Figure 23 Home Screen for Backup
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). This symbol only appears when the
System Information menu (see page 74) shows an AC
generator. The field is blank if no generator is selected and only utility grid is used.
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 meter bar next to the house symbol measures power delivered to the inverter’s output. This meter bar expands
from left to right. The bar is scaled to 125% of the system’s total inverting capacity and is used whether the inverter is
in
Invert or PassThru mode. The bar is marked at the 100% line to indicate when loads exceed the inverter capacity.
If exceeded, this may be an indicator to reduce the loads.
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 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 utility grid, or the batteries.
 If an inverter fault occurs, it will be replaced with the symbols ! (An event message will also appear.)
 If a generator problem 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.
