During startup

During operation

When the inverter is offline or there is fault condition

During startup, the inverter’s front panel liquid crystal display (LCD, see

Figure 5-1) shows the first three screens described in Table 5-1, “Startup Screens on GT Inverter Front Panel Display” on page 5–3.

When the protection timer begins, the inverter displays “Reconnecting in sss seconds” (see Table 5-10, “Special Message Screens” on page 5–8).

When the protection timer stops, the GT Inverter begins selling power, indicated by the power output reading in the display (see Table 5-2, “Normal Operation Default Screen” on page 5–4).

When the GT Inverter is offline (for example, at night) or a fault condition has been detected, the LCD shows a message screen to indicate that state. The specific fault condition will be identified. See Table 5-5, “Offline Mode Default Display” on page 5–5and Table 5-8, “Fault Message Screens” on page 5–7.

Important: The values in the front panel LCD are not user adjustable.
