Press soft key #3 to display the accumulated total kWh reading in AC or DC the Data

Logging screen.

DCkWh (default) shows DC kiloWatthours and should be used in a non grid tied system.

ACkWh is used with a grid tied system. The heading in the logging screen will change to “TotalKWh AC”. TotalKWh AC is based on a 90% inverter efficiency (1kWH DC = 0.9kWH AC).

Note: Float time does not accumulate (1) when the MX60 is sleeping or (2) when an external power source keeps the battery above fl oat voltage.
