15K Pack HV Installation Manual Page 20 of 20
5. Troubleshooting
Check the indicators on the front to determine the state of the battery pack.
A warning state is triggered when a condition, such as with voltage or current or
temperature, is beyond design limitations.
The battery pack’s BMS periodically reports its operating state to the inverter. when the
battery pack falls outside prescribed limits, it enters a warning state. When a warning is
reported, the inverter immediately stops operation. Use the monitoring software on
the inverter to identify what caused the warning. The possible warning messages are as
follows:
•Battery Over Voltage
•Battery Under Voltage
• Battery Over Temperature
• Battery Under Temperature
• Battery Discharge Over Current
•Battery Charge Over Current
The abnormal state is cleared when the battery pack recovers normal operation.
