SECTION 5
TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
In the event of a fault, the PV-15208 will annunciate the condition at the operator interface. The PV-
15208 will execute an orderly shutdown and remain faulted until the fault is cleared (manually or auto-
matically).
In general, the operator should respond to any PV-15208 fault as follows:
1. The source of the fault should be sought by referring to the following chart.
2. Rectify the fault condition and attempt to clear the fault by cycling the on/off switch.
3. If the problem cannot be corrected, contact your Xantrex/Trace Technologies distributor for assis-
tance or service.

FAULT CONDITIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Fault Code Annunciation
The PV-15208 will report faults by LED display blinking the amber and green LED's on the front door
of the inverter. If a fault is detected, the red LED will light continuously and the amber and green LED's
will blink the sequence of the fault. The amber LED will light once, indicating the beginning of the fault
code sequence (first count). The green LED will blink X number of times, indicating the remainder of
the fault count. For example: If the PV-15208 experiences a ground fault (fault #3), the yellow and
green LED will flash once then the green LED will flash twice again. This sequence will repeat until the
fault condition has been corrected and cleared.
