Front Panel Display Screens and What They Mean
975-0334-01-01 5–5
Additional screens
for multiple units In addition to the normal system message screens, additional screens specific to
each GT Inverter unit can be displayed when the unit is networked to other GT
Inverters. These screens are only available on multiple unit systems.
To view unit-specific screens in a multiple unit system:
1. Tap the inverter front panel to advance the display to the next screen.
Continue tapping until the final system message screen (“Grid Readings”, in
Table 5-3 above) is displayed.
2. Tap again. Normal operation screens shown in Table 5-4 are displayed in the
order given, as you tap successively on the unit.
If you continue to tap the unit, the LCD will cycle through all of the available
normal operation screens. Each message is displayed for up to 30 seconds. If you
do not tap again within that time period, then the LCD backlight turns off and the
display reverts to the default normal operation screen (Table 5-2).

* In a multiple unit system with network cables properly installed, the system
values displayed are for the entire system. For example, in a two-inverter
system, if inverter #1 is producing 1500 W and inverter #2 is producing
2000 W, both inverters display a total system power of 3500 W. Time online
and array readings are for the local inverter and PV array associated with that
inverter.
