Model Set Fail; Set Model fail; Check the input, disconnect AC
to retry;
Model Check Fail; Check the Model set fail; Retry ;
No. Too Long; S/N to long, more than 10 chars; Check the S/N input;
No. Set Fail; Set S/N fail; Check the S/N input;
No. Check Fail; Check the S/N set fail; Retry ;
5 Common problem
1, Problem: can't communicate with storage machine
Processing: check communication configuration, connection, etc.;
2, Problem: unable to set parameters
Processing: check whether the parameter value with inverter with manual
instructions;
3, Problem: the firmware update is always fail
Processing: check the communication line stability; replace the high quality
communication try again;
