I had to go into LCD settings screen by holding enter for three seconds, then go to setting three. I then changed to lead acid batteries to even see voltage on my non BMS lithium test batteries. Page 44-45 in the manual. I couldn't do this in the app or website control. After that I was able...

Mine too ordered 10/26

in the app after changing to Lead acid I am able to set voltages on both app and web based control (https://monitor.eg4electronics.com/WManage/web/login). I hit the read button to see what the current settings are then adjust from there. There is a learning curve just like I had with my...

good catch I'm more interested in consumption under low load. I could have rephrased that better and I apologize. I am off grid and when away 95% of the time I was wondering what I would burn running Starlink and a couple of Ring cameras. Right now I am burning 100-200 watts using a SW 4024...

This one... pretty impressed so far just getting used to the new system. I was able to pump 75a into my temporary Rolls Lith 2s1p non BMS system at max charge 4230 watts. Using Lead Acid setting. Hope to get the 18kPv and three Power walls and put this inverter in the cabin with one power...

Markus, which solar panels did you go with?

yes

Jared thanks for the prompt reply. Is the Comm hub required for utilizing the BMS-CAN?

Ok thanks. I only have seen a 48v communication hub. Is there a separate comm box you’re talking about?

Still haven't found a solution yet. Inverter is not seeing PV. I tried updating firmware again with ccaa-000C0D with the same outcome. @EG4_Jared @EG4_Jarrett Edit: actually firmware looks like ccaa-180C0D. The other one I posted must have been the one I upgraded from?

Got a good sunny cold day for an update. With the Clamp on meter I got 744W (361V x 2.06A) PV, both with and without 1500W heater load. With no load the app and screen report 794W, while with a 1500 watt load the app was telling me I was producing 863W PV. The app is falsely reporting a higher...

Standby consumption same as operating consumption??? Looked through manual and didn't see any info on operating.

That's what mine was saying when it had the error. Now at ccaa-140A0D and working without errors. Fixed itself over the course of 3 days.

Ok thanks for this makes sense. My shop has a meter base with a disconnect and the N/G bond is there. This then feeds into my shop panel where I do not have N/G bond. However grounding and Neural are common between both panels. I see the light. Anyway, that brings up another question. This...

Same here. Device is right set via LCD, Station time zone is right at -9 for Alaska with daylight saving time enabled and User is set right at -9. However, my app time and web based control time is a hour fast. The graph timing is also off by a hour fast.

Another forum member with great advice made this on how to update time. That said my iPhone doesn't have device time on app. They were using Android. Here is his testing tread with some good info on the 6000xp. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/testing-eg4-6000xp-aio-inverter.71312/ Here is...

Thank you, manual said to call but I was able to get through to Signature with 2 min hold time and the lady was helpful on providing what you posted. Thanks for getting back. Im just having trouble finding the EG4 monitor software they point to in the manual. I was able to make setting via...

Here is another thought after taxes it is $0.56 per kWh. $25 usage fee a month

Thanks Jared. Looks like I should have pointed him to the 12v LL with the screen? I didn’t know it wouldn’t work in his case.

Thanks for the reply. @EG4_Jared @SignatureSolarJames have any onsite on this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to @EG4_Jared and @EG4_Eric for getting me updated. No more errors. Im now at 180C0D

Zapper77. Forgive me if I am wrong. Was it you that posted on another thread (can't find) that your were running SA wifi between the inverter and the Pi, and Pi hardwired to router? If so, have you had any issues with wifi disconnecting from the Inverter itself. Been looking into SA but see...

Just setting up EG4 app and can't find customer code to register. Where do I find that?

My app (iPhone) doesn't have the Device time under the Set tab. I set the time manually on the inverter, but still a hour off in the app and graphs. Frustrating trying to get this time correct.

Wired or Wifi to the inverter?

So to be clear on first sentence in the manual. Both MPPTs could have different panels? When in parallel strings must be equal? Also maybe haven’t made it that far in the manual. My panel in my shop where I am installing is not N/G bonded. How would I set it up? Keep them separate or bond...

What's the downside and or problem with shading? I'm just trying to understand the problem it may cause. Pretty new to this. Or different panels for that matter.

Hi I’m trying to help a cousin out with his Victron Quattro-II 12/3000 paired with a 12v Lifepower4 in his commercial fishing boat. We are trying to get closed loop to communicate between battery and inverter. I see with the LL with the screen you could set protocol, but unsure how you do it...

I tried searching the forum for my error code and couldn't find anything on it. Code on the monitor app says Internal communications fault 2. I will include a pic of the inverter screen but there is an unhappy face with [17] next to it. The update I did was ccaa-000C0D. Everything was...

Thanks Brucey. I think he is about to order the Cerbo, just wanted to make sure that’s all he needs.

Ok I understand that, but does it have any adverse affects to AIO inverter? Does it reduce output of other panels when one is shaded? Thanks for your help. I have a SW 4024 at the cabin and I am liking the foot print and ease of installation of this unit.

With a 1500W heater load on inverter the Solar output watts is reading 220W (bad solar day in the north) on the inverter screen and app. Without the load it is reading right at 100W. I confirmed with a clamp on ammeter it is reading 85 watts (340v x .25A) with and without load running. Just...

Awesome, on top of that monitoring individual panel performance is nice. How does it communicate with the cloud? Saw on spec it says wireless but does it go through WiFi and what is range? My shop is a metal building and not good with WiFi transmission

ok I was able too get on those, but it looks nothing like in the manual and never was able to change battery settings to lead acid for lithium without closed loop communication in apple or web app. Used LCD screen on inverter to change.

Thanks for the reply. Yes both set to the correct -9 for Alaska. Time says 18:16 when it’s 17:16 here

yes coming your way. When I came in today it was working with no errors, but if you could take a look it would be appreciated. It did say success after remote update. Thank you Jared.
