5.0 Operation

No Inverter Comm

 - This fault message indicates that the router is no 

longer receiving any communication data via the Magnum Network.

Remedy: 

Reset the router by disconnecting the router 

communications cable from the inverter for 

fi

 ve seconds, and 

then reconnect (see Figure 2-5). If the fault continues check/

replace the router cable.

5.3.4.2 Stacking Fault Messages

 

A fault condition may occur when multiple inverters are stacked in parallel 

— using the router — that is not possible on a single inverter installation. Refer 

to the following fault messages to help troubleshoot the inverters.

StackClock Fault 

- 1. There is a stacker cable problem; or, 2. One 

inverter is losing synchronization with the other inverter.

Remedy: 

Ensure you are using the CAT 5 cables supplied with 

the router for parallel stacking. Check to make sure you hear an 

audible “click” when plugging in the CAT 5 cables.

Info:

 This fault has been known to occur when a Magnum Energy 

accessory is plugged into the Stack Port, but the installation is 

not using multiple inverters in a stacked con

fi

 guration. If this 

occurs, perform an inverter reset (see Section 6.2).

Stack Mode Fault - 

This unit has detected a problem with the “other” 

stacked inverter, check that unit for a fault condition.

Remedy: 

This fault will automatically clear when the fault with 

the other inverter is corrected.
