Setup
3.2.2
CTRL (Control) Button and Menus
The CTRL button accesses the
01
ACIn Control
,
02
CHG Control
,
03
Gen Control
and
04 PT Con-
trol
menus.
Info:
An AGS controller or PT charge controller must be connected in order for those
device-speci
fi
c menus under the
03
Gen Control
or
04 PT Control
settings to display,
respectively—unless the
TECH: 07 Show all Menus
menu has been set to “
YES
”. Refer
to Section 3.2.5 for more information on the
TECH 07
menu. Otherwise, “
No AGS
Present
” appears on the
03 Gen Control
screen and “
No PT Present
” appears on the
04
PT Control
screen when you press the SELECT knob from these menus.
The CTRL button gives you quick control of some of the main functions of the inverter/charger
without having to access the SETUP button’s menus in order to change the operation of the in-
verter/charger (generator and charge controller also if connected). Once the settings have been
programmed in the SETUP menus, the features can then be enabled using the CTRL button.
Example:
The
SETUP: 02C AC In - Time
setting is used to set what time of day (e.g., 12AM to
8AM) you want the inverter to connect to the incoming AC. Once the time is set, use the CTRL
button to access the
Set
ACIn Control
menu item and select
Time Connect
. When
Time Connect
is selected, the inverter/charger will only connect to AC when the time is between 12AM and 8AM.
Info:
If a ME-ARC remote is connected to a parallel system with a ME-RTR, it acts like a
‘display only’ device with limited user controls. When the ME-ARC is directly connected
to either the inverter or ME-RTR, the CTRL button function of the ME-ARC is defeated.
The ME-ARC however, does contain the
03 Gen Control
selection in the FAVS menu.
The generator can be controlled via the ME-ARC through the FAVS menu, but not
through the CTRL menu.
