MATE SCREENS 
WARNING MENU 
The WARNINGS section of the STATUS menu allows the user to check the cause of a warning condition for the FX.  When a warning 
condition has occurred, the red “ERROR” LED indicator in the FX’s wiring compartment will flash. The cause of the warning will not be 
displayed on the MATE like an ERROR will.  Instead, you must access this WARNINGS menu and scroll down the list to find out which 
warning is present.  This is indicated by the presence of a “YES” next to the appropriate cause listed. Once the cause for the warning is 
no longer present, the display will change back to “NO” as shown below and the red LED will stop flashing.  A warning will not shut the 
FX down like an error will.

AC IN FREQUENCY TOO HIGH
 indicates that the AC input connected to the FX is above the upper 
limit of its frequency window and will not connect to the AC source if the frequency stays this high.  If 
the frequency of the AC source is above 66 Hz, the FX will display this warning. 
AC IN FREQUENCY TOO LOW
 indicates that the AC input connected to the FX is below the lower 
limit of its frequency window and will not connect to the AC source if the frequency stays this low.  If 
the frequency of the AC source is below 54 Hz, the FX will display this warning. 
AC IN VOLTAGE TOO HIGH
 indicates that the AC source’s voltage is over the upper limit (default 
is 140 VAC) of the FX’s voltage window.  The FX will not connect to the AC source until the voltage 
drops below the upper limit.
AC IN VOLTAGE TOO LOW
 indicates that the AC source’s voltage is below the lower limit (default 
is 108 VAC) of the FX’s voltage window.  The FX will not connect to the AC source until the voltage 
rises above the lower limit. 
AC INPUT CURRENT EXCEEDS MAX
 indicates that the AC loads are drawing more current than 
the AC INPUT LIMIT of the FX is programmed for.  Exceeding this current limit for an extended 
period of time could cause the FX to fail, a generator to disconnect or a breaker to trip.  Reduce the 
loads on the FX’s AC output to prevent damage and, for Mobile versions of the FX, make sure a 
30A breaker (maximum) is used on the AC input line.   
TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAULT
 indicates that one of the temperature sensors internally located 
in the FX is not working correctly.  The FX needs to be checked by a qualified repair technician.  
The AIRTEMP, FETTEMP and CAPTEMP screens shown below can help with troubleshooting. 
INTERNAL COMMUNICATION ERROR DETECTED
 indicates that a communication problem has 
occurred between the MATE and the FX.  This warning may occur if the communication lines 
between the FX and the MATE have been severed or disconnected.  If this is the case, connect a 
working cable and perform a “Re-Poll” of the system using the MATE.  See the MATE manual for 
instructions.  If this does not solve the problem, call your dealer for assistance. 
INTERNAL FAN FAILURE DETECTED
 warns that the fan mounted above the transformer inside 
the FX has stopped working or is not functioning properly.  This will eventually cause an INVERTER 
OVERTEMP error if the cause of the fan failure is not fixed.  Restart the FX and listen for the fan to 
verify a fan failure.  The fan should run for about 15 seconds on start-up. 
AIRTEMP
 shows a numerical value that the FX understands as a temperature.  The value comes 
from a sensor inside the FX that measures the temperature of the air (or transformer, depending 
upon the FX’s serial number).  This warning is given for troubleshooting purposes. 
FETTEMP
 shows a numerical value that the FX understands as a temperature.  The value comes 
from a sensor inside the FX that measures the temperature of the FETs (Field Effect Transistors).  
This warning is given for troubleshooting purposes. 
CAPTEMP
 shows a numerical value that the FX understands as a temperature.  The value comes 
from a sensor inside the FX that measures the temperature of the ripple capacitors.  This warning is 
given for troubleshooting purposes. 
Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the STATUS/FX/WARN menu section.  Selecting 
STATUS returns to the STATUS screen to allow selection of another product.
