Fault Code VFD Text Fault Description
8000 0000 Power Module Generated by the power electronics to protect the switching module.
4000 0000 Power Module Generated by the power electronics to protect the switching module.
1000 0800 PLL Fault
The inverter was unable to match the grid frequency. This is usually caused
by an unstable power grid.
1000 0400 AC Voltage High The grid voltage exceeded the limits in Table 3-2.
1000 0200 AC Voltage Low The grid voltage dipped below the AC limits in Table 3-2.
1000 0100 AC Freq Low The grid frequency went below the limits in Table 3-2.
1000 0080 AC Freq High The grid frequency went above the limits in Table 3-2.
1000 0020 DC Voltage Low The DC voltage is below the startup voltage.
1000 0010 DC Voltage High DC voltage is above upper operating limit 450V.
1000 0002 Power Supply +15 Housekeeping DC power supply 15VDC is out of tolerance.
1000 0001 Power Supply +5 Housekeeping DC power supply 5VDC is out of tolerance.
0400 0000 Ground Fault The inverter detected a blown GFI fuse.
0200 0000 Power Low
The inverter shut down because it was producing less than 60W for 5
minutes.
0100 0000 CPU Fault The inverter encountered a problem in the CPU.
0040 0000 Over Current Safety protection. The inverter encountered an over-current fault.
0020 0000 Pre-charge The inverter experienced trouble energizing the transformer.
0004 0000 Heatsink Temp The heat sink is above or below the operating limits of -25oC to 95oC.
0002 0000 Watchdog Fault The CPU experienced a watch-dog fault.
0001 0000 Ambient Temp
The temperature detected inside the inverter is outside the normal operating
limits of -25oC to 95oC.
Table 5-1 Fault Codes
The following fault codes indicate the inverter will restart once conditions are within normal
operating conditions listed in Appendix A, Table A: 1000 0400, 1000 0200, 1000 0100,
1000 0080, 1000 0020, 1000 0010, 1000 0002, 1000 0001, 0200 0000, 0004 0000, and 0001
0000.
If the following fault codes occur, please contact PV Powered Technical Support for
service: 8000 0000, 4000 0000, 1000 0800, 0400 0000, 0100 0000, 0040 0000, 0020 0000,
and 0002 0000.
