3.0 Setup
When a router is connected to a Magnum inverter/charger, the settings in the
router determine the inverter/charger’s operating parameters. The router’s
default settings are adequate for most installations; however, you have the
option to change some of the operating parameters. This section shows you
how to navigate the router and gives you an understanding of the function of
each adjustable setting. See Figures 4-1
thru 4-9
for complete maps of the
router’s menu items and adjustable settings.
3.1 Navigating the Router
Familiarize yourself with the controls on the front panel which are used to
fi
nd,
adjust, and save the desired settings (refer to Figure 1-1). They are:
•
LCD Display
-
The 4-line LCD display shows status and info for the inverter/
charger and any attached accessories. All setup menus and faults also appear
on the LCD display.
Info:
The LCD display returns to the System Home screen to show
system status after 5 minutes if no buttons have been pressed.
Info:
When the
“
←
”
(left facing arrow) symbol is shown on the
screen it indicates that the displayed setting has been selected
and will be used.
•
Menu
Pushbuttons (x5)
-
These buttons allow simple access to menu
items that can help with con
fi
guring, monitoring, and troubleshooting your
inverter/charger system.
•
Rotary SELECT Knob
-
This rotary knob allows you to quickly scroll through
and select various menu items and settings. Pressing the knob selects the
menu item to change, or saves the current selection. Refresh the LCD display
by holding the rotary knob down for seven seconds.
Info:
The LCD screen features a 4-line display. If there are
more choices than will
fi
t on the screen, up and down arrows
are present to guide you in accessing those choices. An
up arrow
indicates you must rotate the SELECT knob counterclockwise to
display the next line. A
down arrow
requires a clockwise rotation.
If both an
up and down arrow
display, rotate the SELECT knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to display all hidden lines.
*** IMPORTANT ***
All settings/setup menus in the router are compatible with MS-PAE Series
inverter/chargers. If you are using the router with another inverter/charger
(other than the MS-PAE Series), some features and setup menus may not
be compatible with your inverter and will not function. Contact Magnum
Energy to determine if a particular feature/setup menu provided in the
router is compatible with your inverter.
