3.3.3 METER Button and Menus
The METER button gives you access to the various meters which help determine the status of the
inverter/charger and battery system.
Info: Depending on the inverter, some meter functions may not be accessible. Refer to
Appendix B for more information.
Info: The displays automatically return to the System Home screen fi ve minutes after
the last button push, except when using the METER button. Menus selected under the
METER button stay and do not return to the home screen, this is useful for displaying
commonly used meter readings.
Info: Pressing and holding down the METER button (~2 seconds) takes you back to the
System Home screen from any menu.

METER: 01 DC Meters
The DC Meters menus display battery voltage to the inverter and DC amps to/from the batteries.
Use these meters to monitor your battery bank.
• 01A DC Volts to Inv: This meter displays the battery voltage connected to each inverter. The
accuracy is ±1.5% with a 0.1 VDC resolution.
• 01B Inv/Chg DC Amps: This meter displays the inverter (–) or charger amps (+) and is
shown as a DC value. A negative number indicates the inverter is powering the inverter loads
and shows how much current is being removed from the battery (inverter amps). A positive
number indicates the amount of current delivered to the batteries (charger amps) from the
AC input source. This meter converts AC amps to display DC amps, so the accuracy below one
amp AC (~10 amps DC @ 12 VDC) is not detected. When the current in or out of the batteries
is greater than one amp AC, the accuracy of this meter is ±20%.
METER: 02 AC Meters
• 02A AC Output Volts: This meter displays the AC voltage at the inverter’s output terminals.
If inverting, the inverter’s output voltage is displayed. If in Standby mode, the voltage that is
passing through the inverter from the AC input source (i.e., grid or generator) is displayed.
MS-PAE Series (240 VAC output): Even though these inverters provide 240 volts, this meter
displays the AC output voltage as a nominal 120-volt value. It is calculated by adding the
voltage from each hot out (i.e., HOT 1 to NEUTRAL and HOT 2 to NEUTRAL) and dividing by two.
• 02B AC Output Hz: While inverting, this meter displays the output frequency of the inverter.
When in Standby mode, this meter displays the frequency of the incoming AC source
(i.e., grid or generator) that is passing through the inverter to the inverter’s output terminals.
The frequency value is shown in Hertz (Hz).
