Restrictions on Use

The ME-MW-E may only be used in life-support devices or systems with the
express written approval of Magnum Energy. Failure of the ME-MW-E can
reasonably be expected to cause the failure of that life-support device or
system, or to affect the safety or effectiveness of that device or system. If
the ME-MW-E fails, it is reasonable to assume that the health of the user or
other persons may be endangered.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed
during the installation and operation of this product. Read all instructions
and safety information contained in this manual before installing or using
this product.

• All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local, state,
and federal electrical codes.

• This product is designed for indoor/compartment installation. It must
not be exposed to rain, snow, moisture, or liquids of any type.

• Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of electrical shock or acciden­tal short circuits.

• Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, br acelets, etc. , when installing
or performing maintenance on the ME-MW-E and the inverter system.

• Always disconnect the batteries or energy source prior to installing or
performing maintenance on the ME-MW-E and the inverter system. Live
power may be present at more than one point since an inverter utilizes
both batteries and AC. Turning off the inverter may not reduce this
risk. As long as AC power is connected, it will pass through the inverter
regardless of the power switch on the inverter or the ON/OFF INVERTER
pushbutton on the remote.

Safety Symbols

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fi re, or other safety hazard, the follow-
ing safety symbols have been placed throughout this manual to indicate
dangerous and important safety instructions.

WARNING: This symbol indicates that failure to take a speci­fi ed action could result in physical harm to the user.

CAUTION: This symbol indicates that failure to take a speci­fi ed action could result in damage to the equipment.

Info: This symbol indicates information that emphasizes or
supplements important points of the main text.

1.0 Introduction

1.0 Introduction

The ME-MW-E (MagW eb Wired Ethernet) is a powerful and cost effective tool
for remotely monitoring Magnum inverters and accessories. The MagWeb
system connects to the Magnum network and provides live internet moni­toring of the inverter, battery monitor, and the automatic generator start
module. Using your “always on” internet connection, the MagWeb system
makes live and historical conditions available via a web browser and our
data.magnumenergy.com service.

The MagWeb system uses the sensors and controllers already built into
Magnum products. There are no external sensors to install, confi gure, or
calibrate.

1.1 Product Features

• Wired Ethernet data link from MagWeb device to an “always on”
internet connection

• No sensors to install

• No confi guration required

• Automatically detects connected devices

• Aids remote site management and troubleshooting

1.0 Introduction

1.2 Compatibility and Measurement Channels

Info: All operational information and measurements are

provided by the connected equipment. The MagWeb system
collects and transmits this information. The MagWeb device
is compatible with RD/ME/MS/MS-PAE inverters (versions

2.6 and greater), and MM/MMS inverters (1.0 and greater).
Availability, accuracy, and resolution of the measurements are
dependent on the particular model(s) of Magnum equipment
connected. Contact Magnum Energy to determine if a particu­lar measurement on your inverter or accessories is compatible
with the MagWeb system. Some settings and measurements
are done inside the remote control. Because of this, the data
is not transmitted externally from the remote control and the
MagWeb will not be able to monitor or display this information.

1.2.1 Inverter Only

Not all inverter models provide all measurement channels.

• Inverter model and revision • AC amps in and out

• Inverter stack mode • AC frequency

• Status, including fault(s) • Invert and Charge LEDs

• DC volts • Battery temperature

• DC amps • Transformer temperature

• AC volts out • FET temperature

1.2.2 Inverter + Remote

Compatible with all versions of Magnum’s Standard Remote Control
(ME-RC50), Advanced Remote Control (ME-ARC50), and Router (ME-RTR).
For PAE systems using the Magnum router, the current MagWeb fi rmware will
only monitor one inverter and one of each type of accessory.

Monitored data includes all standard inverter channels plus:

• Remote revision • Low voltage (AC and DC) cutout

• Inverter search watts • Battery type and custom absorb,

• Battery size and type

• Absorb done time • Charge rate and AC input amps

fl oat, and equalize voltages

1.2.3 Inverter + Remote + BMK

All inverter and remote channels and:

• Battery Monitor revision • DC volts – minimum & maximum

• BMK status including fault(s) • Battery effi ciency settings

• State of charge • Amp hours in and out

• DC volts • Resettable and total amp hours

• DC amps
