Fault Code Descriptions

152607

4–13

F000

Shipping Software

S

This fault indicates that the PV225S 
has detected that the CCU2 controller 
board has shipping software installed. 
This software is not operational 
software. The correct system 
software for the PV225S must be 
downloaded into the CCU2 controller 
board.

F100

Software Restarted

S

This fault indicates that the PV225S 
has detected that the system software 
has been re-booted. This is not a true 
fault, and does not effect the 
operation of the PV225S. It is 
primarily used as a watchdog for 
debugging purposes.
