Introduction
1.2 What Appliances will run from a Modifi ed Sine Wave Inverter
Today's inverters come in two basic output waveforms: modifi ed sine wave (a modifi ed square
wave—see Figure C-1) and pure sine wave. Modifi ed sine wave inverters approximate a pure sine
waveform and will run most appliances and electronics without any problems. These inverters are
less expensive, and therefore, offer a viable alternative to more expensive pure sine inverters.
The output of the ME Series is a modifi ed sine wave which will run most electronic and household
items, including but not limited to: TV, VCR, satellite dish receiver, computers, and printers. Some
devices such as rechargeable power supplies for phones, drills, and other like items may not run,
and could even be at risk for damage from modifi ed sine wave inverters.
1.3 Features and Benefi ts
The ME Series inverter/charger is designed to allow easy access to wiring, circuit breakers, and
controls. Its die cast baseplate with one-piece aluminum cover ensures maximum durability with
minimum weight, as well as cooler, more effi cient operation.
The bottom of the ME Series is equipped with the following features (see Figures 1-1 and 1-2):
Power ON/OFF Switch – a momentary pushbutton switch that alternately turns the inverter
1
on or off.
Status LED Indicator – this green LED illuminates to provide information on the inverter
2
or charger operation.
Stack/Accessories Connection Port (red label) – a RJ11 port that accepts optional
3
accessories. Note: The stacking feature is not available with the ME Series.
Network Connection Port (green label) – a RJ11 port that accepts optional network
4
capable accessories (e.g., Auto Gen Start or Battery Monitor).
Remote Connection Port (blue label) – a RJ11 port that allows an optional remote
5
control to be connected.
Battery Temperature Sensor Connection Port (yellow label) – a RJ11 port that
6
accepts the remote battery temperature sensor (BTS).
