5.1.1 LED Indicators
There are four LED indicators on the front panel that light solid or blink to indicate the inverter/
charger’s status. When the router is fi rst powered-up, all the LEDs come on as it goes through a self-
test (see Section 3.1). Once the self-test is complete, the LEDs and the LCD provide the operating
status of the inverter/charger. See Section 5.1.1 for more information on the LED indicators.
5.1.2 LCD Display
The LCD display is used for setting up the system operation, as well as viewing current system
operating status and fault conditions. This display has four lines of alphanumeric characters and
features a backlight that can be set to turn off to conserve power.
• Top line: provides the inverter/charger status, or system status (which is detailed in this section).
• Second line: displays accessory/device status, or battery information when using the METER
