Clearing Faults Manually

Clearing Faults Manually

Faults associated with a grid disturbance clear automatically. These faults include:

0010 (AC Frequency Low),

0011 (AC Frequency High),

0012 AC Voltage Low), and

0013 (AC Voltage High) only.

Once the AC voltage and frequency return to within the acceptable range, the PV225S will clear the fault and automatically restart after a 5-minute delay. All other faults associated with the PV225S must be circumvented and cleared manually using the UFCU.The following procedure describes how to manually clear a fault message from the LCD.

To clear the fault:

1.Determine the source of the fault using Table 4-1, “Fault Codes” on page 4–4. Correct the fault condition.

2.Ensure the fault code and “Clear Fault?” message is displayed in the LCD.

a)If the “Clear Fault?” message is not shown on the second line of the LCD, scroll through the read parameter menu with the /\ or \/ keys until the message appears.

3.To clear the fault, press <ENTER>. The PV225S will transition to Sleeping mode.
