MATE SCREENS
Status Screens
The STATUS screens allow the system user to check the operation of the FX system. Both AC and DC voltage and AC current meters
are provided to enable monitoring, adjustment and troubleshooting of the system operation.
MODES MENU
The MODES section lets the user view and change the various modes for a specific FX by pressing the PORT button to access a
specific FX. The modes include inverter, ac in, charger, auxiliary, and equalize. The operation of these modes can be changed by
selecting the
CHANGE MODE option on the screen. This is helpful if the user wishes to quickly enable or disable a particular function
of a specific FX if necessary. If the system is “OutBack” stacked, only the Master’s modes, with the exception of the “Aux”, can be
changed.
