DRMs for AS/NZS 4777.2:2015 and AS/NZS 4777.2:2020 

Also known as Inverter Demand Response Modes (DRMs). 

The inverter recognises all supported Demand Response commands 

and initiates the reaction within two seconds. The inverter will 

continue to respond while the mode remains asserted. 

Supported DRM commands: DRM0, DRM5, DRM6, DRM7, DRM8.
