Issue
Power  is  on  at  the  Cygnus  but  the  
consumers  are  not  receiving  any  
power
The  system  has  been  switched  on  
with  the  Power  On/  Off  bu on  
but  there  is  no  display  on  the  RCC
-03
Voltage  is  lower  than  220V  over
distance
The  indicators  on  an  external  
junc on  box  are  flashing
Message  on  RCC-03:  "Ba ery  
Voltage  Too  Low"
The  RCD  keeps  tripping
The  MCB  keeps  tripping
All  units  in  series  or  parallel  con-­‐
nec on  do  not  enable
If  the  unit  shuts  down  due  to  low  voltage  or  overload  it  will  restart  automa cally  when  the  issue  has  
been  resolved.
Cygnus  User  Manual  -    v3.0            2011  
Possible  Cause(s)
The  MCBs  or  RCDs  may  not  be  
switched  on
The  emergency  stop  bu on  may  be  
depressed
Voltage  drop  over  long  cable  
distances
Cygnus  is  in  Load  Search  mode
This  indicates  that  the  voltage  has  
reached  its  lower  limit  in  the  ba ery  
bank
There  is  an  electrical  fault  with  the  
consumers  connected  to  the  AC  
output
The  consumers  being  connected  draw  
too  much  power  for  the  rated  output  
of  the  unit
Data  connec on  was  unsuccessful

Sugges ons
Check  the  MCBs  and  RCDs  (Fig.1,  B1  &  B2)  are  
pushed  up  to  the  on  posi on.
Twist  the  emergency  switch  clockwise  to  release.
If  the  distance  between  the  unit  and  the  consum-­‐
ers  is  more  than  50m  the  voltage  can  drop  too  low.  
The  voltage  can  be  boosted  by  following  the  in-­‐
struc ons  in  Appendix  1,  (6.1.1)
This  is  normal  and  is  a  power  saving  func on.  
When  consumers  are  connected  the  unit(s)  will  
automa cally  switch  out  of  this  mode  and  the  indi-­‐
cators  should  stay  on  as  long  as  power  is  being  
used.
Charge  Cygnus  from  your  chosen  renewable  power  
source  or  from  an  AC  grid  or  secondary  power  sys-­‐
tems.  
Check  the  electrical  integrity  of  the  consumers  
being  connected  to  the  unit.
Refer  to  the  maximum  output  ra ng  on  the  unit's  
ra ng  plate  and  reduce  the  total  power  draw  ac-­‐
cordingly.
Turn  off  the  units  using  the  Cygnus  1  RCC-03  (Fig.  
1,  C2),  check  the  integrity  of  all  connec ons  and  
that  they  have  been  made  correctly.  A empt  to  
restart  the  units.
