6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your inverter:
- Keep the inverter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked to prevent overheating.
- Periodically check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Monitor the LCD display for any error codes or unusual readings.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EDECOA inverter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter not powering on | Loose battery connection, low battery voltage, ON/OFF switch off | Check battery connections, ensure battery voltage is within operating range, turn ON/OFF switch to 'ON'. |
| No AC output | Overload, short circuit, over temperature, input voltage issue | Reduce load, check for short circuits, allow unit to cool down, verify input voltage. The inverter has built-in protections for these conditions. |
| LCD display not working or showing incorrect visuals | Internal fault, connection issue | Restart the inverter. If the problem persists, contact EDECOA customer support for assistance. |
| Low solar input (0-1 amp) despite good sun | PV connection issue, MPPT controller fault, panel degradation | Verify PV array connections and voltage. Ensure panels are clean and unobstructed. If issues persist, contact support. |
For issues not listed here or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact EDECOA customer support.
