    EG4 error 61 fault even after the fix, anyone else??

    When I first setup my EG4 system the error code 61 wasn’t resolved for the EG4 6500ex inverters so I selected user on program 5 and set my bulk charge to 57.6v and the float to 54v. After the error code 61 communication fix I selected the EG4 setting on program 5 and everything was good. EG4...

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    Do we even need the comm cables to operate this system?

    Isn’t there a shunt in the inverters?

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    The fault code 61 is gone because on inverter setting #5 I selected user instead of EG4. If you select EG4 it will be there until signature solar can come up with a fix.

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    Ok, I just figured these breakers would be fine. I do have a 200 amp fuse behind the battery cabinet. Also I like the stacking negative lug idea, makes since. I’ll upgrade from those 200 amp breakers.

    New EG4 LiFePower batteries

    Just purchased 4 new EG4 LiFePower batteries. Current SOC is ~ 75% or 3 lights lit up. To top these batteries off can I just charge them from this current state or do I need to discharge them to 0% and then charge them up? Thanks

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    Trying to reply to all the messages I missed. The battery cables are what came with the batteries and yes they are small, they have to be made bigger. This current setup was to insure everything worked correctly, however I can still pull a decent load with this thin cable between the batteries...

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    Yes it runs great. It’s pulling about 1500 watts on each inverter. My A/C will not work and I’m assuming it’s because I need to install a soft start. It’s only a 2 ton system, I figured this setup would run it no problem.

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    Follow up after trouble shooting the split phase configuration on the EG4 6500-EX inverters. During the initial inverter setup I used a single string of solar panels to power the first inverter while changing the settings, then I disconnected the panels and powered up the second inverter to...

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    When I disconnect both inverters and run them on SIG setting for single phase they work awesome. I’ve hooked up solar panels to each and they both charge the battery bank and discharge to loads. It’s just when I set them up split phase, the one I designate 2P1, the inverter performs an auto...

    Here are the pictures of my setup. I’ve scrolled all my setting on both inverters and they both have the exact same settings except for 2P1 and 2P2.

    EG4 6500 EX Inverter setup issues.

    Thanks for your reply, I will take pictures and post them in a few hours when I get home. Yes both inverters are connected to battery, both output AC wiring in connected correctly, there is no grid input AC. Both inverters are tied together with the comm cable according to the manual.

    Setup is 2 - EG4 6500 ex inverters 4 - EG4 LiFePower battery’s I was wanting to run this system in split phase configuration, but I discovered some issues along the way. First - When making the battery selection in the inverter menu #5 I could not choose the EG4 battery setting...
