MATE - STATUS / MODES

The STATUS screens allow the system user to check the operation of the FX system. Both AC voltage and AC current meters are provided to enable monitoring, adjustment and troubleshooting of the system operation.

The MODES section lets the user view and change the various modes for a specific FX by pressing the PORT to access a specific FX. The modes include inverter, ac in, charger, auxiliary, and equalize. The operation of these modes can be changed by selecting the CHANGE MODE option on the screen. This is helpful if the user wishes to quickly enable or disable a particular function of a specific FX if necessary.
