Trouble Shooting

In  most  situations,  the  Inverter  requires  very  little  service.  However,  if  Inverter  is  not 
able  to  work  perfectly,  please  refer  to  the  following  instructions  before  calling  your 

local dealer.
Should any problems arise, the LED on the front panel will be red and the LCD displays 

the relevant information. Please refer to the following for a list of potential problems 

and their solutions.

SYSTEM FAULT

Ground I Fault

Isolation Fault

Grid Fault

1. The ground current is too high.
2. Unplug the inputs from the PV generator and check the peripheral AC system.
3. After the cause is cleared, re-plug the PV panel and check PV-Inverter status.
4. If the problem persists please call service.

1. Check the impedance is between PV (+) & PV (-) and the PV-Inverter is earthed. 
The impedance must be greater than 8M.
2. If the problem persists please call service.

1. Wait for 5 minutes, if the grid returns to normal, PV-Inverter automatically restarts.
2. Make sure grid voltage and frequency meet the specifications.
3. If the problem persists please call service.
4. Check grid usability.

No AC connection

1. Grid is not connected.
2. Check grid connection cables.

INVERTER FAILURE

PV Over Voltage

Consistent Fault

1.  Check  the  open  PV  voltage;  see  if  it  is  greater  than  or  too  close  to  450VDC.
2. If PV voltage is less than 450VDC, and the problem still occurs, please call local service.

1. Disconnect PV (+) or PV (-) from the input, restart the PV-Inverter.
2. If it does not work, call service.
If there is no display on the panel, please check PV-input connections. If the voltage is 

higher than 90V, call your local service.

During periods of little or no sunlight, the PV-Inverter may continuously start up and 

shut  down.  This  is  due  to  insufficient  power  generated  to  operate  the  control 

circuits.
