We have had a Schneider system running flawlessly (ish) for a few years now, but are moving that equipment to another house, and so went with the cheap option on the main house. Point being, I'm not totally new to solar installations, but I cannot figure out what's going on here.
I have installed two EG4-6500EX units in parallel, with communications between them, have installed a bank of 6 EG4-LL batteries with communications between them, and have connected the battery bank to both inverters. I have connected our PV array to the slave inverter (Because the conduit was already run, and it's closer to the slave than the master), and have set both inverters to EG4 on setting 05 (Battery Type).
When I start up the master inverter, it is successfully communicating with the battery bank (Battery icon blinking), but after a brief timeout, it faults with error 52. Meanwhile, the second unit does not fault, and begins charging the bank from the PV as you'd expect. The battery bank voltage is 52V as measured at the bank bus bars. The battery cables are identical in length between the two units. AC input and output are currently not connected (Units are grounded, battery rack is gorunded)
I'm unsure of where to go from here. Am I missing something?
Edited to remove reference to Error 03, which is no longer present
