5. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
a. Check the inverter every 6 months or 1 year to
verify if there are damages on cables, accessories,
terminals and the inverter itself.

5.2 LED Displays
5.1 Regular Maintenance
b. Check the inverter every 6 months to verify if
the operating parameter is normal and there is
no abnormal heating or noise from the inverter.
1. Fault on the LCD
31 32
c. Check the inverter every 6 months to confirm there is nothing that covers the inverter heat sink, if
there is, shut-down the inverter and clear the heat sink.
Battery Maintenance
Follow the manufacturer's requirements on maintenance. When you carry out these works on batteries,
please make sure to fully shut-down the inverter for safety consideration.

5.3 Troubleshooting Based On LCD Displays
Once there is any warning or fault
occurring, users can troubleshoot
according to the LED status and the
warning/fault information on the LCD.
If the dot on the left of fault item is red,
it means the fault is active. When it is
grey, it means the fault is deactive

Restart inverter, if the error still exists, contact
Luxpower service or your inverter supplier.
1. Check if the L1, L2 and N wires are connected
correctly at inverter EPS output port;
2. Disconnect the EPS breaker to see if fault
remains. If fault persists, contact Luxpower
service or your inverter supplier.

Please check if the PV string voltage is within the
inverter specification. If string voltage is within
range, and this fault still appears, contact Luxpower
service o your inverter supplier.
Restart inverter, if the error still exists, contact
Luxpower service or your inverter supplier.
Check if the neutral wire is connected correctly.
Disconnect all PV strings from the inverter. If the
error persists, contact Luxpower service or your
inverter supplier.
Install the inverter in a place with good ventilation
and having no direct sunlight. If the installation site
is okay, please check if the NTC connector inside the
inverter is loose.
Restart inverter, if the error still exists, contact
Luxpower service or your inverter supplier.
Please check if the PV string voltage is within
the inverter specification. If string voltage is
within range, and this fault still appears, contact
Luxpower service or your inverter supplier.
Vbus over range

Check if the wires on EPS port and grid port are
connected correctly. If the error exists, contact
Luxpower service or your inverter supplier.
Restart inverter, if the error still exists, contact
Luxpower service or your inverter supplier.
Danger: Do not disconnect the battery , PV and AC input power under load.
If there is emergency issue , and you have to shut down the inverter ,please follow the steps as below.
Step1. Turn off the Grid breaker of the inverter.
4.3.2 Shut down the inverter
Step2. Switch off the load breaker.
Step3. Turn off PV breaker and then battery breaker, waiting for the LCD to go off.
4.3 Start-up and shut down the inverter
Step1. Turn on the battery system firstly,then turn on the DC breaker between battery and inverter.
Step2. Make sure the PV voltage of the strings are higher than 120V ,and check if the inverter works in PV
charge or PV charge back-up mode.
Step3. Make sure step1and 2 above work properly before turning on the grid power or generator breaker,
and check if the inverter can go to bypass mode and on-grid mode normally.
4.3.1 Start up the inverter
