7. Trouble Shooting Table

Proceed as follows for quick detection of common faults.

DC loads must be disconnected from the batteries and the AC loads must be disconnected from the inverter before the inverter
and/or battery charger is tested.

Consult your Victron Energy dealer if the fault cannot be resolved.

Problem

Cause

Solution

The inverter fails to operate
when switched on

The battery voltage is too high or too
low

Ensure that the battery voltage is within the
correct value.

The inverter fails to operate

Processor in no function-mode

Disconnect mains voltage. Switch front switch
off, wait 4 seconds.

Switch front switch on.

The alarm LED flashes

Pre-alarm alt. 1. The DC input voltage
is low

Charge the battery or check the battery
connections.

The alarm LED flashes

Pre-alarm alt. 2. The ambient
temperature is too high

Place the inverter in a cool and well-ventilated
room, or reduce the load.

The alarm LED flashes

Pre-alarm alt. 3. The load on the
inverter is higher than the nominal load

Reduce the load.

The alarm LED flashes

Pre-alarm alt. 4. Voltage ripple on the
DC input exceeds 1.25Vrms

Check the battery cables and terminals.

Check the battery capacity; increase if
necessary.

The alarm LED flashes
intermittantly

Pre-alarm alt. 5. Low battery voltage
and excessive load

Charge the batteries, reduce the load or install
batteries with a higher capacity. Use shorter
and/or thicker battery cables.

The alarm LED is on

The inverter did cut out following a pre-
alarm

Check the table for the appropriate course of
action.

The charger is not
functioning

The AC input voltage or frequency is
out of range

Ensure that the input voltage is between
185Vac and 265Vac, and that the frequency
matches the setting.

The battery is not being
charged fully

Incorrect charging current

Set the charging current at between 0.1 and
0.2x battery capacity.

A defective battery connection

Check the battery terminals.

The absorption voltage has been set to
an incorrect value

Adjust the absorption voltage to the correct
value.

The float voltage has been set to an
incorrect value

Adjust the float voltage to the correct value.

The internal DC fuse is defective

Inverter is damaged.

The battery is overcharged

The absorption voltage has been set to
an incorrect value

Adjust the absorption voltage to the correct
value.

The float voltage has been set to an
incorrect value

Adjust the float voltage to the correct value.

A defective battery

Replace the battery.

The battery is too small

Reduce the charging current or use a battery
with a higher capacity.

The battery is too hot

Connect a temperature sensor.

Battery charge current drops
to 0 when the absorption
voltage is reached

Alt. 1: Battery overtemperature (>
50°C)

• Allow battery to cool down

• Place battery in a cool environment

• Check for shorted cells
