Inverter Soft Keys Inverter Screen:The upper left corner of the screen shows the inverter’s current mode of operation. The example above shows the current mode as Charging.

Invert displays the kilowatts and AC amperage being generated by the inverter. This power may go to loads, or in a grid-interactive system, it may be sold back to the utility grid.Charge displays the kilowatts and AC amperage being consumed for the inverter to charge the battery bank. This line also shows the current charging stage (BULK in this example).Load displays the power in kilowatts and AC amperage being consumed by devices on the inverter’s output. May or may not be the same number as Invert.Buy displays the kilowatts and AC amperage being brought into the inverter’s input for both charging and loads. This usually reads as a total of the Charge and Load items. Battery displays the uncompensated battery voltage. AC Out displays the AC voltage measured at the inverter’s output. If an AC source is present, this reading is usually the same as AC In. AC In displays the AC voltage measured at the inverter’s input from an AC source. AUX displays the current status of the inverter’s Auxiliary (AUX) output.

Inverter Battery Screen:

Actual displays the uncompensated battery voltage.

Absorb displays the Absorption voltage setting which was programmed into the inverter’s charger. During the bulk and absorption stages, this is the target voltage used by the charger.

Float displays the Float voltage setting which was programmed into the inverter’s charger. During the float stage, this is the target voltage used by the charger.

Equalize displays the Equalization voltage setting which was programmed into the inverter’s charger. During the equalization charging cycle, this is the target voltage used by the charger.

Temp Comp displays the corrected battery voltage after temperature readings are taken into account from the Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS). If no RTS is present, Temp Compand Actual will read the same.

Batt Temp displays the battery temperature in degrees Celsius, as measured by the RTS. This reading is only valid for port 1 on the HUB. If other ports are selected, or if no RTS is present, the characters ### will be displayed.

Re-Float displays the Re-Float setting which was programmed into the inverter’s charger. This is the voltage used for the inverter to return from Silent mode to the float stage.

Inverter Warnings Screen:

AC Freq Too High: The AC source is above the acceptable frequency limit and prevents connection.

AC Freq Too Low: The AC source is below the acceptable frequency limit and prevents connection.

Voltage Too High: The AC source is above the upper acceptable voltage limit and prevents connection.

Voltage Too Low: The AC source is below the lower acceptable voltage limit and prevents connection.

Input Amps > Max: AC loads are drawing more current from the AC source than allowed by the input setting.

Temp Sensor Bad: An internal inverter temperature sensor may be malfunctioning. This is indicated by an unusual Transformer, Output FETs, or Capacitorsreading.

Comm Fault: Probable failure on inverter’s control board which has interrupted internal communications.

Fan Failure: The inverter’s internal cooling fan is not operating properly. Lack of cooling may result in derated inverter output wattage.

Inverter Errors Screen:

Low Output Voltage: The inverter’s AC regulation cannot be maintained under high load conditions.

AC Output Shorted: The inverter exceeded its maximum surge current due to severe overload.

AC Output Backfeed: Usually indicates another AC power source (out of phase with the inverter) was connected to the unit’s AC output.

Stacking Error: A programming problem among stacked units. (Often occurs if there is no master.)

Low Battery V: The DC voltage is below the Low Battery Cut-Out (LBCO) set point.

High Battery V: The DC voltage is above the inverter’s acceptable level (as specified in the Operator’s Manual).

Over Temperature: The inverter has exceeded its maximum allowed operating temperature.

Phase Loss: A slave was ordered to transfer to AC by the master, but no AC is present. The unit continues inverting. This is the only “Error” that is not accompanied by a shutdown.

The Inverter Temps screen displays the readings for the inverter’s internal temperature sensors.

Battery Stats Screen:

Cycle Charge Factor compares the amp-hours removed from the battery and those returned to the battery while charging. It displays the comparison as a percentage. This number can be compared against the programmed charge factor to judge battery charging efficiency.

Cycle kWH Charge Efficiency compares the kilowatt-hours removed from the battery and those returned to the battery during all activity (such as float charging). It displays the comparison as a percentage. This number can be used to judge overall battery efficiency.

Total Days at 100% displays the number of days since the batteries reached 100% SOC. If the batteries are not at 100%, this will read 0.

Lifetime kAH Removed accumulates the total amp-hours that were ever drained from the batteries.

Shunt Status Screen:

Returned to Battery and Removed from Battery show the total accumulated amp-hours that have been delivered to the battery bank (as charging) or removed from the battery bank (as loads).

Max Charge Rate and Max Discharge Rate show the highest level of current that was registered either entering (charging) or leaving (discharging) the batteries. The Reset Max soft key can reset both numbers at once.

FLEXnet DC Datalog Screen:Today The item in the upper left corner shows the date of the selected Datalog screen. The current Datalog screen reads "Today."Minimum SOC shows the lowest battery state of charge (SOC) for that day.Input shows the number of amp-hours and kilowatt-hours brought into the batteries that day.Output shows the number of amp-hours and kilowatt-hours removed from the batteries that day.Net shows the net gain or loss in amp-hours or kilowatt-hours that day.

Press <Program> to program the settings and

commit them to the MATE3 internal memory.

Press <Save> to save the settings to the SD card.

Recommendation:1. Program the system first.;2. Then Save the settings to the

SD card for use in the future. NOTE: Saving without programming the system first, may result in the loss of settings.

In other words, changes made to settings may not be set in internal memory and can be lost.

Programming the system commits the settings to internal memory.

Saving the profile to the SD card saves a copy of that profile onto the SD card so that it can be retrieved at a later time if required.
