First screen – The top line displays the PT fault condition. The bottom line displays the fault his-
tory number (ex. H1), day(s) since this fault occurred, and the time that this fault occurred.
Continue to rotate the SELECT knob to display subsequent screens (bottom lines) for this fault.
Second screen – Displays the PT’s operational status at the time of this fault.
Third screen – Displays the PT’s power status at the time of this fault.
Fourth screen – Displays the PT’s relay status at the time of this fault.
Fifth screen – Displays the battery’s voltage and the battery’s amperage at the time of this fault.
Sixth screen – Displays the voltage of the PV array at the time of this fault.
Seventh screen – Displays the temperature of the PT’s BTS at the time of this fault.
Eighth screen – Displays the temperature of the PT’s FETs at the time of this fault.
Ninth screen – Displays the temperature of the PT’s internal inductors at the time of this fault.
Continue to rotate the SELECT knob to display earlier faults (as applicable).
