60 fault codes documented

1

Hardware fault

This fault indicates a general internal hardware malfunction within the device. This type of fault typically implies a component failure or significant internal system anomaly, preventing normal operation.

102

AC voltage too high

The AC voltage from the public grid is detected as excessively high. The inverter temporarily disconnects from the grid and will resume feeding energy once grid conditions return to the permissible range.

103

AC voltage too low

The AC voltage from the public grid is detected as too low. The inverter temporarily disconnects from the grid and will resume feeding energy once grid conditions return to the permissible range.

105

AC frequency too high

The AC grid frequency is detected as excessively high. The inverter temporarily disconnects from the grid according to safety standards and will resume operation once the frequency returns to the permissible range.

106

AC frequency too low

The AC grid frequency is detected as too low. The inverter temporarily disconnects from the grid according to safety standards and will resume operation once the frequency returns to the permissible range.

107

No AC grid

No AC grid connection is detected by the inverter. This prevents the inverter from feeding energy into the grid.

108

Stand-alone operation detected

The inverter has detected an unintentional stand-alone operation (island mode), meaning it is operating independently from the main grid. This is typically a safety mechanism to prevent unsynchronized grid reconnection.

143

Emergency power overload

The emergency power mode has detected an overload and has been interrupted. The inverter will attempt to restart emergency power mode up to three times. If these attempts are unsuccessful, status code 145 will be displayed.

144

Emergency power short-circuit

A short-circuit has been detected in the emergency power circuit. This will interrupt emergency power mode and prevent its operation.

145

Status code 143 or 144 has occurred more than three times

This status code indicates that either an emergency power overload (143) or an emergency power short-circuit (144) has occurred more than three times. This points to a persistent issue with the emergency power circuit that requires attention.

2

EEROM fault

An EEROM (Electrically Erasable Read-Only Memory) fault indicates an issue with the non-volatile memory used for storing configuration or operational data. This can lead to incorrect settings or failure to store critical operational parameters, potentially affecting system stability.

3

Internal memory error

This fault signifies an error within the device's internal memory system. This could be related to RAM or other internal storage, impacting program execution and data processing, potentially leading to system instability or crashes.

303

DC module overtemperature (PV)

An overtemperature condition has been detected in the DC module associated with the PV system. This causes a short-term interruption in grid feed-in as the inverter attempts to restart its operation.

306

Not enough PV power or no battery power requested

There is insufficient PV power available for feeding energy into the grid, and simultaneously, no power has been requested from the battery. This results in a short-term interruption while the inverter repeats its start-up routine. This is often displayed routinely early morning or evening due to low insolation and may not indicate a fault.

307

DC low (PV input voltage too low)

The DC input voltage from the PV system is too low for feeding energy into the grid. This causes a short-term interruption as the inverter repeats its start-up routine. This is often displayed routinely early morning or evening due to low insolation and may not indicate a fault.

313

Battery input voltage too high

The battery input voltage has exceeded its permissible limits, leading to a short-term interruption of energy feeding into the grid. The inverter will attempt to restart its routine, and this code can occur sporadically without a persistent fault.

324

DC module overtemperature (battery)

An overtemperature condition has been detected in the DC module associated with the battery. This causes a short-term interruption in grid feed-in as the inverter attempts to restart its operation.

4

Fieldbus hardware fault

This fault indicates a hardware problem with the fieldbus communication interface. This affects the device's ability to communicate over the fieldbus network, preventing data exchange with other connected systems or controllers.

417

This code indicates either a compatibility error, such as after a PC board replacement, or an invalid configuration of the power stage set. This prevents the inverter from feeding energy into the grid.

457

Grid relay is sticking or neutral conductor ground voltage too high

The inverter is unable to feed energy into the grid due to either a sticking grid relay or an excessively high neutral conductor ground voltage. The neutral conductor ground voltage must be less than 30V for safe operation.

480

Functional incompatibility (PC boards)

This fault indicates that one or more PC boards in the inverter are not compatible with each other, often due to a replacement of a PC board. This prevents the inverter from feeding energy into the grid.
