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 3.0/3.01)
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 3.0/3.01. Also added: Recording AGS fault history, clearing inverter/AGS faults, and
displaying Load Support statuses.
ME-ARC (Rev 3.0/3.01) 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 are accurate only when used with MS, MS-PE, MS-PAE or MSH Series inverters.
[4] The AC amps displays are not 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.
