Product Safety Information
Battery Safety
• Use insulated tools and be very careful when working around batteries, they can produce
extremely high currents if short-circuited (e.g., dropping a metal tool across the battery
terminal), which could cause a fire or explosion.
• Read and follow the battery manufacturer’s safety precautions before installing the inverter
and batteries. Always verify proper polarity and voltage before connecting the batteries
to the inverter. Once the batteries are connected to the inverter, ensure the maintenance
and charging requirements (i.e., charge voltage and charge rate) provided by the battery
manufacturer are followed to extend the life of the batteries and to prevent damage to the
batteries while charging.
• Wear eye protection such as safety glasses, and avoid touching your eyes and face when
working with batteries to keep any fluid/corrosion on the battery from coming in contact
with eyes and skin. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby and thoroughly wash in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. In the event of exposure to the eyes, flood them
for at least 15 minutes with running water and seek immediate medical attention. Baking soda
neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte and vinegar neutralizes spilled NiCad and NiFe battery
electrolyte; depending on your battery type, keep a supply on hand near the batteries.
• Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc., when installing or performing
maintenance on the batteries and inverter. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high
enough to weld metal jewelry, causing severe burns.
• Never work alone. Always have someone within the range of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when working around batteries.
• Use proper lifting techniques when working with batteries.
• Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s label for age, type, and date code
to ensure all batteries are identical.
• Batteries are sensitive to changes in temperature. Install batteries in a stable environment.
• Batteries can produce explosive gasses, so install batteries in a well-ventilated area. For
compartment or enclosure installations, always vent batteries from the highest point to the
outside. Design the battery enclosure to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen
gas in “pockets” at the top of the compartment.
• Provide at least one inch of air space between batteries to provide optimum cooling.
• Never smoke or allow a spark near batteries.
• To prevent a spark at the battery and reduce the chance of explosion, always connect the
cables to the batteries first. Then connect the cables to the inverter.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• The battery bank should be installed in a clean, dry, ventilated environment where they are
protected from high and low temperatures. If installed in a vehicle/boat, the batteries must be
mounted upright (if using liquid batteries) and securely fastened. The location must be fully
accessible and protected from exposure to heat producing devices, and away from any fuel tanks.

Introduction
1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MS-PAE Series inverter/charger from Sensata. The MS-
PAE Series is a “pure” sine wave, standalone, non-grid interactive inverter designed to provide
120 and 240 VAC in a single unit to power loads when inverting/charging. It has two 120 VAC
lines (L1 and L2), a neutral and a ground. The two 120 VAC output lines are 180° out-of-phase
with each other so that the combination of the L1 and L2 lines total 240 VAC, and the voltage
between either L1 or L2 and neutral is 120 VAC. The MS-PAE Series charger can accept 120 VAC
input (to L1 or L2) or 120/240 VAC split-phase input power (to L1 and L2). The incoming AC
power is shared with the charger and the output continues to be 120/240 VAC with either a 120
VAC or a 120/240 VAC input.
When the power requirements of the system are beyond the capacity of a single MS-PAE Series
inverter—or the system is expanded as more loads are added—up to four MS-PAE Series inverters
can be connected together in a parallel configuration. Connecting inverters in parallel increases the
overall inverter power and surge capacity to power a large single load, or several smaller loads.
Simply connect the inverter’s output to your distribution circuits or electrical panel, connect your
utility or generator power (AC) to the inverter’s easy-to-reach terminal block, connect the batteries,
and then switch on the power. Using optional remote controls (ME-RTR, ME-ARC, or ME-RC), you
can easily operate and monitor your inverter from a remote location.
Info: This is a sizable manual and much of it is fairly technical. Terms may be used
throughout the manual that are unfamiliar to you. Refer to the Inverter/Charger
Terminology glossary in Appendix D for clarification.
The MS-PAE Series inverter/charger includes the following:
• 4000 watt model in a small footprint—less area needed for installation
• Ability to parallel up to four identical MS-PAE inverters to increase output power capability
(requires ME-RTR)
• Pure sine wave output
• 120/240 VAC split-phase output in a single inverter
• Automatic PFC (Power Factor Corrected) multi-stage battery charging
• RS485 standard communication protocol
• Remote and Network ports (easy connection for optional accessories)
• Inverter-mounted ON/OFF switch with LED indicator
• 30-amp per leg AC pass-thru capability
• Field serviceable for qualified personnel—tested repair kits available
• Automatic battery temperature compensation (when using the Battery Temperature Sensor)
for optimum charging even during extreme temperature changes
• Overcurrent, over-temperature, and high/low battery voltage protection
1.0.1 Regulatory Compliance
The MS-PAE Series inverter/charger is designated as a Standalone (non grid-interactive) power
inverter with an internal battery charger. It can be connected to the utility grid (or to a generator)
to allow the inverter batteries to be charged, and to power inverter loads while connected. The
MS-PAE Series is not a grid-interactive (also known as utility-interactive) inverter and does not
have the capability to export (or sell) power back into the utility grid.
The MS-PAE Series has been tested and listed to UL1741, 1st Edition (Inverters, Converters and
Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems) for use in the US; and is also certified to CSA
C22.2 No. 107.1-01 (General Use Power Supplies) for use in Canada. It has been tested and
certified to these product safety standards by Intertek Testing Services (known as ETL), which is
a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). NRTL’s are qualified organizations that meet
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to perform independent safety
testing and product certification.

