20 Troubleshooting
In general the Sunny Island distinguishes between events and errors.
• Events describe state changes or transient states (e.g. generator connection).
• Errors describe states that are not permitted or are only permitted up to a certain rate.
This includes warnings, failures and errors. A user interaction is generally required.
20.1 Failure Acknowledgement
If there is a failure or an error, the Sunny Island goes into standby.
Proceed as follows to confirm a failure:
1. Remove the cause.
2. Confirm error with <ENTER>.
3. Start the Sunny Island again.
20.2 Autostart Handling
The Sunny Island has an autostart meter which counts down by 1 with every automatic start. After
10 minutes of normal operation of the Sunny Island, the autostart meter is set back to its original value.
If another fault occurs when the autostart meter is at 0, the Sunny Island waits for 10 minutes and then
attempts to restart. The autostart meter begins to run again.
The number of the autostarts allowed can be set using the "250.01 AutoStr" parameter (in standby
mode).
