Front Panel Display Screens and What They Mean

*In a multiple unit system with network cables properly installed, the system values displayed are for the entire system. For example, in a two-inverter system, if inverter #1 is producing 1500 W and inverter #2 is producing 2000 W, both inverters display a total system power of 3500 W. Time online and array readings are for the local inverter and PV array associated with that inverter.

Additional

In addition, to the normal system message screens, additional screens specific to

messages for

each GT Inverter unit can be displayed when the unit is connected with

multiple unit

communications wiring to other GT Inverters. These screens are only available on

systems only

multiple unit systems.

 

 

 

To view unit-specific screens in a multiple unit system:

 

1. Tap the Xantrex logo near the LCD to advance the display to the next screen.

 

Continue tapping until the final system message screen (“Grid Readings”, in

 

Table 5-3above) is displayed.

 

 

 

2. Tap again. Normal operation screens shown in Table 5-4are displayed in the

 

order given, as you tap successively on the unit.

 

If you continue to tap the unit, then the LCD will cycle through all of the available

 

normal operation screens. Each message is displayed for up to 30 seconds. If you

 

do not tap again within that time period, then the LCD backlight turns off and the

 

display reverts to the default normal operation screen (Table 5-2).
