Example #2:

 

Weekday Start-6:00 p.m.

Weekday Stop-6:00 a.m.

Weekend Start-4:00 p.m.

Weekend Stop-8:00 a.m.

Monday—Thursday evenings at 6:00 p.m., the MATE will issue a USE command to the FX allowing the AC input source to be used.

Monday—Friday at 6:00 a.m., a <DROP> will be issued. On Friday evening at 6:00 p.m., a USE will be issued.

The following morning is a weekend (Saturday) so a DROP command will be issued at 8:00 a.m. During Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m., the FX will USE again until Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. On Sunday evening at 4:00 p.m., a USE time period will start, ending on Monday morning at 6:00 a.m.

NOTE:

If the battery voltage falls below the FX’s Low Battery Cut-Off voltage, the FX will automatically connect to the AC input source regardless of the GRID-USE time of day setting.

Because GRID-USE Mode uses the DROP and USE commands, it cannot be enabled at the same time as HBX Mode. Enabling GRID-USE will automatically disable HBX Mode.

GRID-USE Mode only allows one Drop and Use per day. GRID-USE can be affected by the MATE not automatically adjusting its clock for Daylight Savings Time.

A START time that equals a STOP time disables a change during that period (weekdays or weekends). If disabled, the current USE or DROP command will continue through the disabled period. If both the weekday and weekend periods have START and STOP times that are the same, respectively, the GRID-USE Mode will be completely disabled.

To enter grid use mode:

Press until 141 and then press enter.
