Hi. I have a Multiplus 12/1600/70. I turned it off via remote console. Can this be overridden manually, or the only way now is via software?
I belatedly realized that by turning off my inverter via the remote console, I also turned off my LAN connection, so now I can't turn it back on remotely.
No, sorry the only way now is the local console. Anything remote needs internet access.
And yeah you only do it once... : )
tks for the quick answer!
I would only suggest to add some kind of warning in the manuals for this user generated problem,as there is no easy override. In my case, this happend to the system in my summer standalone house. Now is not that easy to go there and solve this situation (generated by me)
You would think it was common sense.
Off means nothing is powered.on the AC out.
In VRM Settings there is this warning against enabling the remote mode controls:
If you move the slider to Enable there is a further warning/confirmation screen before you can change it. With the slider set to disable, the mode controls on the VRM dashboard are not displayed so you cannot change the mode by accident there.
But you can still turn the inverter Off from the Remote Console as you just discovered. I agree with you, I think it should be possible to disable this too. At least there should be a big warning before the Off command is accepted.
Also see some further undocumented features mentioned in this thread.
Is there a warning after you press Set, or is that action final? In which case it is hardly any better at preventing what the OP did in error.
How do you install the new GUI or is it not available as an update for existing Multis?
Have they fixed the bug where if you go straight from Invert to Charge without going through On it crashes out as per my link?
Two steps. Select then set. No warning. Also, if you kept the cerbo wifi access point enabled, you can connect directly to it and call up the rconsole (best practice is to wire gx devices directly to the battery) and turn it on or off ;) Of course he shut down AC and remote access, which I am sure not even a warning would necessarily have prevented.
