7. TROUBLE SHOOTING TABLE
Proceed as follows for quick detection of common faults.
DC loads must be disconnected from the batteries and the AC loads must be disconnected
from the inverter before the inverter and/or battery charger is tested.
Consult your Victron Energy dealer if the fault cannot be resolved.

Processor in no function-mode.
Pre-alarm alt. 1. The DC input
voltage is low.
Pre-alarm alt. 2. The ambient
temperature is too high.
Pre-alarm alt. 3. The load on the
inverter is higher than the nominal
load.
Pre-alarm alt. 4. Voltage ripple on
the DC input exceeds 1.25Vrms.
Pre-alarm alt. 5. Low battery
voltage and excessive load.

a pre-alarm.
Solution
Ensure that the battery voltage is
within the correct value.
Disconnect mains voltage.
Switch Front switch off, wait 4
seconds
Switch front switch on.
Charge the battery or check the
battery connections.

well-ventilated room, or reduce
the load.
Reduce the load.
Check the battery cables and
terminals.
Check the battery capacity;
increase if necessary.

load or install batteries with a
higher capacity. Use shorter
and/or thicker battery cables.
Check the table for the
appropriate course of action.
