2.0 Installation
Review the Important Safety Instructions on page ii before proceeding with
the installation of your remote.
WARNING: Installations should be performed by qualifi ed per-
sonnel, such as a licensed or certifi ed electrician. The installer
determines which safety codes apply, and ensures all applicable
installation requirements are followed. Applicable installation codes
vary depending on the specifi c location and application.
2.1 Pre-Installation
Before proceeding, read the entire Installation section to determine how best
to install your ME-MR remote. The more thorough you plan in the beginning,
the better your inverter needs will be met.
2.1.1 Installation Guidelines
• Before connecting any wires, determine the remote cable’s route through-
out 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 to minimize insulation damage such as chafi ng, which can be
caused by vibration or constant rubbing.
2.1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the ME-MR remote from its shipping container and inspect
all contents. Verify the following items are included:
•
The ME-MR remote

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

your ownership; it is needed if the unit should require in-warranty service.
