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 info
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 operating status and fault conditions. This display has
two lines of alphanumeric characters and features 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.
