1.0 Introduction 1.0 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the MM-R and/or MM-RC remote controls from Magnum Energy, Inc. These remotes are designed to be simple to install and use, and enable easy control and quick indication of the inverter’s (and charger’s) status. Remotes Available The MM-R and the MM-RC are the two remote controls available for use with the MM/MM-AE 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, 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-R or MM-RC remote from its shipping container and inspect all contents.
2.0 Installation Mounting The remote control panel can be flush mounted through 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, cutting, or screwing into walls or cabinets. Flush Mounting To flush mount the remote, the unit’s 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. Info: The mounting ring has tabs at the top and bottom that are made with a thinner material. This enables the 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-R/MM-RC remote controls, the remote should be tested to ensure it is functional. 1. Press the ON/OFF push button located on the display panel. Info: 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 inverter is also on. 3.
3.0 Operation Operation The MM-R/MM-RC remote controls have an ON/OFF switch that performs the same function as the ON/OFF power switch on the front of the inverter. This remote control also has LED indicators to show the current operating mode of the inverter and charger (MMRC only), and to help troubleshoot your system should a fault occur.
3.0 Operation Monitoring the LED Indicators The remote’s 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 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 (per Battery Type selection**). • Blinks On (1 time every 4 seconds) – Charger Back-off; charger current is reduced. This occurs if: 1. The internal temperature is very hot (charger reduces charge rate to maintain temperature) or, 2.
