DC
This screen gives you vital information about the state of your batteries at the
time of viewing.
The BATT SoC% indicates the actual capacity left in the batteries, just like a
fuel gauge in your car, and will help you make decisions about your power
consumption for the rest of the day. Similarly your Battery Voltage gives a rough
guide to battery condition.
The next four readings give you an overview of what’s going into and coming
out of your batteries. Inverter Current shows the amperage being used by your
SP PRO to run AC loads or the amperage being contributed to battery charging if
the generator is running.

is the nett amount going into or out of the battery pack. If
your Solar Current is greater than your loads a positive figure will be shown while
if your loads are greater than the combination of charging sources a negative
figure will appear. Load Current is the measurement of DC loads monitored by
your Load shunt.
AC SOURCE
This panel reports on the contribution and condition of your motor generator or
the mains grid (where applicable).
The POWER reading records the input from your external power source in
kilowatts.

calculates, as the name suggests, the average power in kW
over the last 5 minutes.

is the RMS AC voltage provided by your external power source.
The actual AC Current, in Amps, is recorded in the fourth window.
The AVAILABLE POWER reading is calculated by deducting the load power
from the AC Source Power you recorded in AC Input Power. Your SP PRO will
automatically reduce the charge current to the batteries to ensure the system
doesn’t draw any more than set from the AC Source.
INVERTER AC
This panel is similar to the preceding panel except that it shows the Inverter
Power and Current from the inverter.
