1.0 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the MM-R and/or MM-RC 

remote controls from Magnum Energy, Inc. These remotes are de-

signed to be simple to install and use, and enable easy control and 

quick indication of the inverter’s (and charger’s) status.

Remotes Available

The MM-R and the MM-RC are the two remote controls available for 

use with the MM/MM-AE Series inverter. The appropriate remote to 

use depends on whether your inverter includes the battery charger 

feature. For the MM Series inverter that does not have the battery 

charger, the 

MM-R

 is the recommended remote; for MM/MM-AE 

Series inverters that do have the battery charger, the 

MM-RC

 is 

recommended.
The MM-R and MM-RC remotes offer the following features: 

MM-R

 - Provides three LED indicators for inverter status, and 

includes a remote ON/OFF switch. The unit comes with 25’ cable. 

This remote is for the MM612 model (requires serial number L1-

201 or higher).

MM-RC

 - Provides six LED indicators for inverter and charger sta-

tus, and includes a remote ON/OFF switch. The unit comes with 25’ 

cable. This remote is for the MM1212, MM612AE, MM1512AE, and 

MM1524AE models.
