User Interface Features

Go Past END MENU

This command provides the means for the user to move past the END MENU of each menu map for the SW Plus Inverter. Pressing the virtual Navigation Buttons in ICAP will not take the user past the End Menu in each Menu Map like the ICM does.

Menu maps include the User Menu, the Setup Menu, and the Advanced Setup Menu. Each Menu Map has an “END MENU” menu item (e.g., END USER MENU, END SETUP MENU, END ADVANCED SETUP MENU).

To use the “Go Past END MENU” feature:

•When the “END MENU” menu item is displayed in the LCD, click on the “Go Past END MENU” command on the Menu Bar. The program will take the user forward to the next menu map. Or use the keyboard command ALT+G.

ICA Commands

This drop-down menu item provides a means to reconnect, reset, and alter the configuration of the ICAs connected.

Commands include the following:

•Reconnect to ICA

•Reset All ICAs

•Read Configuration

•Read ICA Version
