What to do if Magnum Energy charger says 'Float Charging' when AC is plugged in?
If your Magnum Energy charger immediately displays “Float Charging” when AC power is connected, it likely means the battery was already charged. Check the DC Volts meter on the ME-RC display. If the battery is over 13.0 VDC (26.0 VDC for 24-volt models or 52.0 VDC for 48-volt models), the charger automatically goes to Float Charging to prevent overcharging.
Why is my Magnum Energy Remote Control display locked up?
Your Magnum Energy Remote Control display may be locked up because the RJ11 connections on the communication cable are not making a good connection, or the remote is not getting sufficient power from the inverter. To resolve this: 1. Disconnect the remote cable from the inverter for 5 seconds and reconnect it. 2. Check the RJ11 cable connection on the back of the remote, ensuring it is pushed into the correct port until you feel/hear a 'click'. Also, ensure the inverter batteries are connected and the inverter is operating correctly, able to invert and power AC loads from batteries without AC power connected to the inverter AC inputs.
How to turn on backlight on Magnum Energy ME-RC Remote Control?
If the LEDs and backlight are off on your Magnum Energy Remote Control, it is likely in Power Saver mode. Press any button to reactivate the remote or turn Power Saver mode off.
What to do if Magnum Energy inverter is in search mode?
If the inverter is turned on, the green INV LED on the inverter is blinking, and there is no output, the inverter is likely in Search mode. You can either turn off Search mode if it's not needed or turn on loads greater than the Search Watts setting.
What to do if Magnum Energy ME-RC display shows fatal error?
If the display shows “fatal error” or “illegal address”, the remote’s internal data addressing was unrecognizable. To fix this, reset the remote by disconnecting the remote communications cable from the inverter for 5 seconds and then reconnect it.
How to fix unrecognizable letters on Magnum Energy Remote Control display?
If the display on your Magnum Energy Remote Control shows unrecognizable letters or symbols, static electricity may have been discharged into the LCD display. To refresh the display, press and hold the SELECT button for 10 seconds.
Why is Magnum Energy charger not charging in Bulk Charging mode?
If your Magnum Energy charger isn't charging even though the CHG LED is on steady and the unit says “Bulk Charging” (or “Absorb Charging”), check the 05 Charge Rate setting and verify the setting is 80% or greater. If the charge rate is still low, check the Shore Max setting to verify. If no AC loads are being ‘passed thru’ the inverter, the Shore Max setting must be 15 amps (25 amps for 3kW unit) or greater, to receive full charge rate. Also, the DC Amps and the DC Volts meters on the ME-RC display should indicate 80% or more of rated charge current if the battery voltage is under 14.0 VDC (28.0 VDC on 24-volt models or 48.0 VDC for 48-volt models).
How to fix unrecognizable display on Magnum Energy Remote Control?
If your Magnum Energy Remote Control displays unrecognizable letters or symbols, it might be due to static electricity. Refresh the display by pressing and holding the SELECT button for 10 seconds.
Why is Magnum Energy charger output voltage higher than expected?
If the charger output voltage on your Magnum Energy system is higher than expected, check the Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) temperature. If the BTS is installed, the charge voltage settings will increase if the temperature around the BTS is below 77° F (25° C), and will decrease if the temperature around the BTS is higher than 77° F (25° C).
Why are my Magnum Energy charge amps lower than expected?
If the charge amps on your Magnum Energy system are lower than expected, or reading 0 amps DC, it could be due to low input AC voltage. Measure the input AC voltage and increase it if it's under 90 VAC. The charge rate is reduced to keep the input voltage above 90 VAC. Also, check the Shore Max and 05 Charge Rate settings to determine if the current is being limited.
