After the inverter is started up, the normal working state will be switched as
per the chart below:
Standing-by mode
When the DC voltage is higher than 250V but lower than 320V, the inverter will
enter the sleep mode. In this case, the inverter will keep monitoring the DC
voltage , and will enter the ready mode once it reaches the working voltage
320V.
Ready mode
When the DC voltage is over 320V, the inverter enter into the ready mode. In
this case, inverter start hardware self-checking,and after the self-checking
is over, the inverter enter power generating mode.
Power generating mode
When the external condition satisfies the power generating condition, and the
after the self-checking gets through, the inverter will enter into the power
generating mode.
Protection mode
If any external fault such as AC side grid fault is detected by the inverter,
the inverter will stop power generating and enter the protection mode, in this
case the protection indicator on LCD panel will show and display the
corresponding protection code. Troubleshooting can be performed by the user
according to this code. The inverter will keep monitoring if the external
fault is removed, and will keep in the protection mode unless the fault is
removed. It will be reenter the grid-connect power generating mode one minute
later after the fault is removed.
Fault mode
- If any internal fault is detected by the inverter, the inverter will stop power generating and enter the fault mode, in this case fault indicator on the LCD panel will show and display the corresponding fault code.
- Troubleshooting can be performed by the user according to this code. The inverter will keep monitoring if the internal fault is removed. It will be reenter the grid-connect power generating mode if the fault is removed.

Troubleshooting and maintenance
Troubleshooting
This part introduces the common fault and solving steps, provides
troubleshooting method and skills to the user, and helps the user identify and
solve some common fault of the inverter.
Tip
Faults mentioned in this part means the inverter enters the protection state
or fault state.
- The protection state is mostly caused by some external reasons, the inverter output is not matched with the grid, the grid is power off or the system is not correctly earthed, and thus the inverter acts to ensure the own safety. The inverter itself has no defect and can recover from the protection state if the system is correctly designed and installed.
- Sometimes the inverter enters the protection state by the own defect and can be recovered by resetting or repairing.
- The fault state is caused by incorrect design of system, e.g: the DC voltage is too high, and thus the inverter acts to protect the system safety. The inverter can be recovered from some faults automatically or by resetting, and some faults are caused by the own defect of the inverter, and in this case the inverter cannot be recovered and shall be repaired.
Correctly identifying the fault state of the inverter is helpful for solving the fault, so please threat as per the following steps:
- Check if the status displayed on the panel is a protection state or fault state, and record all error codes.
- Try the solution listed in Tab.6-1 and 6-2 and meanwhile check as per the following steps.
- If the voltage at the AC/DC side is normal and if the breaker is switched on?
- If the inverter is installed in a clean , dry and well ventilated place?
- If the cable sectional area satisfies the requirement?
- If the connecting cables is too long?
- If all cables are firmly connected?
- If wiring is reasonable?
- If the safety standard setting is correct?
- If you meet any problem that you cannot solve by yourself, please contact the client service man of us for the optimal solution, please provide the detailed system installation information, inverter model, serial number and fault information.
