Multiplus shuts down when plugged into GX

We have two Multiplus 24/5000 Master and Slave setup both Inverters are running 26xxxxx firmware, we just installed a Venus GX and as soon as we plug in the Multiplus Inverter to the GX the Inverter shuts down, we have left everything else unplugged for the purpose of diagnostics, I can see that other people have had this problem but I can't see what they have done to resolve the problem, I have tried different cables to see if I had a faulty cable, has anybody got a solution to this problem please?

"both Inverters are running 26xxxxx firmware"


The firmware version is indicated by the last 3 digits from that number.


The first four digits are designating the product ( first two digits - "26" in your case - indicate the family of products it belongs to and the next two digits designate a specific model from that family of products).


So you might or might not have the same firmware on both inverters.

Is the Multi available in the device list on the Venus?
Have you tried to turn the Multi ON/OFF via the Venus?

and: double check if you used the correct socket on the GX unit, if you plug it into the ethernet port it will also shut-down.
