STATUS Screens

Why you want them: Status screens give the user a breakdown of individual activities of the FX Series Inverter/Charger(s) and the Charge Controller(s), including AC and DC voltage and AC current meters. It is these individual readings that combine to produce the Summary screens noted earlier and allow monitoring of the system operation.
