two RJ11 ports, and to connect the antenna. Unless the wireless gateway will

be located in the same room, you must keep the MagWeb device’s antenna

outside of a metallic enclosure or compartment.

CAUTION: Before beginning the installation, ensure all AC

power is disconnected from the inverter, and all battery supply

cables are disconnected from the battery bank or switched

off with an appropriately rated circuit breaker. There should

be no fl ashing or lit LEDs on the Magnum inverter or on any

accessories.
