Resolved Inverter Fault Light Blinking

When you unhook from shore power, watch the house batteries to see if they drop voltage quickly. I'm concerned your batteries may be toast.

Recommendation for exercising the generator monthly @ at least 50% load for 1 hour.

Absolutely! The concept is an idle is destructive/hard on an engine.

Electricians are charged with manually rotating motors/generators in their care on a schedule to reduce the chance of developing flat spots on the bearing. My guess is if your oil is fresh a few cranks of the starter would do the trick..

That's all I do because 50% load doesn't happen in my world very often.

I am curious. How many flashes did you get before the pause?

Just wanted to know what code it came up with.

Thanks for the tip! As of this AM the Inverter Monitor is reporting the house batteries are fully charged and is in standby mode.

During all the research I did yesterday, I did run across the cautionary information indicating batteries that have been completely discharged may not regain function.

Will keep you updated.

Thanks,

Kevin,

Thanks for the response. I am not sure I understand your question, but interested in your question regarding flashes & code. Could you elaborate?

Thanks,
