and the inverter will shut down. The inverter will resume normal operation when the voltage drops below the 

high battery threshold.

• 

High Temp Transformer

: The transformer temperature has exceeded its limit, and the inverter will shut-

down. The inverter will automatically restart once the inverter has cooled down.

• 

Inverter Off  by CAN

: The inverter has been turned off  with a CAN command.
