EVENTS Hot Key
The EVENTS hot key displays the Event History screen. An event is defined as a change in status that
was externally imposed on a device on the HUB. A command to turn the inverter off or on, an automatic
generator start, or a loss of grid power are all defined as events. An event is not necessarily the sign of a
problem; however, the
Event History screen logs all events for potential troubleshooting. In addition,
Errors, Warnings, and AGS Faults are accompanied by the Events LED.
 If the event is an inverter-based warning, the LED will flash.
 If the event is an inverter-based error, then the LED will be on solid. Errors are usually accompanied by the
inverter shutting down. Some warnings can become errors if left unattended.
 An AGS Fault is based in the MATE3. In this case, the LED will be on solid. This fault usually indicates an
automatic generator problem and is not accompanied by an inverter shutdown.
 Multiple events may occur simultaneously.
Soft key options include scrolling through each event and displaying details about that event to
determine if corrective action is required. Events may require acknowledgement before the EVENTS LED
will turn off. See page 150 for more information on troubleshooting event messages.
Event logs can be saved to an SC card. Refer to page 142 for instructions.
