5.10 Switching the Dynamic Power Display Off
As standard, the inverter signals its power dynamically via the pulsing of the green LED. When
doing so, the LED flashes on and off uniformly or is permanently lit at full power. The various
gradations are related here to the set active power limit of the inverter. If this display is not desired,
switch this function off in accordance with the following procedure. Once this has been done, the
green LED is lit permanently to signalize feed-in operation.
The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see
Section5.1 "Changing Operating Parameters", page30).
Procedure:
• In the parameter group Device > Operation, select the parameter Dynamic power
display via green LED and set this to Off.
