Connecting the Remote Cable

The ME-ARC comes with a remote cable to enable communication between the inverter and the
remote. The cable is a 50-foot, 4-conductor, round twisted-pair, telephony standard with 6P4C
(6-position/4-conductor) connectors on each end. When the 6P4C connectors are held side by
side with both of the connector tabs facing the same way, the color of the conductors in each
connector is the opposite from top to bottom (as shown in Figure 2-1).
Info: This cable has twisted-pair cabling which is a common form of wiring in which
two conductors are wound around each other for the purposes of canceling out
electromagnetic interference (known as "crosstalk").
Note: The remote cable can be extended up to a length of 200 feet without data degradation.

Connecting the ME-ARC to a Magnum Inverter

One end of the remote cable plugs into the back side of the ME-ARC, and the other plugs into the
REMOTE (blue) port on the Magnum inverter/charger (see Figure 2-2).
Note: Do not connect the remote cable at this time. First, locate and prepare an area to mount
the remote (follow directions in Section 2.4).