When the inverter is properly connected to batteries and turned on, the direct current (DC) from
the batteries is transformed into a pure sine wave alternating current (AC). This AC is similar to
the voltage provided by your utility, and is used to power the electrical appliances (i.e., AC loads)
connected to the inverter’s output.
Standby Mode
When an external source of AC power (e.g., utility power or generator) is connected and qualified
on the inverter’s AC input, it operates in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the unit operates as a
battery charger to convert the incoming AC power into DC power to recharge the batteries; while
at the same time, an internal AC transfer relay is automatically closed and passes the incoming AC
power directly to the inverter’s output to continue powering the connected electrical appliances.
1.1.1 Inverter Applications for Permanent Installations
An inverter can be used for backup power in a permanent location that normally uses utility power,
such as a home or office. When utility power is available, the inverter keeps the batteries charged.
When the utility power fails, the inverter comes on automatically to supply AC power to your home
or office during the power failure. For a home or business, reliable backup power is needed to
prevent lost computer data, or to maintain lights and keep food fresh in the refrigerator/freezer.
In some areas, where utility power is not available, the inverter can be used in a standalone
renewable power system. The inverter enables AC electrical appliances to be run from the storage
battery bank. When the battery bank becomes discharged, either renewable DC sources (solar,
wind, or hydropower) can be used to recharge the batteries, or a generator can be connected to
the inverter to power the system while the batteries recharge.
1.1.2 Advantages of a Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Today’s inverters come in three basic output waveforms: square wave, modified sine wave (which
is actually a modified square wave), and pure sine wave (see Figure C-1 in Appendix C). Modified
sine wave inverters approximate a pure sine wave form and will run most appliances (see also
Section C-1 “Appliance Power Consumption” in Appendix C) and electronics without any problems.
These inverters are less expensive, and therefore, offer a viable alternative to more expensive
pure sine inverters.
The output of the MS-PAE Series, which is a pure sine wave inverter, is equal to or in many cases,
better than the utility power used in your home. Virtually any electronic device will operate from
a pure sine wave inverter. Motors run cooler, microwaves usually cook faster, and clocks keep
better time just to name a few examples. Without compromising quality or performance, the MS-
PAE Series provides you with all the advantages of a pure sine wave inverter at a much lower
cost than many on the market.
The MS-PAE Series is built on the same platform as our popular MS Series which helps reduce
cost by using standard parts/accessories across many models. Magnum accessories such as the
Advanced Remote Control (ME-ARC), Router (ME-RTR), Automatic Generator Start-Networked
(ME-AGS-N), and Battery Monitor Kit (ME-BMK) can be used. See Section A-2 “Optional Equipment
and Accessories” for more information on these products.
Info: For the MS-PAE Series inverter/charger to perform optimally, a minimum battery
bank of 200 AH is recommended for moderate loads (<1000W), and greater than 400
AH for heavy loads (≥1000W).

Introduction
1.2 Features and Benefits
The MS-PAE Series inverter/charger is designed to allow quick access to wiring, circuit breakers
and controls, and easy viewing of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) status indicator. Its die cast
base plate with one-piece aluminum cover ensures maximum durability with minimum weight,
as well as cooler more efficient operation. The MS-PAE Series has the following external features
(see Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3):
1Power ON/OFF Switch – a momentary pushbutton switch that alternately turns the
inverter on or off.
2Charging/Inverting LED Indicator – a green LED that illuminates to provide information
on inverter or charger operation.
3Stack/Accessories Port (red label) – a RJ45 port that connects to the ME-RTR router,
which is used to configure and synchronize multiple MS-PAE units to operate in parallel
for increased power capacity.
CAUTION: Only connect this parallel Stack port to a ME-RTR router. Although the cabling
and connectors used in this network system are the same as ethernet connectors, this
network is not an ethernet system. Attempting to connect these two different systems
may cause damage and is not covered under warranty.
Info: MS-PAE Series inverters cannot be connected in parallel without networking them
to the optional ME-RTR (AKA router).
4Network Port (green label) – a RJ11 port that accepts optional network-capable
accessories [i.e., Auto Gen Start (AGS) or Battery Monitor (BMK)].
5Remote Port (blue label) – a RJ11 port that allows optional remote control displays
(i.e., ME-RC, ME-ARC, or ME-RTR) to be connected.
6Battery Temp Sensor Port (yellow label) – a RJ11 port that accepts the remote Battery
Temperature Sensor (BTS) accessory.

