VRM Overview icon meanings

Hi all,

I've noticed that one of my installations is showing up with a different icon to the others, it should be the same in every way (except the smart shunt stopped working recently) does anyone know what the different icons mean? I've attached a screen shot to illustrate what I'm talking about.screenshot-20220918-000549-vrm2.jpg

Usually the battery icon means loads are being run off the battery - no solar or not enough solar input.

The generator means loads are being supported by the input source labelled as the generator.

You will get. A Sun one as well if loads are being covered by solar. As shown by these two .. I switch off the PV ON 1.6KVA

Thanks, so that upside down battery looking thing is a generator icon? That's strange as there is no generator on any of my systems. I'll have to have a look into how its set up.

Yeah, you will have to check what is set as your input on the inverter. Under system setup

It's strange as all my systems are DC only, no inverters, no grid, no generators.

The inputs may be labelled as a generator on the gx. So check system setup tab on the gx and make sure they are set correctly.
