How to get Phoenix 24/800 inverting (red/green LEDs alternate blinking)?

Hello,


I have a 100% offgrid System consisting of:

4x 150Wp=600Wp Solar Panels

Smart MPPT 100/20-48 (operated at 24 Volt)

24 Volt LiFePo4 Battery 100Ah

Phoenix inverter 24/800 with Bluetooth dongle

I had connected the earth wire from the chassis to FJ2 as shown in the Phoenix manual; and the inverter chassis (earthing connection) is connected to the earth bar of the house with a 10 sqmm wire.


The system operated well for several month; all firmware was updated and is still in latest edition.


Today I had added a BMV-712 smart (which I updated to the latest firmware). Seems to work well (just half a day in operation).


Since I have the BMV installed, the Phoenix inverter dos not work any longer (does not invert). 27 V DC is available.

Switching the inverter to ON (or ECO mode) results in alternative blinking of the red and green LED.

The Victron toolkit defines this blinking pattern with: Calibration or parameter error.

further: The inverter is turned off due to an error in the parameter storage. Update the firmware to the latest version. If the system persists return the device for repair.


I tried to update the firmware, which was not possible (since already installed).

Anybody out there who can help me?

Thanks!

If the latest FW is already installed you should contact the dealer from whom you bought it. There is nothing you can do about it.

Hello again,

is there anybody who could help with any other suggestion?

I am out of my home country and need to wait for a couple of weeks until I can ship the inverter back to the dealer.

Thank‘s a lot.
