3.0 Setup
3.2.3 METER Button
Pressing the METER button gives you access to different meters, which helps
determine the status of the inverter/charger and battery system.
Info:
Some meter functions may not be accessible with older
inverter software. If some meters do not function check for current
inverter software.
Info:
All displays will automatically returns the “Home” screen 5
minutes after the
last button push;
unless you are on a display in
the METER menu where the screen will stay without returning to
the “Home” screen. This feature is useful for displaying commonly
used meter readings like SOC, where it is useful to see the battery
status “at a glance”.
01 DC Meters -
DC Meters display battery voltage, DC amps from the
inverter/charger and the time in charge mode. Use these meters to monitor
your battery bank.
01A DC Volts:
This menu provides the DC battery voltage. The DC:
V (Volts) display provides the voltage from the batteries connected to the
inverter. The DC: V accuracy is ±1.5% with a 0.1 VDC resolution.
01B DC Amps:
While inverting, the DC: A (Amps) displays a negative
number to show the battery current used by the inverter. If in charge
mode, the DCA (amps) displays a positive number to show the amount
of current delivered to the batteries. The accuracy of this display below
1 amp AC (~10 amps DC @ 12VDC) is not detected. When the current
in or out of the batteries is greater than 1 amp AC, the display accuracy
is ±20%.
01C Charge Time:
This meter reads whenever the charger is in the
Bulk or Absorb mode. The meter does not accumulate time when in
Float, Charger Standby, Full or Silent mode.
Info:
Once the charger leaves the absorption mode and enters the
“Final Charge Stage”, this timer is reset and will not accumulate until
the charger reenters the Bulk or Absorption charge mode.
