Entering the SETUP Menu When the PIN Is Set and Locked

A PIN has been set and the SETUP button menus are locked when the SETUP button is pressed and 
the “Enter SETUP PIN = 0***” menu appears on the screen. The correct/original PIN (2014) must be 
entered to access the menu. If the incorrect PIN is entered, “Invalid PIN” displays. There is no limit to 
how many attempts can be made to enter the correct PIN.

To enter an existing PIN (from the Enter SETUP PIN = 0*** menu):

1.  Rotate the SELECT knob to the correct digit, and then press the knob.
2.  Repeat Step 1 to enter the remaining three digits of the existing PIN.
3.  After pressing the SELECT knob for the last digit, access to the SETUP menu is permitted.

Info:

 After the correct PIN has been entered, there is no need to reenter it to access another protected 

menu—unless five (5) minutes have passed without any button push.

Changing an Existing PIN

The PIN can be changed at any time. First, go to the TECH: 05 SETUP PIN menu and then enter the 
existing PIN to access the “Change PIN” menu item.

To change an existing PIN (from the 05 SETUP PIN menu):

1.  Use the SELECT knob to enter the existing PIN (see procedure above).
2.  After the existing PIN is entered and SELECT has been pressed for the last digit, the “Set SETUP” 

options menu appears.

3.  Rotate the SELECT knob to the “Change PIN” option, and then press the SELECT knob. The “Set 

SETUP PIN” menu appears with the current PIN displayed and the first PIN digit blinking.

4.  Enter a new four-digit PIN. 

Note:

 The number “0000” is not an option.

5.  After pressing the SELECT knob for the last digit, the new PIN is set. The display will return to the 

“Set SETUP PIN” menu where the SETUP button menus may be “locked/unlocked.

Resetting the PRO-Verter 5000 PIN

Access to critical PRO-Verter program settings is 
protected by a personal identification number (PIN). 
The PIN set at the Solar Stik Factory is the year 
that is printed on the I-Plate, which corresponds 
to the year that the PRO-Verter was manufactured. 
The PIN can be changed to to any other suitable, 
secure, four-digit number.

EMERGENCY STOP:

 Turn off 

POWER

 switch on the

 PRO-Verter 7000 

and disconnect

 

both 

Inter-

Connect Strips.

DO NOT STORE BATTERIES IN A DISCHARGED STATE!

  Always recharge batteries completely 

before storage or transport. Regular maintenance charging is critical.

DO NOT USE THE PRO-VERTER 7000 IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MODIFIED SINE WAVE AC 
INPUT SOURCE.

The 

AES

 should be co-located next to the MEP-802A generators. 

The 

PAMs

 should be positioned with a southern exposure and have an unobstructed view of the sky 

to allow maximum direct sunlight onto the panel surfaces.

Use only the 

FAVS 

and 

CRTL

 menu

 

button on the 

PRO-Verter 7000

 control.  The Setup menu might 

be locked. Consult operations manual or contact Tech Support for unlocking instructions.

If the load requirement is at or close to the maximum rated output of the generator, the 

PRO-Verter 

7000

 will not be able to properly charge the 

Expander PAKs

, resulting in continuous generator 

operation.

                   

RESETTING FAULT CONDITIONS

Generator Fault:

Turn 

GENERATOR CONTROL

 to 

OFF

 and then 

ON

 or 

AUTO

Over Current Condition:

Check CIRCUIT BREAKERS. If GREEN LED is not illuminated, press breaker to reset.
AC IN LED only is illuminated when generator is being used.

SYSTEM INITIALIZATION AND CALIBRATION:

In order for the 

AES 

to operate properly and

at rated power, a minimum of 5 functioning 
Expander Pak 2400 batteries need to be connected to the PRO-Verter 7000.
    1.  Set Clock
            a. Rotate 

SELECT

 knob and press 

SELECT

 until proper time is programmed

     2. Test the PRO-Verter and Generator operation: 
            a.  Press 

CTRL

 button 

            b.  Rotate 

SELECT 

knob to 

�03 Gen Control�

 and press 

SELECT

            c.  Rotate 

SELECT 

knob until 

"Generator ON" 

appears on LCD and press 

SELECT

                     i.  �Remote Generator Start and Operation� sequence will begin (total process 
                        may take up to 3 minutes). 

NOTE:

 The Audible �Start-�arning� Alarms will 

                        sound when the PRO-Verter 7000 AGS is connected to an MEP-802A TQG. The 
                        alarm will last for 10 seconds before the motor cranks
                     ii.  Once the generator is operating, verify that the 

AC IN

 LED illuminates and that 

                         the LCD displays 

CHARGE MODE

 within 90 seconds

                     iii.  Verify that the generator stays operating for 5 minutes uninterrupted while the 
                         

CHARGE

 mode is operating

            d.  Press 

CTRL 

button and rotate 

SELECT

 knob to 

�03 Gen Control�

, press 

SELECT

            e.  Rotate 

SELECT

 knob until 

"Generator AUTO"

 appears on LCD, press 

SELECT

Initiali�ation complete � the generator will run until the batteries achieve full charge, and then 
auto-stop.  Normal cycling will begin with the generator operating only as necessary for 
continuity of operation (keeping the batteries charged and the load functioning).

LOAD SUPPORT MODE

Load Support function can be used to provide higher power for raising the RAID/PSS-G tower. 
In order for this function to work, the 

GEN CONTROL

 in the 

CTRL

 menu and the 

INVERTER

 

mode must both be set to 

ON

.  

                1.  Press 

CTRL 

button

                2.  Scroll to 

�03 Gen Control� 

and press the 

SELECT

 

                       a.  Rotate SELECT knob until 

ON

 appears on the LCD and press 

SELECT 

           

     3. Press 

INVERTER 

button to enable the inverter mode

Load Support function is now active. Deactivate 

�03 Gen Control� 

to disable Load Support.
