VRM and Cerbo GX icons inaccurate

So...Quattro48/5000/70/120V, MPPT 150/45, 2xSOK 48v100A batteries, 2kW solar panels. System running perfectly!

15A AC input from home. (Cloudy here 3 days in a row) Small AC load (HVAC).

QUESTIONS: Why is AC input icon on VRM dashboard red and empty? Why is AC Loads green and empty? Quattro is connected to cerbo by ve.bus and mk3. Why is there little off box on VRM display when quattro is clearly bulk charging the Batts?


Why does it say "system off" on cerbo and remote console?

@David Channin

Why are you connecting the inverter to the Cerbo with the ve bus and MK3? Remove the MK3.

Usually it is just a rj45 patch cable from the VE bus to the ve bus ports on the Cerbo for Comms to work.

And there is a common mistake, plugging the ve bus cable into a similar port on the Cerbo. Are you sure it is in the ve bus port on the Cerbo?

If you are connecting a laptop/other device to the ve bus with the MK3 (for instance if you are making program changes. It is it also normal for the ve bus information to not be displayed on the GX as you see in your pictures.
