following functions:
•Inverter Power: Use the toggle button to turn the
inverter on or off. The Operating Mode indicator
displays the operating mode of the inverter:
– Battery mode indicates that the inverter is running
and supplying AC power to the loads from battery.
– Grid mode indicates that the inverter is charging the
battery with AC voltage from shore power, but it's
bypassing the inverter supply of AC power to the
loads directly from the shore power.
– Off appears when the inverter is either off, or it is in
an error, fault, or warning state.
•Battery: These indicators provide voltage readings for
the chassis (engine) and house (coach) batteries,
respectively.
•Load Wattage: This indicator displays the power
consumed by the load from the inverter when in
battery mode.
•Charger Stage: This indicator shows the charger
status of the onboard charger, as described in the
following table:
•Charger Current: This indicator shows the current
that the charger is drawing from shore power.
•AC Input Current: This indicator shows the input
current being drawn from shore power.
•AC Load Current: This indicator shows the current
that the loads are drawing directly from shore power,
bypassing the inverter.
•Generator: These options control both input and
output, so you can monitor and control the onboard
generator:
– The hours indicator shows the number of hours that
the generator has run.
– The status indicator shows the state of the
generator, as described in the following table:
IIf the inverter is in an error, fault, or warning state,
the error code will be indicated on the inverter
LCD screen.
Number Status Description
0 Disabled The charger is disabled.
1 Not
Charging
The charger is enabled, but it is not
charging (typically due to a lack of
AC power).
2 Bulk The charger is in the initial stage of
the three-stage charging cycle.
3 Absorption The charger is in the second stage of
the three-stage charging cycle.
4 Over
Charge
The charger is over-charging the bat-
teries (this status is rare).
5 Equalize The charger is equalizing the
batteries.
6 Float The charger is in the third stage of
the three-stage charging cycle.
7 Constant
Voltage
The charger is providing constant
voltage charging (typically used
during single-stage charging cycles).

1 Pre-Heat The generator is preheat-
ing. This is done prior to
the cranking cycle.
2 Cranking The generator is starting.
3 Running The generator is running.
4 Priming The generator is advanc-
ing fuel.
5 Fault There is a fault.

the generator. Tap the START button to start the
generator. The status changes to Cranking, and then
to Running. A pop-up message should also appear.
8 Ventilation Alert
•AGS: The Automatic Generator Start (AGS) indicator
shows the status of the auto generator, which can be
either ON or OFF.
There is also a CLEAR AGS button; when external
activity is detected, tap this button to override the
external activity demand and turn the AGS on.
External activity is a mechanism used to disable the
AGS if the generator is manually stopped or started.
This is a safety feature implemented so that if you
manually stop the generator, the AGS system does not
attempt to start it up again. External activity can also
trigger on coach movement or ignition.
The Power screen also has a settings icon that you can tap
to reach the Advanced Inverter Settings screen.
