The 

“Series E”, “Series IE” and “Series EM” RS-232 protocol uses carriage returns (‘\r’, ANSI 

code 0x0D), but does 

not

 

use line feeds (‘\n’, ANSI code 0x0A). If you are manually typing 

commands, some terminal emulator software will automatically feed the line back when you press 
enter (and a carriage return is sent) and when the inverter responds (with a response string 
followed by a carriage return). However, some terminal emulator software will not do this, and you 
will end up with something like the following which is difficult to read: 

CMD> setpoint 
             lvac:   108.0 off 
                              hvac:  

132.0 off 

                                                nlbatt:  111.0 off 
                                                                  lb 
att:  

105.0 off 

                  htemp:    45.0 off 
                                    lrc:         0.0 off 

 
If this is the case, look for the setting in your terminal emulator software that automatically 
appends line feeds after (outgoing or incoming) carriage returns. 
 
When the inverter is 

not

 in 

‘shell mode’, it will 

not

 echo back characters you type (even though it 

is indeed receiving them). To see what you are typing when the inverter is not in 

‘shell mode’, turn 

on the 

‘local echo’ setting on your terminal emulator.  

 
When the inverter 

is

 in 

‘shell mode’, it 

will

 echo back characters you type. You will want to turn 

off the ‘local echo’ setting on your terminal emulator, or you will see doubles of every character as 
you type. 
 
***  Always use lower case letters for communication unless noted otherwise.*** 

 
 

COMMANDS 

 

Shell Command

 

 
To be able to use the commands below, the inverter must be in 

‘shell mode’. To enter ‘shell 

mode’, simply type “shell” (without quotation marks) and press enter. If it doesn’t work, you might 
have mistyped it, or the inverter may have received some characters before you even started. If 
this is the case, just t

ype “shell” again and press enter. 

 
Remember that lower case letters must be used. Upper Case characters are ignored! 
 
When in ‘shell mode’, the inverter will return a command prompt (CMD>) each time you press 
enter. Once this command prompt (CMD

>) 

appears, the inverter is ready to receive another 

command.
