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. Once the self-test is
complete, the LED's along with the LCD provide the operating status of the
inverter/charger. See section 5.3.4 for the LED Indicator Guide.

5.1.2 LCD Display

The LCD display is used for setting up the system operation, as well as
viewing the current operating status or any fault condition. 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 while using the METER menu, system troubleshooting
information while in the TECH menu, and menu items that can be confi gured
for your specifi c system operation while in 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.
