Setup: 03 Charger Setup - Magnum Energy ME-ARC Series Owner's Manual

3.0 Setup
• 02F Power Up Always – Allows the inverter to power up and provide
AC power automatically once DC voltage is connected to the inverter.
Default setting: OFF
Range: OFF, ON
What is the Power Up Always feature? Normally, when DC power is con-
nected to the inverter, the user is required to press the power button—on the
inverter or remote—to turn the inverter on. When the Power Up Always feature
is activated by selecting "ON", the inverter is automatically turned on and
starts searching or inverting—depending on the SETUP:02 Invert Setup/02A
Search Watts setting. Once the inverter has connected to DC power and is
automatically turned on, the power button—on the inverter or remote—can
be used to turn the inverter on or off.
Why use the Power Up Always feature? Some customers are familiar with
Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) that power-up automatically when DC
power is connected. The Power Up Always feature can be used by customers
that want to obtain the same automatic power-up feature with which they
are familiar.

SETUP: 03 Charger Setup

• 03A AC Input Amps – This selection ensures that the combined current
draw from the charger and the AC loads does not exceed the maximum
input current that is available from the incoming AC power. Whenever the
utility or generator is connected to the inverter's input, the current used
to power the AC loads and to charge the batteries is monitored. When the
total current used to power the AC loads and charge the batteries begins
to approach the AC Input Amps setting, the current used for charging the
batteries is automatically reduced. This ensures the AC loads have all the
available current from the incoming AC power when needed.
Setting for all models except MSH4024RE:
Set AC Input Amps – This setting determines the level in AC amps
at which the inverter/charger begins to back off the battery charger to
reduce the load on the incoming utility/generator power and continue
powering the inverter loads.
Default setting: 30 Amps
Ranges: 5-60 Amps
Settings for MSH4024RE:
Info: The MSH4024RE inverter/charger has two independent AC
source inputs (AC1/GRID, AC2/GEN) with independent AC input
amps settings for each. The Set AC1 Input Amps and Set AC2 Input
Amps menus only display if the remote is connected to a dual input
source inverter/charger.
Set AC1 Input Amps – This setting determines the level in AC amps
at which the MSH4024RE inverter/charger begins to back off the battery
charger to reduce the load on the incoming utility/grid power (that is
connected to the AC1 input) and continue powering the inverter loads.
This setting also determines when the MSH4024RE inverter/charger
