9. Clear Running Record.

Clear the running information. This

contains normal operating information such as when the inverter

starts up and shuts down.

9. Clear Fault Record.

Clear the fault record for the inverter. The

Fault Record can store up to 100 faults.

4.4.2.2 Control Command

1. Force

Restart.

If a fault shutdown happens, a severe fault may

have occurred inside the inverter. The user can perform a force

reboot for one time in this menu if the user needs to restart the

inverter.

INSTRUCTION:

Force Restart

is effective only when the faults

“IntFault0010~0150” in

the troubleshooting table occur. The inverter may restore to normal
operation automatically if alarm or protection faults occur. This
function will not respond when the inverter is in operation mode and a
“FaultOperated” alarm interface will be indicated.
