Display Message Causes
E013 The alarm is generated only when
Wrong Mode the inverter is configured with
Wrong Input Mode parallel inputs. In this particular
(parallel instead of configuration, the inverter car-
independent) ries out the input voltage check of
each of the two channels, and the
alarm is raised if the two voltages
differ by more than 20Vdc.
E014 Internal

Over- temperature allowed. Lack of adequate ven-
tilation in location where inverter
is installed can be the cause. If
ambient temperature is within the
allowed range for inverter opera-
tion, the error could be due to a
problem in the temperature sen-
sors inside the inverter.

start- up timeout part (Inverter).
It can be caused by an external
string voltage too low or due to
reduced power from PV arrays
(typically in the morning).
Solution
Make sure the setting of the "IN MODE" switch has
been intentionally positioned on "PAR" and that the
jumpers have been inserted between the two input
channels.
If the configuration of the inverter is correct, check
that the input strings have the same number of
panels in series, of the same make and with the
same inclination/orientation.
If both the configuration of the inverter and the
characteristics of the PV array comply with the
specifications, contact customer service.
inverter temperature Wait for the temperatures to which the inverter is
exposed to return within operating range and for
the inverter to cool down If the problem persists
(once the ambient temperature has returned within
the range), contact customer service. Remember
to wait for the time necessary to allow the inverter
to cool down.
Error inside the inverter that cannot be checked ex-
ternally. If the problem persists (after switching the
inverter off and then on again), contact customer
service.
Error inside the inverter that cannot be checked ex-
ternally. If the problem persists (after switching the
inverter off and then on again), contact customer
service.
If the alarm is present early in the morning it could
be useful to increase the starting voltage to al-
low the grid connection of the inverter when more
power is available from the PV array. Error inside
the inverter that cannot be checked externally. If
the problem persists (after switching the inverter off
and then on again), contact customer service.
