LOCATION
—the top line, STATUS/FX/METER-----P01 (the HUB’s first Port) indicates
STATUS then FX then METER have been selected from the MAIN screen. Pressing the
<DOWN> or <UP> soft keys displays the different METER screens. Pressing the <PORT>
soft key advances the Port number if there are other devices connected to the HUB. If no
HUB is present, this will read “P00”.
t
LABEL
—the screen’s left side shows a condition, system feature, or measurable event. If the
text forms too long a statement across the screen, the words will be stacked one above the
other such as “output voltage” above. When misread, it’s viewed as “output…122 vac…
voltage” when in fact this screen is stating the output voltage is 122 VAC.
t
VALUE SETTING
—the right side of this screen states the output voltage at 122 VAC. Some
screens allow adjustment of this value setting when appropriate.
t
SOFT KEYS
—the bottom line, DOWN UP TOP PORT, are the soft key commands which
facilitate either a change of screens in the METER menu using <DOWN>, <UP> or
<TOP> soft keys or a change of HUB ports using the <PORT> soft key.
In other cases, a MATE navigation screen leads to a screen that can require a user’s action.
The screen below, for instance, asks you to choose a category—HBX, GRIDUSE, AGS, or
ADV. Once chosen, you often are given the choice to change or alter part of your system’s
functioning, such as the voltage level the batteries must drop to before automatically
recharging or the times the generator runs.
On All Screens:
t
Lowercase letters normally show a condition or system item that can be altered or
otherwise adjusted.
t
Uppercase letters identify a screen’s name or indicate a step to follow to arrive at a screen
with these values.
