Installation
2.0 Installation
WARNING:
Installations should be performed by quali
fi
ed personnel, such as a licensed
or certi
fi
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 installation codes vary depending on the speci
fi
c location and application of
the installation.
CAUTION:
Review the “Important Product Safety Information” on pages iii-vi before
any installation.
CAUTION:
The inverter is heavy. Use proper lifting techniques during installation to
prevent personal injury.
The simpli
fi
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 override or to 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.
2.1 Pre-Installation
Before proceeding, read the entire Installation section to determine how best to install your MSH-M
inverter/charger. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the better your inverter needs
will be met.
2.1.1
Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the MSH-M Series inverter/charger from its shipping container and inspect all
contents. Verify the following items are included:
• The MSH-M inverter/charger
• Red and black DC terminal covers with Phillips screws
• AC access cover with two Phillips screws
• Two 5/16” Kep or Flange nuts (installed on the DC terminals)
• Battery Temperature Sensor
• Warning
label
• MSH-M 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 to 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.
