Chapter 6 - The PowerView Display
The Startup Screen
When the system enable switch is placed in the“on” position, the “Startup Screen” appears. Figure
nFuel Percentage - The first line indicates the percentage of battery capacity (fuel) that is presently available.
nLoad Percentage - The second line indicates the percent- age of system capacity that is being used to supply con- ditioned power to the load equipment.
nVoltage and Input Frequency - The third line indicates the input (mains) power voltage, the output voltage sup- plied to the load equipment, and the voltage frequency of the input (mains) power.
nRun Time - The fourth line indicates the run time that can be expected. The intelligence module determines the run time based on the amount of power required by the load equipment, and the power capacity of the bat- tery modules in the Power Array frame.
Note: The PowerView interface will “time out” after ten min- utes of inactivity, and the message on the LCD display will dis- appear. The message will reappear when any navigation key is touched.
