata Technologies... -

Page 48: Parallel Operation
Overview A single MS-PAE inverter produces 120/240 VAC at its rated power (i.e., MS4024PAE provides 4000 watts of inverter power). When multiple MS-PAE inverters are stacked together in parallel (using the required ME-RTR router), the inverters work together as a single inverter/charger system. -
