Additional
messages for
multiple unit
systems only In addition, to the normal system message screens, additional screens specific to
each GT Inverter unit can be displayed when the unit is networked to other GT
Inverters. These screens are only available on multiple unit systems.
To view unit-specific screens in a multiple unit system:
1. Tap the Xantrex logo near the LCD to advance the display to the next screen.
Continue tapping until the final system message screen (“Grid Readings”, in
Table 5-3 above) is displayed.
2. Tap again. Normal operation screens shown in Table 5-4 are displayed in the
order given, as you tap successively on the unit.
If you continue to tap the unit, then the LCD will cycle through all of the available
normal operation screens. Each message is displayed for up to 30 seconds. If you
do not tap again within that time period, then the LCD backlight turns off and the
display reverts to the default normal operation screen (Table 5-2).
Offline Mode
Offline default
display At night and when no power is being produced by the PV array (offline mode), the
GT Inverter displays the screen shown in Table 5-5.
Offline messages
for all systems Additional message screens can be viewed when the system is offline by tapping
the Xantrex logo near the LCD. Each additional tap displays the next screen, in
the order shown in Table 5-6.
* In a multiple unit system with communications cables properly installed, the
system values displayed are for the entire system. For example, in a
two-inverter system, if inverter #1 is producing 1500 W and inverter #2 is
producing 2000 W, both inverters display a total system power of 3500 W.
Time online and array readings are for the local inverter and PV array
associated with that inverter.
