3.11 Final Installation Tidbits: 

Wiring the Inverter Remote Control 

Refer to figure 13 for the following steps:

 

1. Connect one of the RJ11 connector ends of the remote communication cable to the back of the 

remote; refer to the ME-RC owner’s Manual for specific information.

 

 

2. Route the other RJ11 connector end through the E-Panel and E-Panel door and connect to the 

inverter’s RJ11 REMOTE PORT (blue label).

 

 

Additional Accessory Wiring

 

 

Before  attaching  the  DC  cover  to  the  inverter  end,  if  you  have  any  of  the  following  inverter 

accessories, then you will also need to route their connecting cables through the E-Panel (and 

pass through the small snap-in grommet in the door) to the RJ11 Ports on the inverter:

 

 

• Automatic Generator Start Controller (ME-AGS) for automatic generator starting an stopping.

 

 

• Battery Monitor (ME-BMK-NS) for determining your batteries State of Charge.

 

 

• Simple ON/OFF adapters (ME-RSA, ME-RSA-M) that allow the inverter to be remotely turned 

on/off.

 

 

See the appropriate accessory  owner’s guide or further information  about the installation and 

configuration of these accessories.

 

 

Installing Inverter Shield/Covers

 

 

Refer to figure 1 to identify the following components

:

 

 

Upper Shield - Attach the upper shield to the E-Panel door using three 10-32 x 3/8” machine 

screws and kepnuts.

 

 

DC Cover - Attach the DC cover using four 10-32 x 7/16” taptite screws and at least one #10 

internal tooth star washers.
