Why is my Magnum Inverter charging at a low rate when connected to AC power?
A low charging rate when connected to AC power can occur if the charge rate is set too low; adjust the charge rate or SHORE settings on the remote. It can also be caused by low AC voltage (less than 90 VAC); in this case, check the AC input wiring.
Why is my Magnum Inverter charging at a low rate when using a generator?
A low charging rate when using a generator can be caused by the generator output being too low to power both the load and the charger. Try reducing the load or increasing the generator's RPMs. Also, check the SHORE settings if a remote is connected.
Why is my Magnum MS2000 charger not charging?
The charger may not be charging due to several reasons. Check for loose or corroded battery cables and clean/tighten them. The batteries might be defective and need replacement. Verify that the charger settings are correct and ensure the unit is not in charger standby. Also, check that the AC input voltage is correct.
What to do if my Magnum Inverter has low output or surge power and the Green LED is flashing?
This issue can arise from several causes: * Loose or corroded battery cables: Clean and tighten all cables. * Low batteries: Recharge or replace the batteries. * Loose AC output connections: Tighten the AC output connections. * Incorrect battery cable length or gauge: Verify the recommended cable lengths and gauges in the manual and replace cables if needed.
What does it mean if my Magnum MS2000 has no output power and the Green LED is flashing?
If your inverter has no output power and the green LED is flashing, it means the unit is in Search mode. This usually indicates that the load is too small for the Search mode circuit to detect. To resolve this, turn on a load greater than 5 watts to bring the inverter to full output power, or turn off Search mode using the remote.
What causes the DC charge voltage to be higher or lower than expected while charging my Magnum MS2000 Inverter?
If a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is installed, the DC voltage will increase or decrease depending on the temperature around the BTS. This is normal.
