1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MS-PAE Series inverter/charger from Magnum Energy.
The MS-PAE Series is a “pure” sine wave inverter designed 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-PAE 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.
When the power requirements of the system are beyond the capacity of a single MS-PAE Series
inverter or the system is expanded as more loads are added, up to four MS-PAE Series inverters
can be connected together in a parallel con
fi
guration. Connecting inverters in parallel increases the
overall inverter power and surge capacity to power a large single load or several smaller loads.
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 batter-
ies, and then switch on the power. Using optional remote controls (ME-RTR. ME-ARC or ME-RC),
you can easily operate and monitor your inverter from a remote location.
The MS-PAE Series Inverter/Charger includes the following:
• High wattage output in a small footprint - less weight and area needed for install.
• Ability to parallel up to four identical MS-PAE inverters to increase output power capability
(requires ME-RTR).
Pure sine wave output (<5% THD).
• 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 quali
fi
ed personnel - tested repair kits available.
• Smooth, aesthetically pleasing design.
• MS4024PAE and MS4448PAE are 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-PAE Series products:
ME-RTR
(Router Control Panel) - uses a four-line LCD display to provide operating infor-
mation and setup/troubleshooting capabilities for multiple Magnum inverters. Provides four
ports that allow MS-PAE models to be connected in a parallel con
fi
guration to increase output
power capacity.
ME-ARC
(Advanced Remote Control Panel) - uses a two-line LCD display to allow advance
inverter setup, control and troubleshooting.
ME-RC
(Standard Remote Control Panel) - uses two-line LCD display to allow standard
inverter setup, control and troubleshooting.
ME-AGS-N
(Automatic Generator Start Module/Network version) - 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.
