I would recommend removal of the phone number from all posts if possible now that everything is sorted.
LOL I don’t really care it has an ignore button 🤣 does an admin need to do that?
You should be able to edit your post but I am not sure how the forum treats quotes after the text is edited. I would assume Sid would have to remove it as well. Either way, you also have the ability to send a private message at the top from the little message icon. Just trying to help as scam calls are out of hand as it is these days.

Glad to see it's working well for you ;-). Keep an eye on the charge cycles, might want to watch the battery voltage, etc. to make sure it's doing the right thing.
To recap: it was a firmware version mismatch + AC input calibration that were causing the issues. Both relatively easy to resolve over the phone 😉.
Before I forget: the gen start connector for Rev. B inverters: https://www.ebay.com/itm/121336985373
They should be included in the box with the inverter, but it's easy to forget.

Yep Sid is the Bomb, he needs to work with tesla next lol. I'm holding back on bugging him right now on fixing my issue, had another over chargeing going on and with no le ion. so removeing the blue right now and replacing it with the one that is wifi so I can keep my batts where I want them I know it works with no issue. I just unplug the solar from the other blue and kept cycling the gs until it got low enou gh to kick on and turn the shop vac on. geesh. I should have went all built batteries instead of building my own, though really I save more doing it the way I went, just more of a head ache getting it all stable under a full load.

I got my balancers today, and no plug 😛 sean keeps forgeting. guess I should have said something about that when you was there. *sigh*.

Was under the impression you were planning to send the gen start fob to me to hack/wire up to the gen start connector?

The new thing it’s doing now is showing a transformer error , the first time it did it was when the ac with a 6000 watt surge kicked on. Unplugging the shore power And resetting it cleared the error. I have it running in inverter only now.

Weird. Should only be possible to get that error at power up, not during normal operation. Was it on AC Mains or Inverter mode when this happened?

When ac mains are hooked up. Inverter is working fine unplugged . I went to plug it in and it shut off. If I turn it on with it plugged in it turns on for a second ( I hear the rv transfer switch switch on then off) the only thing I notice that’s changed is it’s changed over to absorption charge

Yeah guess I need to order it yet again, or see if they going to send the blasted thing. or find my other ones.

Looking at the code...will need a tad more diagnostics to figure out what's going on. It might well be connected to another dumb mistake of mine in PCB layout (having the AC output filter caps on the wrong side of the transformer current sensor).
Basically, if it's occurring in charge mode, this error is not indicating a serious problem (as the inverter is properly wired/specced/assembled); it's more annoying than anything else. The error is intended to indicate if the inverter can't limit the battery charge to the desired level due to the minimum transformer voltage--this could be caused by very high AC input voltage, and/or a custom transformer specification.
I would presume when the inverter did the shutdown error, it was not actively charging? (Diagnostics -> Throttle at 0%.)

I didn’t have time to mess with it yesterday. Not sure if it’s a coincidence or not but it did have the problem after I changed some of the charge settings. I just lowered the bulk charge down to 48.8 volts, float is matching my victron charge controller at 55.2 maybe I’ll lower that too
