NOTES:
The utility grid symbol in the lower right corner of the screen marks a voltmeter that measures the AC voltage of the
utility grid (or AC source).
The inverter symbol on the bottom of the screen marks a kilowatt meter that measures the amount of power being
used by the inverter from the generator (or AC source). This meter bar expands from left to right.
The battery symbol on the bottom of the screen marks a voltmeter that measures the uncompensated battery voltage.
The battery symbol in the top right corner of the screen marks a percentage meter that shows the SOC of the batteries
as measured by the battery monitor. If no battery monitor is present, this figure will be replaced by another voltmeter.
The dollar symbol next to the bar actually marks two meter bars.


The meter on the right measures the amount of power sold back to the utility grid when grid-tied.
This meter bar expands from left to right.

The meter on the left measures the amount of power bought from the grid or AC source for charging or loads.
This meter bar expands from left to right.
The house symbol next to the meter bar measures power delivered to the inverter's output.
This meter bar expands from left to right.
The PV symbol in the lower left of the screen marks a kilowatt meter that measures the amount of PV power generated.
The PV symbol next to the bar shows a graphic display of the PV power generated. This meter expands from left to
right. If no charge controller is present on the HUB, neither of these symbols will be present.
This symbol indicates that no problems are noted with either the inverter, the utility grid, or the batteries.
OK

If an inverter fault occurs, it will be replaced with the symbols

If a grid problem occurs, it will be replaced with the symbols

If a battery monitor is present and registers a battery problem, it will be replaced by the symbols
(An event message will also appear.) See pages 132 and 139 for information on these messages.
