EN

The following table shows all the possible activation combinations of “Power” “Alarm” and “GFI” LEDs on the 

LED panel 

(08)

 according to the operating status of the inverter.

Led Status

Operating state

green:

yellow:

red:

Firmware programming

The inverter firmware is being programmed (never turn off the inverter during this phase).

green:

yellow:

red:

Night mode (inverter automatically switches off)

The inverter is in night time switch-off mode (input voltage less than 70% of the set 

start-up voltage and AC grid is missing).

green:

yellow:

red:

Inverter initialization / Waiting Sun

This is a transitional state due to verification of the operating conditions. During this 

stage the inverter checks that the conditions for connecting to the grid are met.

green:

yellow:

red:

The inverter is connected and is feeding power into the grid

Normal operation. During this stage, the inverter automatically tracks and analyses the 

photovoltaic generator’s maximum power point (MPP).

green:

yellow:

red:

Missing grid

Indicates lack of grid voltage. This condition does not allow the inverter to connect to the 

grid.

green:

yellow:

red:

Warning indication: (W message codes) or Error: (E message codes)

- Indicates that the inverter control system has detected a warning (W) or error (E). It is 

possible to identify the type of problem generated in the dedicated section of integrated 

Web User Interface  (“Inverter Log” section).

green:

yellow:

red:

Temperature protection trip

Indicates that the trip relating to internal temperatures (insufficient or excessive 

temperature) may have been activated.

green:

yellow:

red:

Ventilation anomaly

Indicates ananomaly in the operation of the internal ventilation system that could limit 

output power at high ambient temperatures.

Overvoltage surge arresters triggered (where fitted)

Indicates that any class II overvoltage surge arresters installed on the AC or DC side have 

been triggered

Internal statistics memory anomaly

Indicates an operating anomaly in the internal memory on which the inverter statistics are 

stored

Buffer battery discharged

The buffer battery is low and the inverter does not maintain the time setting

green:

yellow:

red:

Pre-commissioning phase (first start-up of inverter)

The commissioning of the inverter must be completed through the Installation wizard 

steps (Web User Interface) or using the ABB Installer for Solar Inverters mobile APP

Initial configuration failure

The inverter is in locked state due to a failure in the initial configuration of the equipment, 

such as the standard network setting for the country of installation

Self-test not carried out (for Italian grid standards only) 

Self-test operation failure

Incompatibility of the device firmware versions

The firmware versions of the various devices comprising the equipment are incompatible 

and are being updated (this is an automatic operation)

Temperature sensor anomaly detected

green:

yellow:

red:

Remote OFF activated

The Remote Off command has been activated. 

The unit will not connect to the network until the remote ON command has been activated

green:

yellow:

red:

Anomaly in the insulation system of the photovoltaic generator

Indicates that a leakage to earth from the PV generator has been detected, causing the 

inverter to disconnect from the grid.
