10.0 Using the ME-RTR Router
SETUP: 04B Gen Run Time Menu
This menu starts and stops the generator based on a specifi c time of day.
This feature uses the ME-RTR’s internal clock to start and stop the generator
at the selected times.
Info: Ensure the remote’s clock is correct. If needed, refer to the
ME-RTR owner’s manual for guidance on setting the time on the
remote clock.
Info: The ME-RTR clock is powered from the inverter thru the remote
cable. If the ME-RTR or inverter loses power, the clock will lose the
correct time and must be reset.
• Set Gen Run Time – This setting allows set times to be established to
turn the generator on and off each day. Select On to set specifi c times
of day to start and stop the generator.
Default setting: Set Gen Run Time = OFF
• Set Start Gen Hour – Set the hour the gen will start each day.
• Set Start Gen Minute – Set the minute the gen will start each day.
• Set Start Gen AM-PM – Set the time period the gen will start.
• Set Stop Gen Hour – Set the hour the gen will stop each day.
• Set Stop Gen Minute – Set the minute the gen will stop each day.
• Set Stop Gen AM-PM – Set the time period the gen will stop.
Why should I set a specifi c time of day to start/stop the generator?
Starting and stopping at a particular time of day can be useful if you want
to run the generator for other uses while charging the batteries. You may
require the generator to run a heavy load (like a well pump or machinery)
every day at the same time. You may also want the generator to run after
you leave for work each day to avoid having to hear it running.
SETUP: 04C Gen Run Amps Menu
This menu starts the generator based on the amount of AC amps needed to
handle the load the inverter is running. The METER button’s 02C Load Amps
menu is used to determine how much load the inverter is currently running
when in Inverter mode.
Info: The 04C Gen Run Amps menu is only applicable to Magnum’s
MS-PAE and MS-PE Series inverters.
Why should I use Gen Run Amps? This setting is useful when there is
occasionally a large load or combinations of loads that the inverter is able to
run, but by doing so would quickly deplete the battery bank. Typically, these
large loads might be motors, well pumps, A/C units, or freezers.
•
Set Start Gen AC Amps – This setting determines when the generator
would start depending on the AC amps level of the load the inverter is
running. The load’s amps level must be continuously maintained above
the Start Gen AC Amps setting for the duration of the Start Amps Delay
setting in order for the generator to autostart.
Default setting: Set Start Gen AC Amps = OFF
Range: OFF, 5 - 60 Amps
