5. The inverter transfers the firmware from the memory card
into its memory.
The transfer takes approximately 5 … 10 minutes.
While data is being transferred, the LED RDY on the in‐
verter stays red. The LED BF flashes orange with a varia‐
ble frequency.
6. At the end of the transfer, the LED RDY and BF slowly flash red
(0.5 Hz).
Power supply failure during transfer
The inverter firmware will be incomplete if the power supply fails
during the transfer.
