Where should I set the Shore Max setting?
The
Shore Max
setting needs
to be set to match the current rating of the utility power or the generator’s
circuit breaker that is connected to the inverter. This
controls the input current
differently depending on the inverter/charger mode
l—as described below:
ME, MS, and RD Series: These models connect to a single AC source and
have two inputs (HOT IN 1 and HOT IN 2), but the current is only monitored
on HOT IN 1. On these models—when wired as a dual-in con
fi
guration or as
a single-in con
fi
guration with only the HOT IN 1 connected—the Shore Max
setting should be set to the size of the AC circuit breaker that feeds the HOT
IN 1 input. On these models, when wired as a single-in con
fi
guration with
HOT IN 1 and HOT IN 2 jumped together, set the Shore Max setting to half
(x½) the input breaker size—as half the current passes through HOT IN 1
and the other half through HOT IN 2 simultaneously.
MS-AE and MS-PAE Series: These models connect to a single AC source
and have two inputs (HOT IN 1 & HOT IN 2), with the current monitored on
both inputs at the same time. Since the input is from a single AC source,
both of the input currents are added, then divided in half to determine the
Shore Max setting. If the input breaker is a dual-pole (120/240 VAC input),
set the Shore Max setting to the value of only one of the breaker poles (i.e.,
30A dual-pole = 30A setting). If the input breaker is a single-pole (120 VAC
input) and connected to only one input, set the Shore Max setting to one-half
the input breaker size (i.e., 30A single-pole = 15A setting).
MS-E, MS-PE, MSH-M, MSH-RV and RD-E Series: These models connect to
a single AC source and have one input. Set the Shore Max setting to match
the input AC circuit breaker size.
Dual Source Inverters (i.e., MSH4024RE): These inverters have two separate
inputs (AC1 & AC2), with the current monitored on each input separately.
The
Shore Max
setting is set to the size of the utility breaker feeding the
AC1 input, and the
Shore Max2
setting is set to the size of the gen’s breaker
feeding the AC2 input.
MM, MM-AE and MMS Series (and any export version of these models):
These models do not monitor current on the input, therefore cannot bene
fi
t
from the
Shore Max
setting or feature. On these models, even though the
Shore Max
setting may display and allow selection/adjustment, this setting
does not do anything to reduce the battery charger current
3.3.2 AGS
Menu
The AGS button allows an optional Auto Generator Start – Network (AGS-N)
controller (if installed and networked) to be con
fi
gured to your speci
fi
c
system preferences, and enables you to check the status of the AGS.
Info:
Refer to Section 7.0 (in this manual) and to your ME-AGS-N
Owner’s Manual
(PN: 64-0039) for detailed information on the AGS.
