If the MATE2M has one or more FXs connected to it, an FX summary screen will be
displayed. It shows 3 amp meters; AC LOADS, CHARGER, and AC Total.
The AC Loads meter displays the amount of
power consumed by the users loads. It could be
either the FX’s inverting and supplying AC power to the loads, or the amount of power
the loads are consuming from the AC input source, such as the shore cord or
generator. In this example it is 7 amps AC.
AC LOADS 7 AMPS AC
CHARGER 2 AMPS AC
AC Total 9 AMPS AC
Battery GOOD 25.6V
AC LOADS 7 AMPS AC
The CHARGE meter shows the amount of power that the FX is using from an AC input
source to charge the batteries. In this example it is 2 amps AC.
CHARGER 2 AMPS AC
The last line is for displaying battery state and voltage. Battery state is displayed as
GOOD, OK, and LOW depending on battery voltage. Below is a chart describing the
battery voltage at which this state changes.
