For inverters with display, the result of the test can be read in menu B in the display menu called
PV configuration. Upon test completion the display will automatically show the PV configuration
detected; however, only if the buttons on the display have not been used in the past 3 minutes.

Illustration 2.1: PV configuration test
The display readout shows the status of the
test. The first line shows that this concerns the
PV configuration and the second line shows
which status the test is in or which configura-
tion it has detected.

Description
IDLE
PV configuration test has not yet been run. Shown before the inverter con-
nects to grid.
OFF
PV configuration test is disabled. Applicable to TRI-Xi 1.8 and to inverters
where the test is otherwise disabled.
WAITING
The PV configuration test is ready to run, but only solar radiation for one PV
input is available. (Applicable to TRI-Xi 5.4 , the inverter can only determine
the configuration of all three modules, when two are running)
PV-AUTODE-
TECTING
The PV configuration test is running. No result yet.
INDIVIDUAL
The PV modules are connected in individual string configuration
PARALLEL 1-2*
The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 1 and 2 are connected
in parallel string configuration.
PARALLEL 1-3*
The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 1 and 3 are connected
in parallel string configuration.
PARALLEL 2-3*
The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 2 and 3 are connected
in parallel string configuration.
PARALLEL 1-2-3 The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 1, 2 and 3 are con-
nected in parallel string configuration.

*) The “PARALLEL 1-2” is only allowed for the TRI-Xi 3.6 inverter. The “PARALLEL 1-2”, “PARALLEL
1-3”, and “PARALLEL 2-3” is not allowed for the TRI-Xi 5.4 inverter.
2.1.3. LEDs
The green LED indicators show the production in percentage of the nominal inverter power rating.
The leftmost green LED is always lit when the inverter is connected to the grid. While connecting
to grid both the red LED and the leftmost green LED will be on. When the inverter is off grid, the
red LED to the left is lit to indicate that the inverter is in standby mode. No green LEDs are lit. If
