1. What should I do when my DropBear turns off?
The most likely reason for this is that the inverter has reached the “low SOC” limit and has
stopped inverting (producing 230V). In this situation, follow the “Restart under low SOC”
procedure under “How to Operate” in this manual. If this is not the case, please turn the system
off and then on again as recommended by the “Shutdown and Start-up” procedure in this
manual.
2. What happens if my batteries go flat?
Follow the “Restart under low SOC” procedure in this manual.
3. My Fronius (PV inverter) is showing “State 307”. What does this mean?
This fault is rectified automatically. Due to the low level of insolation (sunlight) early in the
morning and in the evening, the STATE codes 306 (LOW PV OUTPUT) and 307 LOW PV
VOLTAGE) are displayed routinely at these times of day. These STATE codes do not indicate
any kind of fault.
4. My Generator is turning on too frequently and/or staying on for too long. What does this
mean?
The generator should only turn on when the battery reaches the low SOC level. If this level is
reached frequently, this could mean that the loads are too large compared to the battery size.
We recommend either reviewing your loads or contacting RedEarth for more energy storage.
