Product Overview
The ME Series Inverter/Charger from Magnum Energy is a new generation inverter designed specifically for rugged mobile applications. The ME Series is powerful, easy-to-use, and best of all, cost effective.
Safe and reliable: The ME Series is ETL Listed to the stringent requirements of UL/cUL 458 and CSA C22.2 #107.1-01, ensuring that the inverter is safe and reliable.
Easy-to-install: Install the ME Series in four easy steps: simply connect the inverter's output to your distribution circuits or electrical panel, connect your shore power cable (AC) to the inverter's
easy-to-reach terminal block, connect the batteries, and switch on the power.
Features
The ME Series Inverter/Charger is loaded with features:
Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charger: The charger is built into all of our inverter chargers. It uses less energy from a generator than a standard charger - using only 15 amps per 100 amps versus 23 amps used by standard chargers.
Choices: The ME Series comes in three power models, allowing you to choose the model that is right for you.
Versatile mounting: Mount the ME Series on a shelf, bulkhead, or even upside down.
Lightweight: The lightweight aluminum base and cover also provides noise reduction and corrosion resistance.
Multiple ports: The ME Series provides multiple ports, including an RS485 communication port for network expansion, and a remote port.
Accessible design: The extra large AC access cover with terminal screw block and 360° DC connection terminals with covers make this inverter more accessible when it needs to be.
Convenient switches: The ME Series comes with an on/off inverter-mounted switch with an easy-to-read LED indicator.
Expanded transfer relay: 60 Amp transfer service is available on all models.
Buy with ease: The ME Series is backed by a three-year (36-month) limited warranty.
Accessories and Options*
Remote control: For convenient finger-tip operation, including the new one-knob? programming.
AGS module: Automatically starts and stops your generator based on temperature or battery voltage.