Installation
2.0 Installation
Before proceeding, read the entire installation section to determine how you are going to install
your MS-PAE inverter/charger. The more thorough you plan in the beginning, the better your
inverter needs will be met.
Info: Installations should be performed by qualified personnel, such as a licensed
or certified electrician. It is the installer’s responsibility to determine which safety
codes apply and to ensure that all applicable installation requirements are followed.
Applicable installation codes vary depending on the specific location and application of
the installation.
CAUTION: Review the “Important Product Safety Information” on pages ii-v before
proceeding with the installation.
CAUTION: The inverter is heavy (55 lb/24.9 kg). Use proper lifting techniques during
installation to prevent personal injury.
The simplified system diagrams shown in this manual are provided to assist you in planning and
designing your installation. They are not intended to override or restrict any national or local
electrical codes. These diagrams should not be the determining factor as to whether the installation
is compliant, that is the responsibility of the electrician and the on-site inspector.
Info: If you are installing multiple MS-PAE inverters in a parallel configuration, follow the
information in this section and refer also to Section 4.0 for specific parallel instructions.
2.1 Pre-Installation

Installation
2.1.3 Locating the Inverter
Only install the inverter in a location that meets the following requirements:
Clean and Dry – The inverter should not be installed in an area that allows dust, fumes, insects or
rodents to enter or block the inverter’s ventilation openings. This area also must be free from any
risk of condensation, water, or any other liquid that can enter or fall on the inverter. The inverter
uses stainless steel fasteners, plated copper busbars, a power-coated aluminum base, and the
internal circuit boards are conformal coated—all done to help fight the harmful effects of corrosive
environments. However, the life of the inverter is uncertain if used in these type of environments,
and inverter failure under these conditions is not covered under warranty.
Info: If the inverter is installed in an area where moisture may occur, we recommend
putting silicone dielectric grease compound into the RJ45/RJ11 electrical ports (Figure
1-1, Items 3-6). Before installing the accessory cables or if leaving any ports open,
squirt a liberal amount into each port. Silicone dielectric compound makes an effective
moisture barrier to help prevent corrosion.
Cool – The inverter should be protected from direct sun exposure or equipment that produces
extreme heat.
Info: The ambient temperature around the inverter must not exceed 77°F (25°C) to
meet power specifications.
Ventilation – In order for the inverter to provide full output power and avoid over-temperature
fault conditions, do not cover or block the inverter’s ventilation openings or install this inverter
in an area with limited airflow. The inverter uses two internal fans to provide forced air cooling,
these fans pull in air through the intake vents (Figure 1-2, Item 9) and blow out air through the
exhaust vents (Figure 1-3, Item 13). Allow at the minimum an airspace clearance of 6” (15.2 cm)
at the intake and exhaust vents, and 3” (7.6 cm) everywhere else to provide adequate ventilation.
If the inverter is installed in an enclosure, a fresh air intake opening must be provided directly to the
front side (intake vents) of the inverter and an exhaust opening on the back side (exhaust vents)
of the inverter. This will allow cool air from the outside to flow into the inverter and heated air to
exit from the inverter and out of the enclosure. When mounted in an enclosed compartment, airflow
must be at least 100 cfm in order to maintain no more than a 68°F (20°C) rise in compartment
temperature.
CAUTION: Do not install this inverter in a zero clearance compartment. Do not cover
or obstruct the ventilation openings—overheating may result.
Safe – Keep any flammable/combustible material (i.e., paper, cloth, plastic, etc.) that may be
ignited by heat, sparks, or flames at a minimum distance of 2 feet (61 cm) away from the inverter.
Do not install this inverter in any area that contains extremely flammable liquids like gasoline or
propane, or in locations that require ignition-protected devices.
Close to the battery bank – As with any inverter, it should be located as close to the batteries
as possible. Long DC wires tend to lose efficiency and reduce the overall performance of an
inverter. However, the unit should not be installed in the same compartment as the batteries or
mounted where it will be exposed to gases produced by the batteries. These gases are corrosive
and will damage the inverter; also, if these gases are not ventilated and allowed to collect, they
could ignite and cause an explosion. The absolute maximum recommended battery cable length is
15 feet (4.6 m).
Accessible –Do not block access to the inverter’s RJ45/RJ11 electrical ports, ON/OFF switch, and
status indicator. Also, allow enough room to access the AC and DC wiring terminals and connections,
as they will need to be checked and tightened periodically. See Figure 2-3 for the MS-PAE Series
inverter/charger’s dimensions.
Away from sensitive electronic equipment – High powered inverters can generate levels of RFI
(Radio Frequency Interference). Locate any electronic equipment susceptible to radio frequency
and electromagnetic interference as far away from the inverter as possible.

