The ERROR section allows the user to check the cause of an error condition.  When an error has occurred, the red error LED indicator 

in the FX’s wiring compartment will be illuminated (not to be confused with a blinking “ERROR” LED that indicates a WARNING). If an 

error occurs, the FX will cease operation and the MATE will display an error screen.  Pressing <VIEW ERROR> from this screen brings 

the user to the 1

st

 screen of a list of error causes that will be available by pressing the DOWN button.  The presence of the word “YES” 

to the right of the appropriate cause indicates that this error has occurred.  It is possible for multiple errors to occur simultaneously.  

Check every error condition to make sure.  An error can be cleared by pressing the <INV> button on the MATE and then turning the FX 

 and then <ON>.  The inverter automatically resets from over-temperature and low or high battery voltage conditions.

The MAIN screen is where the menu system starts.  The four words in the bottom line of the 
display correspond to the four buttons located below the display. The word in BOLD on the bottom 
line indicates the selection used to advance the display to the next screen.  Pressing the left two 
buttons simultaneously from anywhere in the menu will return you to this screen.

 indicates that the inverter was not able to maintain adequate AC 

output voltage (105 VAC or above) to power the loads connected. This is typically caused by the 
load demanding more power than the inverter is able to deliver.  

 indicates that a problem has occurred with the communication 

cabling between stacked FX’s, or if the FX’s are stacked incorrectly.  Check the stacking 
programming.  If this condition persists contact your dealer for servicing instructions.   

 indicates that the FX reached its maximum allowed operating temp. This 

can be caused by powering large AC loads or charging for too long.  It can also be caused by 
restricting the amount of air which is able to flow around the casting or operation in high temp 
environments.  The FX will automatically reset and resume operation once it cools down.   

 indicates that the battery voltage dropped below the LOW BATTERY 

CUT-OUT VOLTAGE set point (default of 10.5 volts for a 12 volt FX) for 5 minutes. The inverter 
will restart once the battery voltage exceeds the LOW BATTERY CUT-IN VOLTAGE set point 
(default of 12.5 volts for a 12 volt FX) for 10 minutes.   

 is not operational at this time.  If a ‘Yes’ accompanies this Error, please 

disregard and look for other error causes.   

 

 indicates that the battery voltage rose above the high battery voltage 

level (default of 20 volts for a 12 volt FX) for 10 seconds. The inverter will restart once the battery 
voltage drops below the high battery voltage (default of 20 volts for a 12 volt FX) for 1 second. 

   
AC OUTPUT SHORTED

 indicates that the inverter immediately reached its maximum current and 

shut down.  This is usually caused by a short circuit condition (hence the AC OUTPUT SHORTED 
label) but can also be caused by attempting to operate a load which far exceeds the inverter 
output capability.   

 indicates that another AC source of power was connected to the AC 

output of the FX. Usually this is an installation issue.  It often occurs when there is an X-240 
transformer in the system that hasn’t been installed properly.  Also, check that there are no 
connections between the AC input and AC output circuitry. 

Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the STATUS/FX/ERROR menu section.  Selecting 
STATUS returns to the first page of the STATUS screen.
