Hot Keys

Six hot keys are available to facilitate navigation through the most commonly used operational screens.
Some screens will have operational options, such as ON, OFF, or AUTO, as well as show current operational
status for that function. Status, mode, and measurements are the collective status of the system, not of an
individual inverter, unless specified otherwise.

Screen Items:
Mode displays the setting
selected by the soft keys
(<ON>, <OFF>, or <Search>).
Battery displays the battery voltage, not
compensated for temperature. (See page 37
for the compensated value.)
Input displays the AC input source voltage
and the power in kW drawn from the
AC source.
Output displays the voltage measured at the
inverter's output and the power in kW
produced by the inverter. The inverter's
produced power may equal the load
wattage, but it may also include power sold
to the grid (in grid-interactive inverters).
Load displays the power in kW delivered to
the inverter's output.
