• On/Work
Time
– Displays the number of hours of active production by the PV array (to
nearest 6-minute increment).
• AH to Batt
– Displays the total amp-hours (AH) delivered from the PT array to the DC
system. This display can be used as a battery load indicator to help identify and monitor the
battery load consumption. The maximum range is 2,550.0 AH (10.0 AH resolution).
• Max
Pwr
– Displays the maximum power output from the PV array in kilowatts (shown as
kW) and the time of day it occurred (to nearest 6-minute increment). The max range is 25.5
kW (.1 kW or 100W resolution).
METER: 07I Clear PT Data History
This read-only menu enables you to delete the PT system’s data history displayed in the
METER:
07H PT Data
menu’s PT Data matrix. Press and hold the SELECT knob for 5 seconds until “
HISTORY
CLEARED
” displays.
Note:
If more than one PT controller is connected in your system, you can clear data history for all
controllers or each individual controller. See Figure 12-5 for instructions on navigating this menu.
Note:
This only clears all previous days’ PT data, not today’s PT data.
METER: 07J PT Version
This read-only menu displays the current software version(s) of the connected PT charge
controller(s).
Note:
“Stacked PT’s are different”
appears if you have varied versions of controllers connected. If
no PT controllers connected, display shows “- . -”.
METER: 07K PT Active
This read-only menu displays the number of active PT controllers connected to your system (i.e.,
PTs shown as “C01, C02, C03”, etc, depending on many PT controllers you have connected and
the particular assigned DIP switch number).
Note:
If only one PT controller connected, “
Not Stacked
” will display.
Note:
If no PT controllers are connected and “
YES
” has been selected from the
TECH: 08 Show All
Menus
option, then “
Not Stacked
” will display.

fi
c TECH Menus
Press the ME-ARTR’s TECH button, and rotate the SELECT knob to access:
TECH: 01 Temperatures
(rotate SELECT knob until
PT Temps
displays)
• 01F
PT Temps
– Displays the temperature of the attached BTS, and the PT controller’s FETs
and Inductor.
PT BTS
–
Displays the temperature of the Battery Temp Sensor (BTS) that is connected to the
PT controller.
Refer to info on the
METER: 07D Target Volts
menu on page 134.
Note:
Shows 305°F/152°C if no BTS is detected, and 304°F/151°C if a shorted BTS is detected.
In either situation (open or shorted BTS), there is no temperature compensation applied to the
battery charging voltage.
PT FETs
– Displays the temperature of the PT controller’s FETs (Field Effect Transistors).
PT Inductor
– Displays the temperature of the PT controller’s internal inductor.
TECH: 04 PT Versions
• Version: #.#
– Displays the software version of the PT controller connected to the Magnum
network (displays “
0.0
” if the PT controller is not communicating on the network).
TECH: 05 Fault History
Press the SELECT knob, rotate the knob to the
PT Faults
option, and then press SELECT.
• H1A PT Fault History
– This menu displays a history of the last nine PT controller faults.
Information for each fault displays from the most recent fault (H1) to the earliest/past recorded
faults (H2 up to H9).
Note:
See Section 3.3.5 for procedures on clearing PT fault history data.
