When the system enable switch is placed in the on position,
the Startup Screen appears. Figure 6-2 shows the factory
default startup screen. (The startup screen can be config-
ured to display other information.) The factory default
startup screen displays the following information:
n Fuel Percentage - The first line indicates the percentage
of battery capacity (fuel) that is presently available.
n Load Percentage - The second line indicates the percent-
age of system capacity that is being used to supply con-
ditioned power to the load equipment.
n Voltage and Input Frequency - The third line indicates
the input (mains) power voltage, the output voltage sup-
plied to the load equipment, and the voltage frequency
of the input (mains) power.
n Run Time - The fourth line indicates the run time that
can be expected. The intelligence module determines
the run time based on the amount of power required by
the load equipment, and the power capacity of the bat-
tery modules in the Power Array frame.
Note: The PowerView interface will time out after ten min-
utes of inactivity, and the message on the LCD display will dis-
appear. The message will reappear when any navigation key is
touched.

screen contains seven menu items, and a context sensitive help
function. See figure 6-3.
Fig 6-3 Top-Level Menu Screen
The top-level menu screen is similar to a menu bar at the top
of a computer interface. Selecting any of the seven menu
items, and pressing the enter key opens a sub-menu. The
functions of these seven menu items are outlined below.
Note: Many of the following PowerView functions are explained
and demonstrated in Chapter 7.
