MENU SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The operation of the inverter is determined by the settings in the menu system. The menu system is
divided into a USER MENU and a SETUP MENU. Each of the menu systems is divided into MENU
HEADINGS and MENU ITEMS. The menu headings break the menu into groups of related menu items.
At the menu item level a setting can be adjusted, a mode can be selected or information can be
displayed. When a number is included with the graphic of the menu heading or menu item in this manual,
the value shown is the default value and is for a 12-volt domestic model (120VAC/60Hz) inverter. For 24-
volt systems, multiply the DC settings shown by 2.
• The USER MENU provides the controls and settings needed on a daily basis. It allows you to turn on
the inverter and generator, read the AC and DC meters, check on an error cause and even adjusts
the inverter’s time clock.
• The SETUP MENU provides all of the settings required to configure the inverter to operate in the
necessary modes for your installation. They are separated from the USER MENU to reduce
tampering and simplify the daily operation of the inverter.
The PS Series Inverter/Charger MENU SYSTEM can ONLY be accessed and adjusted by using a SWRC
Remote Control or SWCA Communications Adapter (see OPTIONS on page 127 for more information on
the SWCA). The SWRC enables you to configure the inverter/charger to your specific system and
preferences using the menu system available in your unit. The information in the Menu System section is
based on using the SWRC. However, when the SWRC is mentioned the SWCA may be used instead.
The MENU MAP shown on the next two pages give a visual indication of each display available when
using the SWRC. It is provided to help you navigate through the different Menu Headings and Menu
Items.
