Operation
5.1.1 LED Indicators
There are four LED indicators on the front panel that light solid or blink to indicate the inverter/
charger’s status. When the remote is fi rst powered-up, all the LED’s come on as it goes through
a self test (See Section 2.5 for information on the Self Test). Once the self test is complete and
the clock is set, the LED’s and the LCD provide the operating status of the inverter/charger. See
Section 5.3.5 for more information on the LED indicators.
5.1.2 LCD Display
The LCD display is used for setting up the system operation, as well as viewing the current oper-
ating status and fault conditions. This display has two lines of alphanumeric characters and fea-
tures a backlight that can be set to turn off to conserve power. The top line provides the inverter/
charger status, which is detailed in this section. The bottom line displays battery information
when using the METER menu, displays system troubleshooting information when using the TECH
menu, and displays menu items that can be confi gured for your specifi c system operation when
using the SETUP menu. This display automatically powers-up with the current system status on
the top line and the home screen (detailing the inverter’s DC voltage and current as shown in
Figure 5-1) on the bottom line.
