Introduction

The MM-R remote allows you to turn the inverter on and off (ON/OFF), and

provides three LED indicators for: inverter status (INVERT), status of any

external AC power (AC IN), and to alert you of any faults (FAULT).

The MM-RC remote includes the remote ON/OFF switch and the same three

LED indicators that the MM-R has, as well as three additional LED indicators

for charger status (BULK, ABSORB, FLOAT).

Installation

Before proceeding, read the entire Installation section to determine how best

to install your remote. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the

better your inverter needs will be met.

Installation Guidelines

• Before connecting any wires determine the remote’s 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 a boat, RV, or truck ensure the conductors

passing through walls, bulkheads, or other structural members are

protected. This minimizes insulation damage (such as chaﬁ ng) which can

be caused by vibration or constant rubbing.

Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove the MM-R or MM-RC remote from its shipping container and

inspect all contents. Verify the following items are included:

• MM-R or MM-RC remote display • Bezel

• 25’ Communication cable • Two Phillips screws

• MM-R/MM-RC Instruction Sheet

If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum

dealer or Sensata Technologies. Save your proof-of-purchase as a record of

ownership; it is needed if the unit requires in-warranty service.

MM-R/MM-RC Remotes Instruction Sheet Tools Required Installing the remote control is simple and requires the following tools: • • Phillips screwdriver Cut-out tool (knife/saw) • Level • Pencil • Drill • Drill bit (7/64”) Locating the Remote Find a location to mount the MM-R/MM-RC remote that is clean, dry, and protected. Allow ample room to access the remote’s ON/OFF switch and to view the LEDs—which help to determine operational status and assist with troubleshooting.

MM-R/MM-RC Remotes Instruction Sheet Connecting the Communication Cable The MM-R and MM-RC each come with a cable to enable communication between the inverter and the remote. The communication cable is a flat 25’ telephony standard with 6P4C (6-position, 4-conductor) connectors on each end. When the 6P4C connectors are held as shown in Figure 3 below, the color of the conductors in each connector is the same from top to bottom. Info: The 25’ cable is long enough for most applications.

MM-R/MM-RC Remotes Instruction Sheet Operation This section explains how to use the MM-R/MM-RC remotes when operating an inverter/charger. It provides information on the ON/OFF button and the LED indicators—that are used to show the operational status of the inverter/ charger and to assist you with troubleshooting. MM-R/MM-RC Remotes ON/OFF Power Switch The remote’s ON/OFF power switch is a momentary pushbutton that duplicates the ON/OFF switch on an inverter.

MM-R/MM-RC Remotes Instruction Sheet • Blinking On (once every second) – external AC power is detected on the inverter’s input, but not actively being used. Either: 1) The AC input is being qualified (takes approximately 15 seconds); or, 2) The input AC voltage is low. Ensure the incoming AC voltage is >80 volts (VAC Dropout default). Off – no external AC power is detected on the inverter’s input. • FAULT LED (red) Under normal operating conditions, the remote’s FAULT indicator will be off.

MM-R/MM-RC Remotes Instruction Sheet ABSORB LED (yellow) • On (solid) – Absorb Charging; the charger is in the Constant Voltage stage and begins after the bulk voltage has been reached. The DC charging current will start to taper down to maintain the Bulk voltage setting. The Absorb Charging time is based on the inverter’s default AHr size. • Blinks On (1 time every 4 seconds) – Charger Back-off (while in Absorb mode); the charger current is reduced.
