Quattro 10000 in parallel will not enter idle state

Please see the image below that shows the remote console of the setup.


Currently getting zero AC load, but the Quattros are still inverting and won't enter an idle state.


You can see that the battery current is 3.8A. When Quattros are turned off this is down to 0.2A, so the Quattros are using 3.6A to inverter 0W.


I turned on AES, but no difference was observed, ideally, I would like them to enter idling mode, any advice much appreciated.

To answer my own question, Quattros do not have an idle state, only a low power state activated by "search" or "AES". The Quattro states can be seen on the VRM:

Hi @Obo

It's in the manual:

Note that AES is only operational in stand-alone systems. Not in parallel and multi-phase systems.
