Troubleshooting

Table 8 Stop Sell (and Charge) Reasons

8

The inverter has been commanded to disconnect from the AC source by the user or by a

programmed setting. It cannot charge or sell.

 

 

 

9

The inverter has detected an “island” condition. The AC source frequency is unstable. The inverter

cannot sell.

 

 

 

10

The inverter has lost synchronization with the AC source. This is usually the result of a rapidly-

changing frequency. The inverter cannot sell.

 

 

 

11

The inverter went into an overcurrent condition while attempting to sell. This is usually caused by

incorrect wiring, incorrect programming, or an unstable AC source.

 

The inverter's battery voltage sensor has detected an inappropriate voltage (> 17 or < 2 Vdc in a

1212-volt system), and the inverter cannot sell. This is an internal voltage measurement which may indicate a failure. The inverter may require service.

13

The AC2 (generator) input has been selected. The battery voltage is above the target point (see

page 24), but the inverter cannot sell to the AC2 input.

 

14

The sell function has been manually turned off. The battery voltage is above the target point (see

page 24), but the inverter is prevented from selling.

 

The inverter has been designated as OB Slave L1 and is under direct control of the master inverter.

15It will display this code regardless of conditions. To determine its status, check the “Stop Sell Reason” on the master.

16

The inverter’s Input Support feature is operating (see page 17). It cannot charge or sell while

supporting.

 

The charger has been turned off. The battery voltage is below the inverter’s target voltage for the

17current stage of operation (absorption, float, etc.). The charger programming recognizes the need to finish the cycle, but is disabled.

18

The battery voltage is below all the inverter’s target voltages for charging stages, but has not fallen

to the Refloat or Rebulk voltages.

 

The battery voltage is exactly equal to the inverter’s target voltage for the current stage of

19operation (absorption, float, sell, etc.). When the inverter achieves its target voltage, no more work (charging or selling) is required. The inverter has gone silent.
