Figure 21 Home Screen for Off Grid
NOTES:
The generator symbol in the lower right corner of the screen marks a voltmeter that measures the AC voltage of
the generator (or AC source). The generator symbol next to the meter bar shows a graphic display of the power
being used from the generator (or AC source). This meter expands from left to right.
The inverter symbol on the bottom of the screen marks a kilowatt meter that measures the amount of power
being used by the inverter from the generator (or AC source). The inverter symbol next to the center of the
screen actually marks two meter bars.
 The meter on the left measures the amount of power taken out of the inverter when inverting or supporting
loads. This meter bar expands from right to left.
 The meter on the right measures the amount of power taken into the inverter when charging.
This meter bar expands from left to right.
The battery symbol on the bottom of the screen marks a voltmeter that measures the uncompensated battery
voltage. (For a compensated voltage, see page 41.) The battery symbol in the top right corner of the screen
marks a percentage meter that shows the SOC of the batteries as measured by the battery monitor. See page 112
for details. If no battery monitor is present, this figure will be replaced by another voltmeter.
The PV symbol in the lower left of the screen marks a kilowatt meter that measures the amount of PV power
generated. The PV symbol next to the bar shows a graphic display of the PV power generated. This meter bar
expands from left to right. If no charge controller is present on the HUB, neither of these symbols will be present.
OK
This symbol indicates that no problems are noted with either the inverter, the generator, or the batteries.
 If an inverter fault occurs, it will be replaced with the symbols ! . (An event message will also appear.)
 If a generator fault occurs, it will be replaced with the symbols ! . (An event message will also appear.)
 If a battery monitor is present and registers a battery problem, it will be replaced by the symbols ! or
X . (An event message will also appear.) See pages 150 and 151 for information on these messages.
