Critical codes (11)unit trips offline — do not restart before checking

01Critical

Over charge current.

Critical

Charging current exceeds the controller's safe operating limit.

CauseCharging current has exceeded the maximum safe threshold of the charge controller, possibly due to a fault in the charging circuit or excessive PV input.

Recommended fix1. Restart the charger. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

02Critical

Over temperature.

Critical

The charge controller's internal temperature has exceeded its safe operating range.

CauseController is operating in a hot environment or has insufficient airflow/ventilation, causing the heatsink temperature to exceed safe limits.

Recommended fix1. Keep the charger in the cool environment. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

03Critical

Battery voltage is too low.

Critical

The connected battery voltage has dropped below the acceptable minimum threshold.

CauseLoose, broken, or improperly connected battery wiring, or a deeply discharged/damaged battery.

Recommended fix1. Check the battery wire connection. 2. if the wire connection is ok, please contact your installer.

04Critical

Battery voltage is high.

Critical

Battery voltage has exceeded the controller's high-voltage disconnect threshold.

CauseBattery overvoltage condition, possibly due to incorrect battery system voltage setting or external charging source raising battery voltage above safe limits.

Recommended fix1. Reconnect the battery to the charger. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

05Critical

PV is high loss.

Critical

Solar (PV) input voltage exceeds the controller's maximum allowable input voltage (140V or 190V depending on model).

CausePV array open-circuit voltage exceeds the controller's maximum solar input voltage rating (95V for 30A/45A models with 12V/24V; 145V for 45A/60A/80A 48V models; 165V for 100A/120A models).

Recommended fix1. Please check the voltage of the solar panel, it should be less than 140V or 190V. 2. if the voltage is ok, please contact your installer.

07Critical

Battery temperature is too high.

Critical

Detected battery temperature exceeds the safe charging range.

CauseBattery ambient temperature is too high, or remote temperature sensor (RTS) is faulty, disconnected, or reporting incorrect values.

Recommended fix1. Check your remote temperature sensor and your battery ambient temperature. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

08Critical

Battery voltage is different.

Critical

Detected battery voltage does not match the configured/rated battery voltage of the system.

CauseBattery is incorrectly wired, has wrong rated voltage configuration (12V/24V/48V), or auto-detection has failed.

Recommended fix1. Check that the battery is properly connected or check battery rated voltage is set correctly. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

11Critical

MOS tube damaged.

Critical

The MOSFET (power switching transistor) inside the controller is damaged.

CauseInternal MOSFET hardware failure, often caused by overcurrent, short circuit, or surge events.

Recommended fix1. Restart the charger. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

12Critical

Relay is short.

Critical

The internal relay has a short-circuit fault.

CauseInternal relay hardware failure, where the relay contacts have welded or shorted closed.

Recommended fix1. Restart the charger. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

16Critical

Parallel is fault.

Critical

Parallel-operation fault: a problem has been detected in the parallel connection between charge controllers.

CauseParallel communication or wiring fault between SCCM-III controllers connected in parallel (note: SCCM3024-III and SCCM4524-III do not support parallel operation).

Recommended fix1. Restart the charger. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

17Critical

Eeprom is fault.

Critical

EEPROM (non-volatile parameter memory) read/write fault.

CauseInternal EEPROM corruption or hardware failure preventing the controller from reading/writing stored configuration.

Recommended fix1. Restart the charger. 2. if the problem remains, please contact your installer.

Common questions about SCCM3024-III error codes

What is the difference between a fault and a warning on the SCCM3024-III?
A fault puts the unit into protection and stops normal operation — this page lists 11 of them for the SCCM3024-III. A warning leaves the unit running; there are 2 warning codes here. 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 SCCM3024-III shares its firmware and fault table with 6 other model numbers: SCCM4524-III, SCCM4548-III, SCCM6048-III, SCCM8048-III, SCCM10048-III, SCCM12048-III. 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 felicitysolar SCCM-III MPPT Solar Charge Controller User Guide.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.
