Why is the inverter on light flashing and absorption and float lights on?

After resetting the country code on my Multiplus 2, it is not accepting the mains. I have two identical Multiplus 2 and so I can cross check. One of them works perfectly and has been doing so for the last two years. When I connect the other correctly and set up correctly the mains on flashes for a few seconds and then stops and the inverter on starts flashing and the absorption and float lights are both on too.

You need to download the Victron Toolkit app to your phone / tablet as this lists all the LED codes. See about half way down this page.

I already have all the Victron software installed and I do connect to my multiplus 2 and I checked my voltages and frequencies and none of the LED codes answers what is happening to my Victron!!!

There are probably two codes. Makes it more difficult if you don't know how to read them.

That is what a GX is for.

Are these inverters part of one system? How are they programmed? Define when you say they are connected correctly?

What you possibly should do is a firmware update the inverter. Then reset up the basic programming before moving on the frequency shifting.

...

Shot in the dark but this sounds like what you are describing found in the toolkit that @pwfarnell described.

Error 24.

As a further note, if they are being added together in one system, that wont work with inverters so far apart in age and production.

Mine is absorption and float and not absorption and bulk. I did reset twice and the same is happening.

Also I already highlighted that I have two of the same Multiplus. With the same exact settings one is working fine and the other since I reset the country grid settings is not accepting the mains.

The error you highlighted is not the same.

My error is blinking mains for a few seconds and then it goes on inverter blinking and on absorption and float steady lit leds.

Half the questions needed to help diagnose are not answered.


Is is a single inverter system? What firmware is it on? Do you have a GX? What batteries and other components are there.

Did you try a factory default reset?

Dear Alexandra when an exactly identical and identically set Multiplus 2 is working perfectly on the same system then many questions are not that relevant.

Still the system is single phase and has a 5kwh battery attached to it. The firmware is the latest. and yes I have a GX which is saying relay test fault.

Can you advice how to do a factory default reset please?
