Powerview User Interface
The Powerview incorporates a 4 x 20 alphanumeric LCD screen with four navigation keys, four LED status indicators, and an audible alarm beeper. The display communicates with the Power Array via a local RJ45 connector cable that is hardwired into the top power module bay. It can be mounted on the front of the frame, stand on top of the frame, or it can be installed at a remote location. (A 20’ RJ45 cable is provided, and plugs into a communication port at the rear of the frame.) The alphanumeric LCD screen displays system status, fault reporting and module diagnostics information. The naviga- tion keys are used to scroll through an elaborate menu. Chap- ter 6 provides detailed information about the Powerview.
