MS SERIES | INVERTER/CHARGER
PURE SINE WAVE DESIGNED FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS
Introduction
The MS Series inverter/charger is a line of pure sine wave inverters designed
for mobile, backup, and off-grid applications. MS Series inverter/chargers are
powerful, easy-to-use, and best of all, cost effective.
Features
- Pure Sine Wave – Power your sensitive electronics without worry. The MS Series provides reliable, utility-grade power.
- Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charger – Our PFC charger is built into all of our inverter/chargers. It uses less energy from a generator than a standard charger – 25-30% less AC current than standard chargers.
- Battery Profile Presets – Using the ME-RC, ME-ARC, or ME-MR Remote Controls, easily choose from and set standard battery profiles, including Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) – only available via the ME-RC and ME-MR, Gel, Flooded, AGM1, and AGM2.
- Convenient Wiring Access – An extra large AC access cover with terminal screw block and 360° DC connection terminals with covers make wiring easier.
- Choices – The MS Series is available in 12, 24, and 48- volt configurations.
- Versatile Mounting – Mount the MS Series inverter/charger on a shelf, bulkhead, or even upside down.
- Multiple Ports – The MS Series provides multiple ports, including an RS485 communication port for network expansion, and a remote port.
- Convenient Switches – The MS Series comes with an on/off inverter-mounted switch with an easy-to-read LED indicator.
- Expanded Transfer Relay – 60 Amp transfer service is available on all models except MS2000, which is 30 Amp only.
