17Fault

Felicity inverter error 17 (F17)

Battery voltage high

Also displayed as F17 on some models.

Faultthe inverter cuts its output and the red LED stays solid until the fault is cleared.

The exact meaning depends on your model:

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVPS2512IVPS2524IVPS3524IVPS5024IVPS5048IVPS7548IVPS-7548IVPS10048+9

What it means

Battery voltage highThe battery voltage is above the allowed maximum.

Cause: The battery voltage is too high; on a 48V system a reading above 60V indicates a battery problem.

How to fix it

  1. Read the battery voltage from the screen and measure the battery voltage with a multimeter.
  2. If both readings are more than 60V, the battery may have a problem and you must stop using it.

IVCM1012 PRO

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVCM2024 PROIVCM3024 PRO

What it means

Overload protection

Cause: The output was overloaded long enough to trip overload protection: the connected loads exceed what the inverter can supply continuously.

How to fix it

Reduce the loads and Restart the machine.

What it means

Overload time out

Cause: The output ran in overload longer than the permitted grace period, so protection tripped rather than allow continued operation above rating.

How to fix it

Reduce the connected load by switching off some equipment.

T-REX-50KHP3G01

InverterFault

What it means

Battery 2 Overvoltage faultBattery 2 voltage is too high, the battery should be discharged.

Cause: Battery 2 voltage tripped the hardware overvoltage protection, which acts independently of the firmware — the pack is above the permitted range and should be discharged.

How to fix it

  1. Power down the inverter, wait 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge, then restart.
  2. If the fault recurs immediately or repeatedly, record the exact code and contact your installer or the manufacturer's service line.

What it means

Overload time outOverload condition timed out.

Cause: The connected load exceeded the inverter's overload capacity for longer than the allowed time, so the overload timer expired and the unit shut the output down.

How to fix it

Reduce the connected load by switching off some equipment.

LUX-S-1600LG01

BatteryFault

What it means

Eeprom is errorFault event: EEPROM (non-volatile memory) error detected on the controller.

Cause: Internal EEPROM corruption or hardware failure preventing the controller from reading or writing its stored configuration.

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit.
  2. If the error persists, contact the repair center.

What it means

Parallel FaultFault in parallel battery configuration.

Cause: A single unit is installed to a parallel system, the number of parallel battery slave controls does not match, or the wiring between paralleled units is incorrect.

How to fix it

  1. Please check if the number of parallel battery slave controls is the same
  2. Please check if a single unit is installed in a parallel system
  3. If this error occurs during parallel installation, please check the wiring. if they are connected correctly, please install them in parallel first and then restart the device
  4. If the problem persists, please contact the installation personnel.
