2.2 15BProper Usage
The REFUsol photovoltaic inverter transforms the direct current generated by photovoltaic (PV)
modules into alternating current and feeds this into the grid. The device may only feed into the
medium-voltage network via a galvanically isolating Transformatior. Any use beyond this is not
deemed to be proper. The manufacture will accept no liability for any damage resulting in this
respect and the user alone will bear all responsibility. The REFUsol photovoltaic inverter has been constructed according to the current state of
technology and in line with the rules of technical safety. For simplification purposes, the REFUsol photovoltaic inverter is also referred to as the “inverter” in
these instructions.

Feed-in and grid management is designated as the interactive control of the inverter by the grid operator.
According to provisions of Sec. 11 of the Renewable Energies Act (2012 version) in Germany, grid-connected PV systems must participate in feed-in and grid safety management.
This primarily involves the possibility for the grid operator to temporarily limit the PV system remotely, and even to reduce it to null in critical situations for a short period.
In such cases, the REFUpmu (power management unit) and the photovoltaic inverter are to be connected with one another by way of interface RS485. The connection to the portal or modem/router takes place via an Ethernet connection. .
Dispose of the packaging and replaced parts according
to the rules applicable in the country where the device is
installed.
Do not dispose of the REFUsol photovoltaic inverter with normal domestic waste.
The photovoltaic inverter complies with the RoHS Directive.
That means that the device can be taken to municipal disposal
sites for household appliances.

5 5BTroubleshooting
5.1 39BSelf-Test Error Messages
After the initialization routine, the system runs through a self-test. The individual parts of the
system, such as firmware and dataset, are checked and data is read in from the power control
board. If an error is detected, possible remedial measures must be taken according to the type of
error.
5.2 40BTransient Failure
If certain errors occur the inverter goes temporarily offline.
Unlike malfunctions, “transient failures” are automatically acknowledged by the inverter which
attempts to restart.
A transient failure is indicated by the red LED alarm on the control panel flashing and is stored in
the fault memory. See the Faults section.
5.3 41BFaults
Permanently programmed and parameterizable limit values are continuously monitored during ongoing operation. In order to be protected, the inverter power section is isolated from voltage
supply if a limit value is exceeded or if a failure occurs. However, the DC and AC voltages may still
be available. The corresponding fault message appears in the display.
The fault is indicated on the control panel by the red “Alarm” LED remaining illuminated.
Fault messages are stored in the fault memory, where they will remain even in the event of a power
failure. The fault memory can be called up via the display. The last 100 faults are saved in the fault
memory. The latest fault is kept at memory location S0, the oldest at S100. A new fault is always
stored to memory location S0. Any fault already at memory location S100 will be lost.
5.4 42BAcknowledging Faults
After shutdown due to a fault, the device remains locked against reactivation until the fault is acknowledged. It is not possible to acknowledge the fault while the cause of the fault still exists. After the cause of the error has been corrected, the fault can be acknowledged manually.
To acknowledge a fault message press the ESC key or switch off the solar inverter at the
DC switch, then switch it back on after waiting for a short time.
The solar inverter will start operating again.
5.5 Return of the solar inverter
Observe instructions in the installation guide to packaging and transportation.
