Installation

2.0 Installation

Info: Installations should be performed by qualifi ed personnel, such as a licensed
or certifi ed electrician. It is the installer's responsibility to determine which safety
codes apply and to ensure that all applicable installation requirements are followed.
Applicable installation codes vary depending on the specifi c location and application of
the installation.
CAUTION: Review the "Important Product Safety Information" on pages ii-v before any
installation.
CAUTION: The inverter is heavy. Use proper lifting techniques during installation to
prevent personal injury.
The simplifi ed system diagrams shown in Figures 2-1 & 2-2 should be reviewed to assist you in
planning and designing your installation. These drawings are not intended to override or restrict any
national or local electrical codes. The drawings should not be the determining factor as to whether
the installation is compliant, that is the responsibility of the electrician and the on-site inspector.
2.1

Pre-Installation

Before proceeding, read the entire Installation section to determine how best to install your MS
inverter/charger. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the better your inverter needs
will be met.
2.1.1

Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove the MS Series inverter/charger from its shipping container and inspect all contents.
Verify the following items are included:
• The MS Series inverter/charger
• AC access cover with Phillips screws
• Red and black DC terminal covers with Phillips screws
• Two 5/16" Kep or Flange nuts (installed on the DC terminals)
• Battery Temperature Sensor
• Warning label
• MS Series Owner's Manual
If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum product dealer or
Sensata. If at all possible, keep your shipping box to help protect your inverter from damage if it
ever needs to be returned for service. Save your proof-of-purchase as a record of your ownership;
it will also be needed if the unit should require in-warranty service.
Record the unit's model and serial number in the front of this manual in case you need to provide
this information in the future. It is much easier to record this information now, instead of trying
to gather it after the unit has been installed.
