Troubleshooting
| Faults | Solutions |
|---|---|
| Power indicator off | 1. Check whether to supply power to the terminal. 2. |
Check whether the indicators are damaged.
3. If powered, check whether the positive and negative poles of the power
supply are connected inversely. The input terminal of the EPEVER RTU 4G F is
equipped with anti-reverse protection. The reverse connection shall not cause
fatal damage to the product. However, it affects the normal running before the
correct connection is restored.
WORK Indicator on solid| After power on, the WORK indicator is on solid in 60
seconds. While it cannot flash after 60 seconds, please check:
1. Check whether the SIM card is inserted correctly. 2. Confirm that the 4G
service has been activated.
WORK indicator on solid again after running for a period, please check:
1. Check whether the cloud server is normally running. 2. Check whether the
SIM card is loose or arrear.
The product emits smoke with a
pungent smell.| The actual input voltage exceeds the rated voltage of the
EPEVER RTU 4G F, causing the internal components to burn out. Don’t hesitate
to contact the supplier in time and send it to the manufacturer.
The device can’t register to the
network.| 1. Check whether the SIM card is inserted correctly. 2. Confirm
that the 4G service has been activated.
3. Check whether the input power is sufficient. The input voltage shall be DC
9~36V.
Parameters can’t be configured.| 1. Check whether the connection to the PC is
correct. 2. Check whether the serial port’s selection is correct.
