Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The ME-BMK is a single battery bank amp-hour meter
that monitors and pro-
vides important information about the condition of the battery. This informa-
tion will let you know how much energy you have available and let you plan
your electrical usage to ensure the battery is not being over-discharged.
The ME-BMK is easy to install and is designed to be networked with a Magnum
Energy inverter/charger using the ME-RC remote to display the information
about your battery bank.

1.2 Identifi cation and Compatibility
The ME-BMK is compatible with all Magnum inverter/chargers provided with
a ‘Magnum Net’ or ‘Network’ port (i.e. ME, MS and RD Series). The ME-BMK
requires a ME-RC remote display with revision 2.0 or higher to access the
available settings and features of the ME-BMK.
Info:
You can view the ME-RC revision level when you
fi
rst power-
up the remote or by pushing the TECH button and accessing the
02
Revisions
menu.
If the ME-RC remote revision is not 2.0 or higher, refer to one of the two op-
tions below to obtain the required revision.
1) If the ME-BMK is being installed at the same time as a newly purchased
Magnum Inverter and ME-RC remote system; contact your Magnum Energy
dealer to obtain the ME-RC with revision 2.0 or higher.
2) If the ME-BMK is being installed into an installation with a previously installed
Magnum inverter and ME-RC remote system; contact Magnum Energy about
ME-RC upgrade options.
