Inverter Compatibility Sheet for the ME-ARC with Revision 4.0
The ME-ARC has many advanced settings, and is designed to work with the advanced features in your Magnum inverter
and/or other Magnum devices (i.e., ME-AGS-N or ME-BMK). The ME-ARC communicates with your inverter to allow
these advanced features to be set up or enabled. However, when the ME-ARC is released with a new software revision,
some of the features and functionality in this remote may not be available in an inverter or networked accessory that
has an earlier software level. In this case, when the advanced setting is requested from the ME-ARC to your inverter
(or any other Magnum device networked with the inverter), this setting is not recognized and will not function. Use the
steps below to help you determine which ME-ARC (Revision 4.0) menus/features are compatible with your inverter.
1. Go to: http://magnumenergy.com/inverter-compatibility/ to determine your inverter’s compatibility level (L1,
L2, L3 or L4).
2. Use the table below to determine which ME-ARC ‘Features/Settings’ you want to use and what inverter
compatibility level is required (see ‘Inverter Model/Level Required’).
3. If your inverter compatibility level is the same or greater than the ‘Inverter Model/Level Required’, then your
inverter can support the device setting/feature you want.
4. If your inverter does not have the required compatibility level for a feature/setting you want, contact Magnum
Energy to determine if there is a software upgrade option for your inverter.

* 12-volt values shown; for 24-volts systems - multiply by 2 and for 48-volt systems - multiply by 4.
** These settings return to the factory default setting when power to the remote is removed.
[F] Features added to Rev 4.0.
ME-ARC (Rev 4.0) Compatibility Matrix Notes:
[1] Will not work with MM/MM-E/MM-AE/MMS/MMS-E models.
[2] AC Couple Mode activates when Battery Type = Custom with MS-PAE Series ≥Rev 4.1 or MS/MS-PE series ≥5.0.
[3] The AC output volts/frequency are only accurate when used with MS, MS-PE, MS-PAE or MSH Series inverters.
[4] The AC amps are only accurate and may not be shown unless connected to MS-PE, MS-PAE or MSH Series
inverters.
[5] Level 2 and 3 inverters can be used, but:
Level 2 inverters are limited from 1.0 hour to 4.5 hours,
Level 3 inverters <Rev 4.1 are limited from 1.0 hour to 6.5 hours,
Level 3 inverters ≥Rev. 4.1 (and MMS Rev 1.5) are limited from 1.5 hours to 6.5 hours;
Any setting outside these limited ranges is not recognized and reverts to the inverter's default absorption time (2.0
hours).
[6] Requires ≥Level 4 to display.
[7] SOC features require the ME-BMK (Battery Monitor Kit) to be installed.
[8] To manually turn the generator "ON" with the remote, ME-AGS-N rev 5.0 or higher is required.
