Greetings One and All--
Yesterday I completed installation of six 200W Rich Solar panels on the roof of my Ventana 3709 with combiner box. I also called Mangum Energy to ask whether my 2812 inverter and my new ME-ARC50 remote control advanced series works with my inverter revision or if I needed a software update. I spoke with Scott Buckhouse in tech support and after he determined that I had just what I needed for my new LifeBlue lithium batteries, he walked me through the new settings necessary on my remote then had me crawl into the basement where my Mangum 2812 inverter was mounted and directed me to the reset button just above the green blinking LED. Then he had me hold it down until I saw the lite blinking rapidly and voila, my inverter and remote were now set for lithium batteries, charge controller and solar array.
Scott also told me to be sure and disconnect the positive inverter cable first from the battery and when reconnecting my inverter cables to the Lithium batteries, to connect the negative first, then the positive.
Today I will finish in the basement, replacing the FLA batteries with my two 200Ah Lifeblue batteries, build cables then fire it all up!
Here is Scott's contact info for anyone needing their tech support:
