•Display On State
The Display state is enabled by pressing any key on the SMARTBOX™ Controller. This state will enable the LCD backlight and cause user information to scroll on the second line of the LCD screen. This state is also active when accessing the menus. If no buttons are pressed, the SMARTBOX™ Controller will automatically switch back to the running state.
•Display Off State
The off state is the default state if the turbine is producing energy from the wind, waiting for the wind, or if any button on the system controller is pressed. The display backlight will be off and no information will scroll. If any faults occur in this state, the fault will be displayed. The controller will maintain this state if the turbine input voltage is greater than 20VDC.
