3.2LED Indicator Lights/Vacuum Fluorescent DisplayLED INDICATOR LIGHTS
The StarInverter PVP1800 and PVP2800 display 2 LED indicator lights visible through the upper left corner of the front panel. These lights will indicate the StarInverter’s status.
If the StarInverter’s operating environment is safe to produce power into the AC grid, the “OK” (Green) LED is illuminated.
If at any moment the operating environment moves outside the safe operating limits, governed by UL 1741, IEEE 519, and NEC 690, the “STAND BY” (Red) LED indicator will be illuminated.
