Normal Operation Mode
The LCD on the GT Inverter is refreshed every two seconds, so all readings are
current to within two seconds. There is a default display available at all times, and
a series of additional screens that can be displayed by tapping the front panel to
change the display.
Normal Operation
default display After the protection timer has completed its countdown and during normal
operation, the GT Inverter displays the normal operation message screen shown in
Table 5-2.
If there is sufficient energy from the PV array, this screen is displayed
continuously while the system is operating normally. In a multiple unit system
connected by network cables, the power and cumulative energy values displayed
are for the entire system.
During low light conditions when the GT Inverter cannot produce any power, the
Normal Operation default screen flashes alternately (every two seconds) with the
Insufficient Solar Energy screen (see Table 5-10, “Special Message Screens” on
page 5–10).
More screens for all
systems Besides the default normal operation display, more system information messages
can be viewed.
To view more Normal Operation information:
• Tap the front panel to advance the display to the next screen. Normal
operation screens shown in Table 5-3 are displayed in the order given, as you
tap successively on the unit. They are common to all GT Inverter systems, no
matter how many units are installed.
If you continue to tap the unit, then the LCD continues to cycle through all of the
available normal operation screens. Each screen is displayed for a maximum of
30 seconds. If you do not tap again during that time period, then the LCD
backlight turns off and the display reverts to the default system message screen.
