2.0 Installation
Before installing the inverter, read the entire installation section to determine how you are going
to install your MS-AE inverter/Charger. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the better
your inverter needs will be met.
Info: Installations should be performed by qualifi ed personnel, such as a licensed or cer-
tifi ed electrician. It is the installer’s responsibility to determine which safety codes apply
and to ensure that all applicable installation requirements are followed. Applicable instal-
lation codes vary depending on the specifi c location and application of the installation.
CAUTION: Review the “Important Product Safety Information” on page ii and the “Impor-
tant Battery Safety Instructions” on page iii before any installation.
The simplifi ed system diagram shown in Figure 2-1 should be reviewed to assist you in planning
and designing your installation. This drawing is not intended to over-ride or restrict any national
or local electrical codes. This drawing should not be the determining factor as to whether the
installation is compliant, that is the responsibility of the electrician and the on-site inspector.
CAUTION: The inverter is heavy. Use proper lifting techniques during installation to pre-
vent personal injury.
2.1 Pre-Installation
2.1.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the MS-AE Series inverter from its shipping container and inspect all contents.
Verify the following items are included:
− The MS-AE Inverter/Charger
− Red and black DC terminal covers with Phillips screws
− AC access cover with two Phillips screws
− Two 5/16” Kep nuts (installed on the DC terminals).
− Battery Temperature Sensor with 15 foot cable
− Warning
Label
− MS-AE Series Owner’s Manual.
If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum Energy dealer or
Magnum Energy.
If at all possible, keep your shipping box. It will help protect your inverter from damage if it ever
needs to be returned for service.
Save your proof-of-purchase as a record of your ownership; it will also be needed if the unit should
require in-warranty service.
Record the unit’s model and serial number in the front of this manual in case you need to provide
this information in the future. It is much easier to record this information now, instead of trying
to gather it after the unit has been installed.
