Additional Fault
messages for all
systems

Additional message screens can be viewed in fault mode by tapping the Xantrex
logo near the LCD. Each additional tap displays the next screen in the order
shown in Table 5-9.

* It is normal to receive this fault during low light conditions at dawn or dusk. At

such times, the array does not have sufficient energy to power the inverter, so
the PV voltage drops below 240 volts occasionally.

† Grid fault. When this fault is cleared the protection timer will begin its

countdown and you will see the “Reconnecting in sss seconds” and “Inverter
Offline” special screens (see Table 5-10) flashing alternately until the
countdown is complete.

* In a multiple unit system with network cables installed, the system values

displayed are for the entire system. Time online and array readings are for the
local inverter and PV array associated with that inverter.
