Operation

3.8 Using the RV-C Connector

Magnum inverters and accessories normally communicate using proprietary MagNet serial data thru

the NETWORK port. On the MSH3012RV inverter, this MagNet data is converted internally to RV-C

compliant protocol and provided through the RV-C connector. This allows the RV-C connector to

be connected to a RV-C network in your coach, so that you can monitor and control this inverter

and its connected accessories with your coach’s RV-C compliant display.

Note:

The MSH3012RV inverter can only

receive settings and commands

from one device (i.e.,

RV-C device or Magnum remote) at a time.

3.8.1 LED

Indicator

Use the RV-C’s LED indicator—located just above the RV-C connector port (see Figure 3-12)—to

determine the status of the RV-C port. When power is

rst applied to the inverter, the RV-C status

indicator (yellow LED) comes on for 2 seconds, then goes off.
When the RV-C connector port is connected to an active RV-C network bus/backbone, the inverter’s

RV-C port becomes active. When the RV-C port is active, the RV-C status indicator will blink. Use

Table 3-3 below and the RV-C port indicator to determine the RV-C port’s operation.

Note: The RV-C status LED will only come on/blink if the MSH3012RV is connected to an active

RV-C network.

Table 3-3, Operating Status For RV-C Port

LED

Operating Status

Blinks*

When the RV-C status indicator continuously blinks and pauses, the RV-C port

is active and able to communicate on the RV-C network.

OFF

The RV-C port is not active and is not detecting data or power from the RV-C

network.

The RV-C status indicator (yellow LED) will rapidly blink and pause continuously as described

below to indicate which address it has been assigned:

1 blink, then

a pause*

Normal operation and the inverter has been assigned with address #1 on the

RV-C network bus

2 blinks, then

a pause*

Normal operation and the inverter has been assigned with address #2 on the

RV-C network bus

Note*: LED (yellow) blink = Rapidly blinks on and off (0.2 seconds on and 0.2 seconds off); pause =

1 second off.
