Hot Keys

Six hot keys are available to navigate through the most commonly used operational screens. Some
screens will have operational options, such as ON, OFF, or AUTO. Some will show current operational
status for that function. Status, mode, and measurements are the collective status of the system, not of an
individual inverter, unless specified otherwise.

Screen Items:

Mode displays the setting selected by the soft keys
(, , or ).

Battery

displays the battery voltage, not

compensated for temperature. (See page 41

for the

compensated value.)

Input displays the AC input source voltage and the
power in kilowatts drawn from the AC source.

Output

displays the voltage measured at the

inverter’s output and the power in kilowatts produced
by the inverter. The inverter’s produced power may
equal the load wattage, but it may also include power
sold to the grid (in grid-interactive inverters).

Load displays the power in kilowatts delivered to the
inverter’s output.

NOTE: Do not mistake the Inverter soft key for

the

INVERTER hot key. See page 37 for

a comparison between the two.

The

INVERTER hot key can also be used to turn the

inverter on or off. This is a global command issued
to all inverters.
