hello, on the monitor app, in the data, event history, i just noticed that the XP6000 was repeatedly telling that the AC Frequency was out of range. It usually clears up after a few minutes and the inverter never stops working. I have the frequency on the default 60 Hz. What is the issue?

thanks

Either the Grid or the Generator is fluctuating significantly in frequency, and it is outside the normal range.

I have no generator and i am not on the grid…. Only solar panels in two strings of 8 Blue Sun 460 W. I would imagine that the 6000XP would regulate the frequency?

When i look at the data recorded, it shows going in and out of the warning 18.

And it is a rainy day so not that much power. I also changed back to lead acid settings but it still does it.

It shows a generator logo but i have none…this is my second inverter in and my system is not even one year old. 

My neighbor has a similar system and her wall mount battery is not responsive after only 3 months with practically no draw.

Make sure you have Generator Boost Disabled.
