Operational status (display)
The inverter's operational statuses are shown on the inverter's display:
INFO

The user interface/menu items in the inverter depend on the software installed in the inverter and may differ from the description here.
1 | Display area, information and inverter status displayed |
The following table explains the operational notifications that can appear on the display:
Symbol | Display | Explanation |
---|---|---|
--- | Off | Input voltage on the DC side (photovoltaic modules) is too low or inverter switched off. |
| Bell symbol | An event is present. Remedial measures can be found in the chapter Event codes. The event can be queried in the inverter menu by going to Service > Event list or can be viewed using the Down arrow key. |
| Software update symbol | There is a software update available for the inverter. The software update process can be started in the inverter menu under Service > Updates or via the inverter. |
| Globe symbol | Shows a successful connection to the solar portal. |
| Wifi icon | Displays the Wifi connection status. |
Display | Explanation |
---|---|
Shutdown by ext. signal | The feed-in is shut down as a result of an external signal from the energy supply company. |
Starting | Internal control measurements according to VDE 0126 |
Starting, including check of DC generators | Device performs an internal check |
Equalisation charge (only with battery connected) | The battery which is connected to the inverter is charged from the public grid using an equalisation charge. It can only be activated with installer access via the service menu. |
Battery sleep mode (only with battery connected) | If the battery charging status falls below the min. SoC (e.g. 5% for BYD batteries), the battery sleep mode status is displayed and the battery is disconnected from the system. Sleep mode is exited as soon as the battery can be charged with excess power. If the SoC of the battery falls below the minimum allowed SoC, the battery receives a trickle charge of x% of the total battery capacity from the grid to protect the battery. Trickle charge: 5% trickle charge the first time the SoC falls below the permitted value. 10% trickle charge the second time the SoC falls below the permitted value. 15% trickle charge the third time the SoC falls below the permitted value. Once sleep mode has been exited, the next trickle charge starts again with +5 %. |
DC voltage too low | Electronics are ready for operation, DC voltage is still too low for feed-in. |
Feed in | Measurement successful, MPP control active (MPP = maximum power point) |
Feed-in ext. regulated | The feed-in is limited due to a fault (e.g. PV energy is restricted, Active power control, too high temperature, fault) |
Event xxxx, yyyy | An event is present. Up to two active events can be displayed. Remedial measures can be found in the chapter Event codes. |
Ext. battery control active (only with battery connected) | The battery is controlled by an external management system. Ch. 8.1 |
DC check | There may be several causes for this message, e.g.:
As soon as the checks prove positive, the inverter feeds in again. |
IP address | Inverter IP address |
Insulation measurement | Device performs an internal check |
Grid check | Device performs an internal check |
Service charging (only with battery connected) | The battery which is connected to the inverter is charged from the public grid using an equalisation charge. It must be activated via the service menu. It can only be activated with installer access via the service menu. |
Deep discharge protection (only with battery connected) | The battery which is connected to the inverter is charged from the public grid using an equalisation charge. |
Impermissible DC voltage | DC voltage still too high. |
Commutation detection | As soon as the inverter has been activated on the AC side, the DC strings are checked for commutation. All DC inputs are checked in the process. Once the check has been run without any errors, the message disappears. For the check to be run, there must be sufficient power at the DC strings (0.3 A). The DC input of the battery and all PV inputs are checked. During the check, only the DC connection that is being checked is active. The other DC connections are deactivated until the check is complete. Therefore, the PV strings may be deactivated for longer if the irradiation is very low, until all the inputs have been checked. |
Waiting time ... | The device is not feeding into the public grid due to an event. Grid synchronisation: The inverter synchronizes itself with the public grid and feeds in. Grid check: A grid check is carried out. Grid error: There is an error in the public grid. As soon as this is rectified, the inverter feeds in again. Overheating: The inverter’s temperature is too high. As soon as this has fallen, the inverter feeds in again. |
