Appendix A – Optional Equipment & Accessories
The following components are available for use with the MMSA1012
inverter/charger. Some of these items are required depending upon
the intended use of the inverter.
Smart Battery Combiner
The Smart Battery Combiner (ME-SBC
TM
) is designed to monitor
and charge a second battery using a portion of the current that
is charging the main battery. The ME-SBC eliminates a signi
fi
cant
voltage drop, and provides automatic turn-on and turn-off based on
adjustable voltage set-points. This allows different batteries to be
charged from a single charging source, and prevents overcharging/
undercharging.
Auto Generator Start Controller
The ME-AGS-N Automatic Generator Start controller (Network
version) is designed to automatically start your generator based
on low battery condition or high temperature. It works
with 12, 24,
and 48-volt battery banks and includes a 4-position DIP (Dual In-
line Package) switch which provides the ability to change the relay
timing con
fi
gurations to allow compatibility with most generators.
Battery Monitor Kit
The ME-BMK Battery Monitor Kit is a single battery bank amp-
hour meter
that monitors the condition of the battery and provides
information to let you know how much energy you have available
and to plan your electrical usage to ensure the battery is not being
over-discharged. The ME-BMK-NS version does not include
a DC
shunt—order the ME-BMK to receive a 500A/50mv DC shunt.
Fuse Block/Fuses
The fuse/fuse-blocks are used to protect the battery bank, inverter,
and cables from damage caused by DC short circuits and overloads.
They include a slow-blow fuse with mounting block and protective
cover. The 125 and 200-amp models use an ANL type fuse and the
300 and 400-amp models use a Class-T fuse.
