Fault Mode Messages

The FAULT LED comes on and a fault status is displayed when an abnormal condition is detected.

Use this section to identify and correct the issue.

Info: Many of the faults automatically clear once the fault is resolved. Some will require

a manual restart. This requires the ON/OFF INVERTER button on the router to be pressed

and released. Finally, if the fault will not clear, an inverter reset (see Section 6.2) or

power-down (see Section 6.3) may be required.

System Fault Messages

These fault messages are usually caused by an external issue that directly affects the inverter/

charger system.

AC Backfeed appears on the LCD and the FAULT (red)

LED is on. The PWR (green), CHG (green), and INV

(green) LEDs are off.

AC Backfeed

Settings/Info...

Figure 5-29, AC Backfeed Mode

• AC Backfeed (Backfeed) – This fault message causes the inverter to shut down because

AC voltage from an external AC source has been detected on the inverter’s AC output. When the

unit shuts down because of this fault condition, an inverter reset or power-down will be required

to resume operation (see Sections 6.2 & 6.3).

Remedy: This fault usually occurs because the inverter’s AC output wiring is connected

to the incoming AC source (either hardwired or through a switch/breaker). When this

fault happens, all system wiring should be re-checked to ensure the incoming hot and/

or neutral wires are not in some way connected to the AC output.

AC Overload

Settings/Info...

AC Overload appears on the LCD and the FAULT (red)

LED is on. The PWR (green), CHG (green), and INV

(green) LEDs are off.

Figure 5-30, AC Overload Fault

• AC Overload (AC OverL) – This fault message displays when the AC load on the inverter/

charger’s output has exceeded the inverter’s AC current protection limits. If the overload condition

lasts for less than 10 seconds, the unit will automatically restart and resume operation. However, if

the overload occurs for more than 10 seconds, the unit will shut down and require a manual restart.

Remedy: This fault occurs because the connected AC loads are larger than inverter’s

output capacity, there is a wiring short on the output, or the output wires are incorrectly

installed. Once the AC loads are reduced or the output wiring is corrected, the inverter

can be restarted after a manual restart.
