Battery connections
Verify the battery is properly connected and charged to
be able to recognize the solar inverter.
Battery over-
voltage protection
Battery over-voltage
Measure whether the battery voltage exceeds 60Vand
disconnect the photovoltaic array from and the power-
on.
Battery under-
voltage protection
Battery under-voltage
Wait until the battery is charged to return to above the
low voltage recovery voltage.
Fan failure
Check that the fan is not turning or is
blocked by something else.
If fan failure, contact Dehco. (See Must Read Before
Operating section on page 2)
Over-temperature
Protection
internal temperature of the unit is
too high and causes the unit to stop
charging and discharging
Normal charge and discharge control is restored when
the temperature of the equipment cools.
Overload
Protection
Too much load
* Reduce the use of electrical equipment
* Restart the solar inverter charger and load recovery
output
Inverter short-
circuit protection
Inverter protects and stops when
the external battery port is shorted
while the PV or AC is charging stop
* Disconnect or reduce any loads from the unit.
* Shut down the solar inverter charger and turn on
again to clear the error.
PV overvoltage
Check with the meter if the PV input
voltage is above the maximum
allowable input voltage of 145 V
Reduce the PV input voltage below the maximum
allowable input voltage of 145 V operating voltage.
Firefly multiplex control system
No battery data on
Firefly screen / 0%
SOC
The battery has a fault
* Observe the battery screen (Samkoon) for any fault
information
* Correct any faults
The alternator regulator has a fault
* The LED on the regulator is red or flashing red
Count the flashes and compare to the fault table locate
in the APS-500 Alternator Regulator section.
* Correct any faults
The Firefly system isn't
communicating with the regulator
Check RV-C wiring connections and verify network
termination resistance is ~60Ω
The screen flickers
excessively,
continuously
The DCDC converter may be
defective - low voltage or noisy DC
Replace BDU - contact Dehco (See Must Read Before
Operating section on page 2)
Alternator charging system
Alternator doesn't
charge the battery
RPM should be approximately 1000 or greater
The battery is turned off
