Setup
3.2.2 CTRL (Control) Button and Menus
The CTRL button accesses the 01 ACIn Control, 02 CHG Control, 03 Gen Control and 04 PT Con-
trol menus.
Info: An AGS controller or PT charge controller must be connected in order for those
device-specifi c menus under the 03 Gen Control or 04 PT Control settings to display,
respectively—unless the TECH: 07 Show all Menus menu has been set to “YES”. Refer
to Section 3.2.5 for more information on the TECH 07 menu. Otherwise, “No AGS
Present” appears on the 03 Gen Control screen and “No PT Present” appears on the 04
PT Control screen when you press the SELECT knob from these menus.
The CTRL button gives you quick control of some of the main functions of the inverter/charger
without having to access the SETUP button’s menus in order to change the operation of the in-
verter/charger (generator and charge controller also if connected). Once the settings have been
programmed in the SETUP menus, the features can then be enabled using the CTRL button.
Example: The SETUP: 02C AC In - Time setting is used to set what time of day (e.g., 12AM to
8AM) you want the inverter to connect to the incoming AC. Once the time is set, use the CTRL
button to access the Set ACIn Control menu item and select Time Connect. When Time Connect
is selected, the inverter/charger will only connect to AC when the time is between 12AM and 8AM.
Info: If a ME-ARC remote is connected to a parallel system with a ME-RTR, it acts like a
‘display only’ device with limited user controls. When the ME-ARC is directly connected
to either the inverter or ME-RTR, the CTRL button function of the ME-ARC is defeated.
The ME-ARC however, does contain the 03 Gen Control selection in the FAVS menu.
The generator can be controlled via the ME-ARC through the FAVS menu, but not
through the CTRL menu.
