Power System Monitoring
The Status and Systems Report pages provide information about input and output power and the state of
the battery.
Status Page
The left side of the Status page provides digital information about the battery including battery voltage,
load current and the amount of charge that has been provided by the battery to the load since power has
been applied.
The status of the audible alarm is also indicated here. When the alarm is enabled an asterisk is displayed
at the lower left of the page. The asterisk is not shown when the audible alarm is disabled.
Two vertical bar graphs are displayed at the center of the status screen. These provide a view of the
battery state of charge and the instantaneous load current (see Figure 8).
The upper and lower voltage thresholds are also shown as the thicker bars at the top and bottom of the
voltage bar.

Battery voltage marker
The vertical position of the marker is from 10V
to 16V (illustration shows 13.61V).
Load current
The height of the bar graph indicates the
instantaneous current flowing to the load (full
scale =35A).
The right side of the Status page provides information about the solar panel performance.
See Figure 9 below for a brief description of the various fields.
