2.0 Installation

CAUTION: When connecting battery power to the inverter, all

battery negative connections must be connected prior to the

battery positive connections. When removing battery power

from the inverter, the battery positive should be removed

before any battery negative connections are disconnected. This

is done to prevent any communication chips/lines from becom-

ing the DC return path to the battery – causing permanent

damage to all connected accessories on the network.
Summation: Always ensure all battery negative circuits are

connected before connecting or disconnecting battery positive.

2.2.1 Connecting the MagWeb Device to a Single Inverter

Use the supplied four-conductor communications cable to connect the

MagWeb device’s “TO INVERTER” port to the Magnum inverter’s “Remote”

port.

2.2.2 Connecting the MagWeb Device to a Single Inverter

and Remote Control

The MagWeb device, using the supplied cable, can be located near the remote

or near the inverter. To mount the MagWeb device near the inverter, route

the 6ft four-conductor remote cable from the inverter’s Remote port to the

MagWeb device’s TO INVERTER port. Use the longer 50ft cable — supplied

with the remote control — to route the MagWeb device’s TO REMOTE port to

the remote control. To mount the MagWeb device near the remote, swap the

6ft remote cable with the 50ft remote cable.

2.2.3 Connecting the MagWeb Device’s Antenna

Attach one of the supplied rubber duck antennas to the antenna port on top

of the MagWeb device. Tighten fi nger tight. In high vibration environments a

small amount of low strength thread locking compound may be used.

2.3 Setting Up the Wireless Gateway

Place the wireless gateway in a location that is dry and away from extreme

temperatures. Allow room to view the LEDs on both ends and to affi x the

Ethernet cable without any kinks or sharp bends. Unless the MagWeb device

will be located in the same room, you must keep the wireless gateway anten-

na outside of a metallic enclosure or compartment. For best range, the wire-

less gateway and antenna should be mounted clear of obstructions and as

high as possible.

CAUTION: Do not mount the wireless gateway in a closed

battery compartment, or in an area where water or any other

liquid can enter the device and cause shorting or corrosion.

This failure is not covered by the warranty.

2.3.1 Connecting the Wireless Gateway’s Antenna

Attach the remaining rubber duck antenna to the antenna port on the wire-

less gateway, and then tighten fi nger tight. In high vibration environments a

small amount of low strength thread lock may be used.
