2.0 Installation
Before installing the remote, read the entire installation section to determine
how you are going to install your ME-RC. The more thorough you plan in the
beginning, the better your inverter needs will be met.
Info: Installations should be performed by qualified personnel, such
as a licensed or certified electrician. It is the installer's responsibility
to determine which safety codes apply and to ensure that all appli-
cable installation requirements are followed. Applicable installation
codes vary depending on the specific location and application.
Info: Review the "Important Product Safety Information" on the
front inside cover page before any installation.

2. Installation Guidelines

• Before connecting any wires, determine the remote cable route throughout
the home or vehicle/boat both to and from the inverter.
• Always check for existing electrical, plumbing or other areas of potential
damage BEFORE drilling or cutting into walls to mount the remote.
• Make sure all wires have a smooth bend radius and do not become
kinked.
• If installing this remote in an boat, RV or truck; ensure the conductors
passing through walls, bulkheads or other structural members are protected
to minimize insulation damage such as chafing, which can be caused by vi-
bration or constant rubbing.

2.2 Tools Required

Installing the remote control is a simple process and requires the following
tools:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Cut-out tool (knife/saw)

2.3 Installation Procedure

1. Select an appropriate location to install the remote control. Allow ample
room to access the remote's adjustment dial and to view the LEDs. Ensure
the viewing angle of the display is appropriate.
2. Refer to figure 2-1 for hole and cutout dimensions.
3. Run the remote cable between the remote and the inverter/charger. This
cable is a 4-wire, twisted-pair, telephony standard with RJ11 connectors on
each end. A standard telephone cable may be substituted if the provided
remote cable is not able to be used.
4. Connect the remote cable into the RJ11 "Remote" port (has blue label) on
the inverter/charger (see figure 2-2).
5. Have the inverter connected to batteries, but ensure the inverter is off and
that no AC power is connected to the inverter.
