Pressing the AC IN key a second time brings up the GEN START CONTROL screen.
This screen allows the user to change the Advanced Generator Start (AGS) mode.
Modes can only be changed when Advanced Generator Start is enabled (See section
4.3 Advanced Generator Start for more information). When an OutBack HUB is
employed, the
GEN START CONTROL only effects the FX that has been programmed
as the AGS PORT in the AGS menu.

Pressing the
AC IN key a third time brings up the CHARGER CONTROL screen. This
allows operation of the battery charger to be preset for when an AC source is
available. The charger’s operation is independent of the inverter: you can set the
charger to come on when AC is available but have the inverter stay off when AC is
disconnected. When an OutBack HUB is employed, the
CHARGER CONTROL only
effects the Master FX connected to PORT 1. The Master then echoes the command to
all of its slaves.
<OFF> Disables all charger functions in the FX
<AUTO> Enables automatic battery charging when an AC input source is
connected

Pressing
<BULK> brings up the BULK CONTROL screen, it will allow the user to start
and/or stop a bulk charge cycle manually by pressing <START> or <STOP>
respectively.
Pressing
<EQ> brings up the EQUALIZE CONTROL screen.
When the
<START> has been selected, two informational screen are displayed. The
user then must answer
<YES> before an equalize charging cycle is allowed to begin.
Once the equalizing process has started, you can stop it at anytime by selecting
<STOP> from this same control screen.
NOTE: For a global charger command to work, all of the OutBack products must be connected to a HUB. The
CHARGER MODE CONTROL
effects both FX inverters and MX60 charge controllers. This requires that
the FX and MX firmware versions support this feature (See section
7.0 Troubleshooting if this command
fails to function).
DANGER: You must
see "ON" in this
window or problems
will occur
