Installation
2.0 Installation
Before proceeding, read the entire installation section to determine how you are going to install
your MS-PAE inverter/charger. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the better your
inverter needs will be met.
Info:
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 ii-v before
proceeding with the installation.
CAUTION:
The inverter is heavy (55 lb/24.9 kg). Use proper lifting techniques during
installation to prevent personal injury.
The simpli
fi
ed system diagrams shown in this manual are provided to assist you in planning and
designing your installation. They are not intended to override or restrict any national or local
electrical codes. These diagrams 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.
Info:
If you are installing multiple MS-PAE inverters in a parallel con
fi
guration, follow the
information in this section and refer also to Section 4.0 for speci
fi
c parallel instructions.
2.1 Pre-Installation
2.1.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the MS-PAE Series inverter/charger from its shipping container and inspect all
contents. Verify the following items are included:
• The MS-PAE 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 with 15-foot cable
• Warning
label
• MS-PAE Series Owner’s Manual
If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum product dealer or
Sensata. If at all possible, keep your shipping box. It will 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.
