3.0 Operation

3.0 Operation

Start-up

After installing and connecting the MM-R/MM-RC remote controls, 

the remote should be tested to ensure it is functional.
1. Press the ON/OFF push button located on the display panel.

Info:

 The ON/OFF control switch is a push button switch 

which functions by momentary pressing and releasing.

2. After pressing the ON/OFF switch verify the INVERT indicator 

(green LED) is on (solid or blinking), and the status indicator on the 

inverter is also on.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch again to turn the inverter off, and then 

verify the INVERT indicator on the remote and the status indicator 

on the inverter both go off.

If the remote passes all the above steps, it’s ready for use.
If the remote fails any of the steps, check all the connections at 

both ends of the communications cable and ensure the inverter is 

operational. If the FAULT indicator comes on, refer to the Trouble-

shooting section in the MM/MM-AE Series inverters’

 Owner’s Manual

 

to help clear the fault condition.

Factory Default Settings

Your MM/MM-AE Series inverter has many functions that have 

changeable settings. These settings are preset and loaded by the 

inverter when turned on. However, if the MM remote control is con-

nected to the inverter, the settings from the remote override any 

default settings in the inverter. The settings in the remote are saved 

in the remote’s non-volatile memory, and will be used — even if DC 

power to the inverter is lost — as long as the remote is connected. 

See Table 1 for the inverter’s default settings and the settings that 

are changed when connected to the MM remote.
