1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MS-AE Series inverter/charger from Magnum Energy.
The MS-AE Series is a “pure” sine wave inverter designed especially for your back-up power or
standalone application. Powerful, yet simple to use, the Magnum Energy inverter will provide you
with years of trouble-free performance.
The MS-AE Series is the ideal inverter/charger as it will be able to provide 120 and 240VAC in a
single unit to power loads when inverting and also while charging. It has two 120VAC lines (L1
and L2), a neutral and a ground. The two 120VAC output lines are 180° out-of-phase with each
other, so that the combination of the L1 and L2 lines total 240VAC and the voltage between either
L1 or L2 and neutral is 120VAC. The MS-AE Series charger can accept 120VAC input (to L1 or L2)
or 120/240 VAC split-phase input power (to L1 and L2), the incoming AC power is shared with
the charger and the output continues to be 120/240VAC with either a 120VAC or a 120/240VAC
input.
Installation is easy. Simply connect the inverter’s output to your distribution circuits or electrical
panel; connect your utility or generator power (AC) to the inverter’s easy-to-reach terminal block;
connect the batteries, and then switch on the power. Using the optional remote control (ME-RC),
you can easily operate and monitor your inverter from a remote location.
The MS-AE Series Inverter /Charger includes the following:
• 4000 or 4400 Watt Models in a small footprint - less weight and area needed for install.
• Pure sine wave output.
• 120/240 VAC Split phase output in a single inverter.
• PFC (Power Factor Corrected) multi-stage battery charger.
• RS485 standard communication protocol.
• Remote and Network ports (easy connection for optional accessories).
• ON/OFF Inverter-mounted switch with LED indicator.
• Large AC access and terminal block [wire size: #18 to #2 AWG (0.82 to 33.6 mm
2 ) CU].
• DC terminal covers with 360 degree connection.
• Battery Temperature Sensor - for optimum charging during extreme temperature changes.
• Field Serviceable for qualifi ed personnel - tested repair kits available.
• Smooth, aesthetically pleasing design.
• ETL listed to UL/cUL STD 1741 and CSA STD 22.2 107.01-01 for safety.
The following accessories are also available for MS-AE Series products:
ME-RC (Remote Control Display) - for inverter confi guration, easy troubleshooting and
maintains adjustment values with nonvolatile memory.
ME-AGS (Automatic Generator Start Module) - automatically starts/stops your generator.
ME-BMK (Battery Monitor Kit) - provides precise DC voltage/current measurements and
provides information on your battery’s State of Charge (SOC) condition.
ME-CB (Conduit Box) - provides 1/2” - 2” knockouts for connecting AC and DC conduit
runs to the inverter.
