Monitoring the LED Indicators

The remote’s front panel uses LED indicators to show the status of 

the inverter system. These LED indicators automatically switch be-

tween the inverter or charger mode (MM-RC only) as the operation 

of the inverter system changes.
The LED status indicators show four modes of system operation:

• INVERT - Invert Mode status
• AC IN - Transfer Mode status
• FAULT - Fault Mode status
• BULK, ABSORB or FLOAT (MM-RC only) - Charge Mode status

Info:

 To understand more about the operating modes 

of the inverter or charger, refer to the MM/MM-AE Series 

inverters’

 Owner’s Manual.

MM-R and MM-RC Remotes

The three LED indicators on the left side of both the MM-R and MM-

RC remotes (

s

ee 

Figure 7) 

will show you the operating status of the 

MM/MM-AE Series inverter. 

Monitor these indicators to determine 

the inverter’s mode of operation:

INVERT 

(green)

 - 

• On (solid) 

– and 

AC IN

 LED indicator is Off: The inverter is On. It is 

using energy from the battery to supply AC power to the loads 

connected to the inverter.
– and 

AC IN

 LED indicator is On (solid): The inverter is in 

Standby. The external AC power (utility or generator) connected 

to the inverter’s input is passing through the inverter to power the 

AC loads. The inverter will automatically turn on to power the AC 

loads if the external AC power is lost or disconnected.

• Blinks On (once every second) – The inverter is in Search Mode. 

The AC load is below 5 watts (Search Watts default setting).
• Off – The inverter 

is disabled. The inverter is not on or will not 

come on if AC power is lost or disconnected.

AC IN 

(green)

 - 

• On (solid) – the external AC power (utility or generator) is 

connected to the inverter’s input and passing through the inverter to 

power the AC loads connected to the inverter’s output. 
• Blinking On (once every second) – the external AC power is 

present but not actively being used. Either: 1. The AC input is being 

quali

fi

 ed (takes approximately 15 seconds) or, 2. The input AC 

voltage is low. Ensure the incoming AC voltage is above 90 volts 

(VAC dropout setting with the MM remote connected). 
• Off – No external AC po

wer is detected on the inverter’s input.
