User Interface 

 

 

Icons:   

 

 

Grid

: The utility grid source on the 

G

RID

 terminals.  This icon displays grid voltage and frequency.  

See page 18 for more information, including all 

Status

 items below. 

Icon colors: 

  Green = grid 

Status

 is 

Connected

.  Inverter is using grid power.  The grid relay is closed.   

(See page 42.)   

  Yellow = connection has been limited, by one of two means.  

 

When 

Inverter

 is set to 

Off

 in the 

Action Menu

 while 

Grid Input

 was set to 

Use

Status

 is 

Connected

.  The inverter will close the grid relay to transfer power to loads.  However, it will not 

connect this power with the battery charger or any internal function.   

If 

Grid Input

 was set to 

Drop

 in the 

Action Menu

Status

 is 

Dropped

.  No power will be 

transferred.  The inverter will run loads with battery power, if it is able.  

 

  Red = problem with grid source.  See the 

Info

 item on page 18.

 

  Gray = grid 

Status

 (and grid power) is 

Not Available

.  The grid relay is open.  The icon will be 

gray with a 

Status

 of 

Disconnected

 if the grid relay is automatically opened for another reason 

while grid power is still present. 

 

 

Inverter

:  The Mojave inverter itself.  See page 16 for more information, including all 

Status

 items.   

Icon colors:   

  Green = inverting, charging, or other normal operation.  The inverter 

Status

 is simply 

ON

.   

  Yellow = inverter is operating, but is in a 

Warning

 state.  See the 

EVENTS

 view on page 24.   

  Red = inverter has shut down with a status of 

Error

.  This will usually be shown by the main  

LED indicator turning red.  See the 

Info

 item on page 16, the 

EVENTS

 view on page 24, and 

Troubleshooting

 on page 63 for more information on symptoms and errors.  

See page 28 for more information on the main LED indicator. 

  Gray = inverter is inactive.  It has been set to the status of 

OFF

.   

 

 

Loads

:  The protected items on the 

L

OAD

 terminals.  This icon displays load voltage and frequency.  

See page 16.   

Icon colors:   

  Green = inverter is performing 

AC Coupling

.  See page 35. 

  Yellow = inverter is powering loads, either by battery, grid, or generator. 

  Red = inverter has shut down with a status of 

Off

.  The inverter has detected an error at the 

L

OAD

 

terminals.  See the 

Info

 item on page 16 and the 

EVENTS

 view on page 24.

 

  Gray = no loads are being powered.
