Event number Message, cause and corrective measures
801
Waiting for grid voltage > Grid failure > Check AC circuit breaker
The AC cable is not correctly connected or the country data set is not correctly
configured.
Corrective measures:
• Make sure that the circuit breaker is switched on.
• Ensure that the AC cable is not damaged and that it is connected
correctly.
• Ensure that the country data set has been configured correctly.
• Check whether the grid voltage at the connection point of the inverter is
permanently in the permissible range.
If the grid voltage is outside the permissible range due to local grid
conditions, contact the grid operator. The grid operator must agree with
an adjustment of the voltage at the feed-in point or with a change of the
monitored operating limits.
If the grid voltage is permanently within the permissible range and this
message is still displayed, contact the Service (see Section10 "Contact",
page60).
901
PE conn. missing > Check connection
The grounding conductor is not correctly connected.
Corrective measures:
• Ensure that the grounding conductor is correctly connected.
3401 to 3407
DC overvoltage > Disconnect generator
Overvoltage at the DC input. This can destroy the inverter.
This message is signalized additionally by rapid flashing of the LEDs.
Corrective measures:
• Immediately disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources
Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources.
• Check whether the DC voltage is below the maximum input voltage of
the inverter. If the DC voltage is below the maximum input voltage of the
inverter, reconnect the DC connectors to the inverter.
• If the DC voltage exceeds the maximum input voltage of the inverter,
ensure that the PV array has been correctly rated or contact the installer
of the PV array.
• If this message is repeated frequently, contact the Service (see
Section10 "Contact", page60).
