[RE-wrenches] Magnum Energy Remote Control

[Kent Osterberg]

Jeff,

I don't know if this is true for all of the Magnum inverters, but I 
suspect it is:

 From the MS-PAE manual: "The settings once programmed are saved in the 
*remote's* nonvolatile memory and are preserved until changed - even if 
DC power to the inverter is lost (as long as the ME-RC remote is 
connected)." So, if the default settings aren't adequate, your 
customer's will need a remote. They need it to equalize the batteries 
anyway. And since every battery system should have a battery monitor, 
there may as well be a remote for the purpose of using the Magnum BMK.
