13.6 Remote control connection The connection and disconnection of the inverter to and from the grid can be controlled through an external control. The function must be enabled via web server user interface. If the remote control function is disabled, the switching on of the inverter ALARM is dictated by the presence of the normal parameters that allow the inverter to connect to the grid.
Indicates that the inverter has detected an anomaly. This type of problem is highlighted in the Web User Interface and FIMER Installer for Solar Inverters APP. The “GFI” (ground fault) LED indicates that the inverter has detected a ground fault in the DC side photovoltaic generator.
