1.0 Overview
The ME-ARC remote control allows you to monitor and customize the operating parameters for
your Magnum inverter/charger. This remote can be used on all Magnum inverter/charger models
so there is no cross-platform confusion.
The ME-ARC50 comes standard with a 50-foot, 4-conductor (twisted-pair) telephone cable and
includes non-volatile memory (preserves adjustable settings, even if power to the remote or in-
verter is removed).
