1.0 Introduction 1.0 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase! The MM Series remote control from Magnum Energy, Inc. is designed to be simple to install and use, allow easy control and quick indication of the inverter’s (and charger) status. Remotes Available The MM-R and the MM-RC are the two MM remote controls available to use with the MM Series inverter. The appropriate remote to use depends on whether your inverter includes the battery charger feature.
2.0 Installation 2.0 Installation Before installing the inverter, read the entire installation section to determine how you are going to install your remote control. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the better your inverter needs will be met. Pre-installation • Carefully remove the MM Series remote from its shipping container and inspect all contents.
2.0 Installation Mounting The remote control panel can be flush mounted thru an opening in a wall; or if there is insufficient room behind the wall or no desire to cut into the wall, the remote can be surface mounted. Caution: Always check for hidden electrical wires, pipes and cables BEFORE drilling or cutting or screwing into walls or cabinets. Flush Mounting To flush mount the remote, the remote display panel will need to be placed into an opening.
2.0 Installation Surface Mounting The remote control can be mounted on the surface of a wall by using the mounting ring. Note: The mounting ring has a tabs at the top and bottom that are made with a thinner material. This allows these tabs to be cut or broken out to allow the communication cable to be routed up or down the wall. 1. Using the mounting ring as a template, mark on the wall the location of the four mounting screws. 2.

3.0 Operation 3.0 Operation Start-up After Installing and connecting the MM Series remote control, the remote should be tested to ensure it is functional. 1. Press the ON/OFF push-button located on the display panel. Note: The ON/OFF control switch is a push-button switch which functions by momentary pressing and releasing. 2. After pressing the ON/OFF switch, verify the INVERT indicator (green LED) is on (solid or blinking) and the status indicator on the MM Series inverter is also on. 3.
3.0 Operation Operation The MM Series remote controls have an ON/OFF switch that performs the same function as the ON/OFF switch on the front of the MM Series inverter. This remote control also has LED indicators to show the current operating mode of the inverter and charger (MM-RC only) and to help troubleshoot you system if you have a fault.
3.0 Operation Monitoring the LED Indicators The remote front panel uses LED indicators to show the status of the inverter system. These LED indicators automatically switch between the inverter or charger mode (MM-RC only) as the operation of the inverter system changes.
3.0 Operation FAULT (red) - Under normal operating conditions, the FAULT indicator will be off. If there is a fault condition, this indicator will blink differently for each specific fault to help troubleshoot the inverter. Monitor this indicator for at least 10 seconds and count the number of blinks that occur every four seconds to determine the particular reason for the shutdown. Once you have determined and cleared the fault the inverter can be turned on.
3.0 Operation MM-RC Remote Only The MM-RC provides three additional charging LED indicators to provide information on the operation of the battery charger. Monitor these indicators for at least 10 seconds to determine the charger status. BULK (yellow) • On (solid) - Bulk Charging; the charger is delivering maximum current to the batteries. The charger will remain in Bulk charge until 14.6 VDC* is achieved (determined by the Battery Type selection**).
