VAC Dropout Menu

• VAC DROP – This selection is used to set the minimum AC voltage that
must be present on the input before the inverter/charger switches from
Invert to Charge mode. For example, if this setting is set to VAC DROP
= 60 VAC, then the AC input voltage must be above 60 volts before the
inverter will switch from Invert mode to Charge mode. This setting also
determines the minimum AC voltage threshold where the inverter/char-
ger transfers from the AC input (utility/shore or generator) and begins
inverting. This protects AC loads from utility outages.
Default setting: VAC DROP = 80 VAC for North American units; 150
VAC for export models.
Range: 60 VAC, 80 VAC, and 100 VAC for 120v units (North America);
and 110 VAC, 150 VAC, and 190 VAC for 230v units (for export)
Where to set: It depends on the application and what you are using as the
AC source. The settings not only look at the incoming voltage to determine
when to transfer, but they also determine the response sensitivity to incoming
voltage fl uctuations. Use the 100 VAC dropout setting when the AC source
is well regulated and you are operating devices that are sensitive to voltage
fl uctuations. Use the 80 VAC or lower setting (60 VAC) when the AC source
may have signifi cant fl uctuations in RMS voltage. These settings are highly
recommended if using a generator for charging.
Note: If the ME-MR is connected to a MSH-RE inverter, the VAC Dropout
setting applies to both inputs (AC1 and AC2).

Power Save Menu

• PWR SAVE – This setting allows you to turn the Power Save feature
on or off.
Default setting: PWR SAVE = On
Range: On, Off
What is the Power Saver feature? The Power Saver feature causes the
LCD backlight and LEDs on the remote display to turn off to conserve energy.
The remote goes into Power Saver mode if there has not been a button press
or fault message for 15 minutes. Whenever the remote goes into the Power
Saver mode, the LCD backlight and LEDs can be reactivated by pressing any
button on the remote.
