22Fault

Output voltage too low.

Fault

Output voltage is too low.

CauseThe AC output voltage sagged below the allowed range, most often because a heavy load is dragging the output down, otherwise an internal voltage-regulation fault.

Recommended fixReduce the connected load. Restart the unit, if the error persists, contact the repair center.

24Fault

Excessive inverter current.

Fault

CauseThe inverter stage current exceeded its software protection limit: the connected loads, or a startup surge from motor or compressor equipment, are drawing more current than the rating.

Recommended fixReduce the connected load by switching off some equipment.

25Fault

Inverter hardware current too large.

Fault

The inverter hardware current is too large.

CauseThe hardware over-current protection on the inverter stage tripped: a sudden current spike beyond the hardware limit, typically a load surge or an output fault.

Common questions about IVCM1012 PRO error codes

What is the difference between a fault and a warning on the IVCM1012 PRO?
A fault cuts the unit's output and the red LED stays solid — this page lists 26 of them for the IVCM1012 PRO. The IVCM1012 PRO manual defines no separate warning table — every listed code stops operation. Resolve the cause of a fault before restarting; warnings can usually be cleared while the unit runs.
Which model numbers does this page cover?
The IVCM1012 PRO shares its firmware and fault table with 2 other model numbers: IVCM2024 PRO, IVCM3024 PRO. If your unit is any of these, every code on this page applies to it.
Where do these codes come from?
Every entry was transcribed from ICM.pdf — Felicity's official documentation. Each row cites its source manual (and page where printed), so you can verify the wording before acting on it.

Compiled from official Felicity user manuals. Always consult your device manual and a qualified technician before performing repairs.