Installation
2.1.4 Mounting the Inverter
The inverter base can reach a temperature up to 194°F (90°C), and should be mounted on a
noncombustible surface*. This surface and the mounting hardware must also be capable of
supporting at least twice the weight of the inverter. To meet regulatory requirements, the MS-PAE
Series must be mounted in one of the following positions—as shown in Figure 2-2:
• above or under a horizontal surface (shelf or table),
• or, on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals toward the bottom, the MP-HOOD
(inverter hood) installed over the exhaust vents (top), and either the ME-CB or MPX-CB
(Conduit box), the MMP Series (single inverter enclosure), or the MP Series (multiple inverter
enclosure) attached to the inverter’s DC end (bottom).
Info: ME-CB, MPX-CB, MMP/MP Series enclosures prevent material from falling out the
bottom in the event of an internal fire, and also allow sufficient ventilation to prevent the
inverter from overheating under normal operating conditions. The MP-HOOD inverter
hood helps prevent items from falling inside causing damage to the inverter.
Info: Sensata provides a back plate with a suitable surface for mounting the inverter.
These back plates also provide the ability to mount either the MMP Series enclosure
(PN: BP-MMP) or the MP Series Enclosure (PN: BP-S, Single Plate or BP-D, Dual Plate).
After determining the mounting position, refer to the physical dimensions as shown in Figure 2-3
or use the base of the inverter as a template to mark your mounting screw locations. After marking
the mounting screw locations, mount the unit with appropriate mounting hardware.
*Noncombustible surface – Material that will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable
vapors when subjected to fire or heat as per the ASTM E136 standard (such as fiber cement board,
stone, steel, iron, brick, tile and concrete). Common building materials such as gypsum board as well
as any paint, wall coverings, and certainly wood will not suffice.

2.1.5 Wiring the Inverter
This section also describes the requirements and recommendations for wiring the MS-PAE Series
inverter/charger. Before wiring the MS-PAE Series inverter/charger, read all instructions.
All wiring should meet all local codes and standards and be performed by qualified
personnel such as a licensed electrician.
The NEC (National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70) for the United States and the CEC (Canadian
Electrical Code) for Canada provide the standards for safely wiring residential and commercial
installations. The NEC/CEC lists the requirement for wire sizes, overcurrent protection, and
installation methods and requirements.
Inverter/charger systems involve power from multiple sources (inverter, generator, utility, batteries,
solar arrays, etc.) which make the wiring more hazardous and challenging.
The input and output AC and DC circuits are isolated from the inverter chassis. The inverter system
grounding is the responsibility of the installer in accordance with the NEC.
WARNING: To prevent accidental shock, ensure all sources of DC power (i.e., batteries,
solar, wind, or hydro) and AC power (utility power or AC generator) are de-energized
(i.e., breakers opened, fuses removed) before proceeding.
2.1.6 Protecting Wire – Conduit Box or Inverter Enclosure
The AC and DC wires into and out of the inverter must be protected by rigid tubing, as required
by code to comply with residential and commercial installations. This is normally done by feeding
the wires through conduit. Sensata provides a conduit box (ME-CB or MPX-CB), a single inverter
enclosure (MMP Series), and a multiple inverter enclosure (MP Series) that include knockouts
to conveniently accommodate AC/DC wiring enclosed and protected by conduit. The MP/MMP
enclosures also include the necessary AC and DC inverter breakers that allow both the AC and DC
conduit to be connected to the inverter.
2.1.7 Wiring Requirements
• All conductors that are at risk to physical damage must be protected by conduit, tape, or
placed in a raceway.
• Always check for existing electrical, plumbing, or other areas of potential damage prior to
making cuts in structural surfaces or walls.
• Both AC and DC overcurrent protection must be provided as part of the installation.
• The inverter requires a reliable negative and ground return path directly to the battery.
• Use only copper wires with a minimum temperature rating of 194°F (90°C).
2.1.8 Wire Routing
Before connecting any wires, determine all wire routes throughout the home to and from the
inverter. Typical routing scenarios are:
• AC input wiring from the main AC panel to the inverter
• AC input wiring from a generator (optional) to the inverter
• DC input wiring from the batteries to the inverter
• AC output wiring from the inverter to an AC sub-panel or to dedicated circuits
• Battery Temperature Sensor cable from the inverter to the batteries
• Remote control cable (optional) to the inverter
• Ground wiring from the inverter to an external ground
2.1.9 Torque Requirements
Torque all AC wiring connections to 16 in lbf (1.8 Nm) and AC/DC ground connections to 45 in lbf
(5.1 Nm). Torque DC cable connections from 10 to 12 ft lbf (13.6 to 16.3 Nm).
