5.0 Operation
This section gives a brief overview of the ME-MR remote’s LED indicators,
LCD display, and available buttons. It also covers how to operate an inverter/
charger using the remote, and the various status and fault messages that
may display during operation.
5.1 Front Panel
The ME-MR front panel contains two LEDs and a LCD display for viewing
system status, and three buttons to control system operation.
5.1.1 LED Indicators
The two LED indicators on the front panel illuminate solid or blink to indicate
the inverter/charger’s status. When the remote is fi rst powered up, both
LEDs come on as it goes through a self-test. Once the self-test is complete,
the LEDs and the LCD display provide the operating status of the inverter/
charger. See Section 5.3.4 for the LED Indicator Guide.
5.1.2 LCD Display
The LCD display is used for setting up the system operation as well as viewing
the current operating status—or any fault condition that may occur. This
display has two lines of alphanumeric characters and features a backlight
that can be set to turn off to conserve power. The top and bottom lines
display the inverter/charger’s status, setup menus, and any TECH read only
information. When the remote is powered up, the display automatically
scrolls through the Home screens showing the inverter/charger status and
the battery voltage and current (see Figure 3-1).
